Brooklyn artist Sarah Bedford kind of took me by surprise the other day. Not like she jumped out from behind a door or something like that, that would be kinda fucked up, but more that I was just cruising along, not expecting to see anything interesting, and then I ran headlong into her work. I don’t know why, but it reminds me of Doze Green’s work, even though the visual similarities are few. I can also see ties with Erika Somogyi (previously mentioned) and her naturescapes gone psychedelic. But where Somogyi leans more toward the Impressionist, Bedford uses more of the abstract in her compositions. We can sit here and talk about it all day, but art wasn’t made for talk, it was made for looking at. Go look at it.

it does make you stop in your physical/mental tracks for a moment, i would say its gently jarring.
ps - any way we can submit a site to you for review/interview?

You can post a link in the comments anytime and I’ll check it out. But, beware, I’m a total dickhole and I might not like it, in which case I just won’t say anything. Manners.
