Take Art: Fernando Chamarelli

I think I found Fernando Chamarelli using stumbleupon to browse Flickr so it was one of those wonderful fortuitous moments that occasionally lead us somewhere that we are going to enjoy visiting many times.
His profile describes the influence of Brazilian and Pre-Columbian art upon his work but as well as seeing that I see many [...]

take art: bryan charnley

I have my wife to thank for finding this artist, and is often the case nowadays it was an accidental stumbling across him while looking for something else online. I looked over and there he was, or rather there his work was on the screen and it was instantly eye-catching and the stories behind each [...]

Take Art: Mike Padilla

the (r)evolution of modern expression: it is a phrase that captures so much of the spirit of mike’s work, whether it is his art or his writing. the pieces are alive with process, with thought, with meaning — like the best art they don’t remain a fixed idea from one viewing to the next — [...]

Take Art: Ziga Sparovec

To complete the trilogy of talented artists from Whitechapel that I wanted to draw people’s attention to comes Zira Sparovec. I have had the pleasure, as have the other members of Warren Ellis’s extended online community, to see some of the process involved in creating these two particular pieces. they are the tip of the [...]

Take Art: Jessica Wagar

I seem to be spotlighting people that I have found through Whitechapel, Warren Ellis’s online community today. The number of people on that site with real creative talent is staggering and some of the work that you are privileged to look at is astounding. Check out Jessica Wagar’s artwork and you can’t be anything but [...]

Take Art: Ian Gil

It’s really nice to be surrounded by creative people, and Whitechapel, the community that Warren Ellis has built around his webcomic Freakangels is a real hive of creativity. I first became aware of Ian Gil through a thread that gave people a chance to show off their work. It was one of his ’stories that [...]

Take Art: Peter Blake

Best known for creating the cover to The Beatles album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band, Peter Blake is, for me at least, one of the most accessible of the pop artists. He is someone else I found through the Pop Art exhibition back in the nineties at the Tate Modern.
I don’t know if to [...]

Take Art: Andy Warhol

When I first saw the works of Andy Warhol i have to admit to being totally non-plussed. It was at a Pop Art exhibition at the Tate Gallery and lined up next to the other people there for me he didn’t stand his ground. I think I was arrogant enough to think I knew what [...]

Take Art: Sarah Hillenberger

 
I came across this wonderful artist through stumbleupon. She uses some really interesting media to create her pieces and I have to admit that they are something I don’t think I have ever seen. I love innovation in art and coupled with such beautiful pieces it really does touch you both intellectually and emotionally. The [...]

Take Art: John Karlo Karger

Well, maybe I am some kind of retard but this picture is about the only information that I could find on this guy. I’ve seen similar images to the above one but I think it was the colouring in this one that particularly caught my eye. I found it in http://www.ideafixa.com/ and that is probably [...]
