i find the images created by dutch photographer ruud van empel particularly haunting. his technique of photoshop photo collage and deep color saturation make for work totally unique. surreal. dali approved.
Art
Hiroshi Sugimoto – Art
inspired by polaroid color photos. japanese artist and photographer sugimoto’s collaboration with hermes. scarf. art. both.
Spot Paintings – Damien Hirst
quintessentially 1990s. with over 1300 variations on the theme created, hirst’s spot paintings are still spot on. no two spots the same color. dizzy. fun. see spots run.
Sculpture – Kehinde Wiley
kehinde wiley is best known for his large scale oil paintings. i prefer his small sculptures. informed by the classical renaissance. clothed in hoodies or sports jerseys. tongue in cheek. quintessentially urban and very cool.
Art – James Nares
james nares’ art is positively wizard. he uses an over-sized calligraphy brush as magic wand. energetic monochromatic movement in one fell swoop and swish. why didn’t i think of that.
