21 Under 31: Young Artists to Watch in 2013

Our annual spotlight on emerging artists

By Bonnie Gangelhoff

Looking for the best young talent in the art world? Look no further. We’ve brought together a talented group of emerging artists who are already making names for themselves. Within this group you’ll find many students and graduates of top schools like the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, as well as the Florence Academy of Art and the Angel Academy in Italy. You’ll also find styles ranging from traditional to contemporary and subjects ranging from figures to still lifes. Finally, you’ll find an equal dose of wisdom and humor—and we think you’ll find yourself impressed.
