My Favorite Current Artists

I love art museums and classic art, but I wanted to showcase some of the top notch current artists. I tend to like art that is colorful, with a sense of whimsy and energy.

Josh Agle, also known as Shag, based in Palm Springs, California. His work often has a 1960s vibe, with tiki bars and groovy people drinking cocktails.

Melvin McGee, whimsical surrealistic style oil painter. His work caught my eye at a local art festival.

Rob Gonsalves, 1959-2017, was a Canadian painter of magic realism. I first noticed his distinctive work at the Saper Art Gallery in East Lansing, Michigan.

Romero Britto, Brazilian artist whose work portrays a vibrant, celebration of life. His work has been on display in over 120 countries. As an artist, he says that he has a role as an agent of positive change.

Alec Monopoly, born in 1986 and originally from New York City. He hides his identity and paints the Monopoly man from the board game.
