While trolling around on Flickr I came across the work of Álvaro Tomé. There was one series of images that was very cool. Some may think these are masked “bad people” but I like how the artist lightened the concept by using colors and patterns to change the subject and feeling.
The visual stimulation of James Roper
I am loving the mind blowing work of James Roper. Where does one start, the shapes, the colors, the story? I bet I could stare at these every day and find something new. The colors are so rich and vibrant. I really like the use of shape, all telling the same story but in a different way. Make sure to check out the rest of his work!
James & Tilla Waters ceramics
In a isolated farm in mid-Wales, James and Tilla Waters are crafting some amazing beautiful objects that serve in one’s daily life. The pieces are so minimal and elegant. I really love the colors and textures used throughout the “cylindrical forms” series. I think I see these more of art pieces but I also appreciate the idea that they can serve and function.
The repetition of making by hand ensures a gradual honing of skills and allows on-going modification of form. In design terms we hope to find a good balance between being minimal and quiet yet interesting. Decoration has always been hugely enjoyable to apply and plays an important role within the constraints of form and function. These have been our foremost concerns since setting up our workshop.
Santtu Mustonen
I am loving the work of Santtu Mustonen. Not a whole lot of Bio action going on with his website but his work is pretty nice. The organic flowing shapes remind me some what of Salvador Dali’s work. On a large scale these would make an amazing statement in any open space.
The Method Behind: Derrick Hickman
I instantly took a liking to the work of Artist Derrick Hickman, particularly his Text Art . I have featured his work in the past but I thought it would be great to have Derrick answer some questions about himself and his work. Derrick also offers custom paintings done in his word portrait syle, the process is pretty cool, you can read it here.
Q: Who is?
My name is Derrick Hickman and I an artist based in Ohio. My paintings tend to revolve around the concept of memory, its constant state of evolution and how we grapple to define and make static such a nebulous concept. Text is often a vehicle used in my works, sometimes as the subject itself or as a supporting element. Always distorted or fragmented, it is meant to lead viewers as well as misguide or misdirect.
The Artwork of Markus Haub
This might just be one for the guys. I love the painting style of Markus Haub. His paintings are a collage of sorts, he takes the image himself then uses a mix of painting and manual techniques. I would love one of these paintings hanging in my house. Markus will even do a custom painting of your car.
