Slideshow: 19 Artists Exhibiting at Artomatic

It would take years of gallery openings to see the crop of local work currently on display at the maze that is Artomatic, a pop-up gallery that has taken over an 11-story building in Crystal City. Camera in tow, we spent an entire afternoon exploring every corner, finding inspiration aplenty in gorgeous pieces from both emerging and established artists. If you can’t make it to the exhibition before it wraps on June 23, we’ve got a look at some of the artists who really stood out—though there were many, many more (there are more than 1,000 exhibiting). Whether you’re on the hunt for that perfect piece to add to your gallery or are just out for a little afternoon eye candy, we promise you’ll find something inspiring.

Painting of the day "Pier" by Alasdair Lindsay

Al (Alasdair) is a painter and an avid surfer. He studied Fine Art at Falmouth College, graduating in '99. His surfing lifestyle inspired his creative work. In addition to the ocean, he's inspired by abstract-expressionist painters such as Diebenkorn and Thebaud. 

"My Painting is based on the local landscape I see every day here in Cornwall. I study these places regularly and sometimes sketch on site, although I usually paint from memory and through experimentation. My painting has various influences, from my interest in mid century architecture and design, vintage poster and surfboard design, and Californian abstract artists from the 50s inform my colour and mark. My studio work is down to decisions based on instinct rather than theory. Often the subject of my painting becomes secondary to the emerging pattern of abstract areas, which must be evaluated and perhaps edited for the sake of the overall composition." - Alasdair Lindsay
