Antony Gormley   Another Place   Crosby Beach 01 702607 266x400 The Art Of The Human Essence

Can art capture the essence of human life? What is the essence of a human? Is it the body or the mind? Could it be both? Is it possible to portray the body, and the mind of a human in one single work of art? Hmmm too many questions I know, but that’s what Antony Gormley attempts to do with his incredible sculptures.

Robert BradfordIt’s official.  My love of all things puppies has been solidified by artist Robert Bradford!  Born in London, England and obtaining a B.A in painting at Ravensbourne College of Art in Kent and an M.A. in Film at the Royal College of Art, London, Bradford discovered his knack for creating sculptures out of odds and ends when he found a box of his children’s discarded toys in his studio. The toys themselves interest me in their own right as mini sculptures by unknown and uncredited artists. Mostly I use the toys abstractly as forms with which to build muscle bone or internal or external organs but all types of human pursuits can be referred to and represented through them – things loved or hated – things used and carried as tools etc etc.-Robert Bradford [ Continue Reading ]

It used to be that part of the art of good photography was to capture a moving object and make it appear so steady that it appeared to be a still life. You wanted the effect of someone yelling FREEZE right before your shot. [ Continue Reading ]

S Wiltshire 585x394 Stephen Wiltshire: The Human Camera

A picture is worth a thousand words. In this sense, architectural artist, Stephen Wiltshire became very eloquent at age five. Although actual, orated communication would not commence until the age of nine, when teachers coaxed him to speech by temporarily removing his art supplies, inspiring Stephen to ask for their most-welcomed return. “Paper” was his first word.

I don't know what he's selling, but I'm ready to buy.

London-based Jake Walters is an extraordinary photographer; he moves from fashion shoots to celebrity portraits to commercial work with style and ease. Whether the subject is still, wildly kinetic or deliberately staged, the people in Walters’ photographs are always intriguing, always demanding one’s attention longer than might be excited. And yes, folks, he is Kanye-approved, just in case you were wondering. [ Continue Reading ]
