With a BFA in Painting and Drawing from The University of Arizona, you’d think that Albert Chamillard’s artistic practice would require more than a simple pen. But sometimes, it’s the simplest images that capture our imagination best. Such are Chamillard’s monochromatic drawings, often presented on yellowing sheets of paper.

Inspired by Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, and Edward Gorey, Chamillard’s illustrations often center around simple geometric shapes, with an emphasis on symmetry and composition. Though fairly basic, his illustrations have grabbed the attention of over 10k followers on Instagram, and have also been exhibited nationally.

Based in Tucson, AZ, Chamillard operates a drawing and bookmaking studio. “I work during the day, so on weekdays I generally start drawing around 8 pm, and work for 2-3 hours,” he shared with Faithwaites. “Weekends provide more daytime hours, and I draw quickly, so I’m able to produce a lot of finished work. I find it helpful to have small sketchbooks with me, so I can work out ideas and sketches if I’m on the phone at work, in a meeting, etc. This time also includes finding shows, preparing works for exhibition, documenting, etc.”

His practice involves much practice. “I also draw and make art every day, and I think that having a daily practice is a natural motivator, as well,” says Chamillard. “I have a day job, and I’m a busy parent, so it’s not always easy, but for me, a lot of the drive to make art comes from the process of making art.”

Dan Perkins’ geometric art seems digital at first, but look closer. His creations are actually painstakingly painted on canvas, using oil paints. Colorful, graphic, but minimal, his work reminds of an Escher illustration – a sort of optical illusion that plays tricks on your mind.

“Color has always been a constant source of inspiration, as well as the unique space of a painting, as something that is flat, but has depth,” says the Brooklyn-based artist in an interview with Art of Choice. “That essential paradox has always been a great source of inspiration,” he says. “For me, the sublime and its shifting cultural definition has been a theme in my work, tangentially or directly, for many years. I often think of my current work as attempting to describe impossible sublime forms. Forms that seduce and reward; hopefully inviting the viewer to linger long enough to slowly tease out their logic.”

“Initially, I was working away from representation, taking images and source material and cropping them oddly, or slicing them into patterns,” he said, talking about his creative evolution. “Working through this process, I found that I was more interested in optical shape play than necessarily questioning the image. I also found a more personal voice in abstraction that was less burdened by theory. And so from there the paintings began to slowly evolve away from the image and towards abstraction.”

“By and large the images describe the natural world in some sense. Increasingly, I’ve been investigating color and light at night, nocturnes in a sense,” he says. Take a look at his exploration of shapes and colors:
