These up-and-coming artists are taking their art forms to another level.

After the awe-inspiring exhibitions showcased throughout 2023, the inspiration and search for emerging artists continues. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/hans-ulrich-obrist-daniel-birnbaum-vr-ar-digital-art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digital art</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrities-on-the-crypto-art-craze" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFT</a>s to the traditional paintbrush on a canvas, artists around the world have found innovative ways to evoke emotion and depth through meaningful works. Taking the meaning of art to the next level, here,&nbsp;L'OFFICIEL has put together 11 artists to keep an eye out for this year.&nbsp;

Cynthia Talmadge's "Leaves of Absence" at the 56 Henry gallery in New York in 2018.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/emily-didonato-model-chango-and-co-interior-design-studio-home-decor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a>-born artist Cynthia Talmadge is known best for her fresh take on the romantic dark side of contemporary <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/new-americana-artists-of-color-reclaiming-the-old-frontier-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Americana</a> and tabloid culture, the subject matter that centers in many of her works, ranging from oil paintings, photographs, and elaborate interior installations. Talmadge's works focus on heightened emotional states, portrayed through desolate, empty-looking environments and typically muted color palettes with a pointillist style.

Lisanne Haack, "Color ownership is a fraud," Barcelona, 2022.

As an abstract painter, Lisanne Haack utilizes color, form, and composition in her expressionistic, nonfigurative physical paintings. Haack works in both the physical and digital worlds, blending her prowess on the canvas into the software and technology available as part of the burgeoning technological art scene. Haack has exhibited her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/young-artists-interpreting-digital-art-metaverse-technology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digital artwork</a> worldwide in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/andalucia-is-the-european-destination-you-ve-been-missing-out-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spain</a>, France, Germany, Norway, and the United States, and is currently Solana's artist-in-residence.

Michaela Yearwood-Dan, "The deep I yearn / The deep I fear," 2023.

Michaela Yearwood-Dan, a multimedia contemporary artist based in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/frieze-london-looking-back-on-20-years-of-contemporary-art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">London</a>, creates works influenced by the world around her, drawing from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/political-films-tv-shows-house-of-cards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">political</a> ideas, feminity, queerness, and Blackness, as well as her personal life. By utilizing colors, shapes, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/muse-floristry-boutique-floral-arrangements-paris-florist-majid-mohammad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floral</a> motifs for their traditionally symbolic meanings, Yearwood-Dan can imbue her art with lush, vividly colored aesthetics as well as rich philosophic and personal themes. Yearwood-Dan has showcased her art globally, but her popular exhibit at Art Basel last year has since skyrocketed the artist's acclaim.&nbsp;

"Newtro" by Ahn Tae Won. Courtesy of the artist and Everyday Gallery.

Seoul-based artist Ahn Tae Won explores the line between virtual and reality through the distortion of images and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/art-memes-digital-opinions-everyday-expressions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memes</a> he finds on the internet. Navigating the ways of modern visual communication, Won utilizes materials and techniques to give the illusion of distortion and glitching on a three-dimensional scale. Manipulating the digital and content-heavy nature of the internet, Won is able to create an understanding of how the current generation processes information through humor and memes. We are excited to see how Won visualizes the 2023 reality.&nbsp;

"Shelly, Ursula + Sandy (Roving Gang)" by Emma Stern. Courtesy of the artist and Half Gallery.

New York-based artist <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/emma-stern-artist-the-male-gaze" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emma Stern</a> uses a traditional oil-on-canvas to mimic <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/elle-fanning-sculptural-trend-balmain-instyle-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sculptures</a> made with 3D technology. Her pastel works are iridescent and merge futuristic and fantasy themes to create her version of feminist and empowering pieces. In 2022, Stern had her solo exhibition Booty!, which opened at the Half Gallery in New York City. In addition to her unique approach to visuals and incredible attention to detail, Stern&rsquo;s ambitious and fierce motifs of empowering women shine through in her work.

"Sporal" by Mimosa Echard. Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Chantal Carousel.

French visual artist <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/mimosa-echard-sporal-video-game-art-exhibit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mimosa Echard</a> has made her mark in the art world by creating art inspired by the coexistence of living and non-living and human and non-human. Her works include the integration of medicinal plants to create hybrid <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/samuel-fasse-michel-gaubert-artist-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ecosystems</a>. Echard&rsquo;s installations have gone international, and her exhibits never fail to awe.

"Ultimate Vatos: Force & Honneur" by Sara Sadik. Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Crèvecoeur.

Artist Sara Sadik has continued to pursue her interest in portraying the result of subjugating marginalized French youth in her latest installations at the Cr&egrave;vecouer in Paris. Sadik integrates technology into her work, and has created visuals using the computer game Grand Theft Auto and Ultimate Vatos in order to create the effect of watching from behind the scenes of a video game. In her intimate installations, she gives a new life to technology and seamlessly combines it with artistic and futuristic elements.&nbsp;

"Project MC1R" by Dana-Fiona Armour. Courtesy of the artist.

Born in Germany, artist <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/dana-fiona-armour-artist-mc1r-project-biotech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dana-Fiona Armour</a> studied in Paris where she became fascinated by the comparison between human and non-human existence. Combining science and art, Armour has assigned a much deeper and more investigative meaning to the craft. With minimalistic visuals, Armour&rsquo;s latest MC1R Project utilizes gene-editing technology, and her previous works include the utilization of marble, animal bone powder, glass, and more. Her work is proof that there truly is no limit to artistic expression.

"Biscuits" Gallery by Talal Madani. Courtesy of the artist and MOCA.

Iranian-American artist Tala Madani creates fascinating mind-bending images that reflect current issues regarding gender issues and political authority. Mainly creating works to the effect of &ldquo;smashing the patriarchy," Madani&rsquo;s pieces are thought-provoking and use slapstick humor to create understandable metaphors for the message she is trying to convey. Her first North American exhibit, Biscuits, is on display at the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/cultural-recomendations-virgil-abloh-exhibition-mca-chicago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Museum of Contemporary Art</a> in Los Angeles and employs the theme of history and global issues. Madani&rsquo;s works have been displayed internationally from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/onitsuka-tiger-spring-summer-22-show-tokyo-milan-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tokyo</a> to Stockholm to London to New York City.

"Nature" by Kathryn Macnaughton. Courtesy of the artist.

Taking <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/dior-men-fall-winter-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abstract art</a> and shaping it into hidden themes and visuals, Canadian artist Kathryn Macnaughton successfully combines expressionism and geometric figures while employing shadow tricks and curvy elements to create natural and feminine pieces. Since her takeoff as an artist, she has had her work presented in a number of renowned galleries around the world. Mixing abstraction and reality, her pieces are a fresh perspective on abstract art.

"Autonomous Drive" by Frieda Toranzo Jaeger.  Courtesy of the artist, Steven Paneccasio, and MoMA.

Artist Frieda Toranzo Jaeger&rsquo;s paintings borderline a sculptural nature, and evoke a futuristic feel. In her multi-paneled paintings, Toranzo Jaeger creates elaborate scenes that are almost three-dimensional-like. Her latest installation Autonomous Drive is a multi-canvas series of her futuristic take on vehicles and can be viewed at the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/wolfgang-tillmans-to-look-without-fear-art-photography-exhibit-moma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MoMA</a> PS1 in New York City.
