Contemporary artist Meghan Howland has constructed a series of ethereal oil paintings that are truly elegant and mesmerizing.
The Portland-based artist is well known for amazing works that, more times than not, depict people caught in swarms of birds, flowers of bundles of fabric. Howland's most current series of paintings focuses mainly on her famous bird swarm aspect. Howland likes to leave the interpretation of work extremely open ended and just screaming with ambiguity. You never really know if the people in her photos are in grave danger or actually enjoying themselves.
Represented by the Bowerstock Gallery where you can see these series and even more of her work, Meghan Howland's ethereal oil paintings are magnificent and encourage people to expand their imaginations.
