The film by Julian Schnabel delivered the tragic yet charming story of Basquiat to me before I found it, which I eventually would have through my exploration of Warhol and the world of The Factory.
His art is unlike anything else that I have seen before or since — it has a musical quality to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Whilst I was traveling around the US I stayed in Ohio, and while I was in Youngstown, Ohio I went to the Butler Institute for art. One of the exhibitions that I went to when we were walking around the Butler was a portrait exhibition by Rhoda Yanow. Her paintings were vibrant and full of [...]
Thank you Manic Street Preachers for introducing me to the work of Jenny Saville. Saville’s work adorned the cover of the Manic’s masterpiece — The Holy Bible and it was the perfect compliment to the music that was contained within that cover — visceral and obsessed in so many ways by the human body.
