Meet the gallery: @connectcontemporary from the US city of Atlanta.

Director Mehron Zadeh strives to represent artists whose unique work transcends the aesthetic and challenges the intellect. In our latest interview (link in bio) we discussed two such artists; J.P. Gonçalves and his use of light and shadow in his artworks, and Craig Alan and his detailed paintings and latest mural project inspired by Atlanta’s history.
.
Mehron also shares what he’s looking forward to about The Affordable Online Art Fair (open until 3 May, affordableartfair.com) and why it’s so important for people to connect with art. In his words, “the more one engages and creates a connection to the world of art, the more enjoyable, meaningful and exciting one’s life becomes.”

6/6 And with that our fabulous Online Fair #FridayFeature series of #InstagramTakeovers comes to a close. But we’re delighted that Cindy will be showing her work at our IRL (in real life) Fair in NYC later this spring! We asked her more about what 2021 has in store for her:
.
“I am excited to finish completing a "My Heart" wall for the AAF in NY to be displayed in the Spring Edition with Lilac Gallery. What this means is there will be an entire wall dedicated to the 10 x 8 inch "My Heart" pieces and I'm so excited to see how it will look. This will be the
first time to have an entire wall dedicated to them. Then in August I will be at the Market Art
+ Design which I am also super excited about.”
.
Massive thanks go out to Cindy and the wonderful team at Lilac Gallery for today’s insightful artist takeover. Head to the link in our bio to shop all of today’s featured artworks in The Affordable Online Art Fair before the fair closes on Monday 3 May! And for all your wonderful NYC-based art lovers, book your tickets now to our physical fair popping up at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 20 – 23 May, to see all of Cindy’s art in person and much more.

5/6 #InstagramTakeover with @cindyshaoul from @lilacgallerynyc

“My daily routine changes day by day, depending on the commissions that come in and what I need to be working on for Galleries. My routine has definitely changed, there’s a lot more home time, so thankfully I have my studio in my home and it works out favorably. One day I can be working on Plein air style paintings of special NYC spots, like “Alices Tea Cup” and “Cafe Cluny” and then a few days later I can be working on a collection of “My Hearts”
nonstop for days (because the oils take weeks to dry) as well as the “Dripping Dots.” Amongst
this all, I also try to fit in doing “reels” of me creating pieces for IG and social media. Usually of my “Stepping Out” pieces of women in Paris, either holding Balloons with her dog, or walking to work in heels. I love to share the process in an interesting movie-like style, I think it’s so fun.”

“Oil paint is the main medium I use, and lots of it. I love to create pieces with layers upon layers of oil paint, then at times topped with gold and silver textures. Gold and silver leaf used sparingly along with broken pieces of glass as well are mainly used in my “Dripping Dots.” The “My Hearts” are created using a pallet knife at first, gliding on the oil paints in thick chunks. Then I let it rain with gold or silver mixed media paint, letting the droplets of mixed media hit the oil paint throughout the canvas. I then take a special “fan” brush and lightly drag the mixed media paint over the oils from top to bottom and it creates this very interesting texture. Almost like rock formations out of the Grand Canyon, except in bright oil paint and gold and silver. Then when the paints dry for a few days, I take a large brush and paint in the “My Heart” with thick white oils.”

It’s time to hand over to Cindy: “I grew up in a family of artists and was around art constantly. I’m a bit of an extrovert and love to express myself. But it wasn’t until I went away to college that I realized painting was something I wanted to actively pursue. I came home on Thanksgiving break my second year in college and painted a 9-foot mural in my mom's art studio. I never stopped after that. 16 years later, and I’ve learned a lot about myself and what I love to express and create. The journey of discovery is endless, and that’s what really excites me.”

1/6 Throughout the second Affordable Online Art Fair we’ve brought you a series of #FridayFeatures where we asked a different artist to take over our feed every Friday. With the Online Fair coming to a close on 3 May, sad face emoji, this week is our final Friday feature. But fear not, we’ve saved one of the best to last! We’re delighted to have a NYC-based painter who comes from a lineage of Hungarian-Persian artists, @cindyshaoul, running today’s #InstagramTakeover!
.
Having built a diverse body of work ranging from impressionistic portraits to the colourful abstract paintings, most notably her ‘Dripping Dots’ pieces, Cindy constantly reinvents her style working on a range of collections side by side. Follow along throughout the day as she’ll be sharing a snippet of her range of styles and talking about her practice straight from her NYC home artist studio. If you like what you see, you know what to do by now, head to the link in our bio to discover more of Cindy’s impasto paintings in the Affordable Online Art Fair or tap the images in feed to shop direct.
.
Cindy Shaoul is exhibiting in The Affordable Online Art Fair with the established Lilac Gallery. The gallery’s main focus is on showcasing established and emerging American artists that explore new media with cutting-edge techniques, breaking the barrier of conventionality with expressive pieces. With artists ranging from Gee Gee Collins to Hunt Slonem, make sure you check out their gallery viewing room before the fair closes on Monday!
