I have picked up this piece of work again as I am ready to move it forward. By taking photographs as I go along it will help to see areas that need working on. Kathryn Raffell, 2015, Acrylic on canvas, […]
Some time ago I found myself unaccountably fascinated by footpaths and gateways – the power of their eroded surfaces to reveal a history of use. Over the last few years I’ve also been making collages from 1930’s postcards and contemporary […]
I remember the first time I saw his work, I was 17 doing an AS level in art and we had a trip to Tate, my interest had just spiked in art. It was the first time I had been to […]
Firstly apologies for a lack of progress over the last week or two, there has been a lot of groundwork being put in whilst I have been waiting for materials to arrive in order to continue the moulds for the […]
When I look at these quick sketches of faces made on the acetate sheet, I see that they are not like any of the other work I am painting. They are loose and quick observations which I don’t seem to […]
Artworks encouraging people to vote in the general election will be appearing on billboards around the UK from this Thursday, 23 April, with a new work by first-time-voter Jordan Alex Smith joining those of the five already announced artists.
I am in the process of creating separate stations in a bid to combine them as one working piece for the finale at the degree show.
In the lead up to its centenary celebrations, the Ben Uri Gallery – which presents work of Jewish interest or by Jewish artists – has curated No Set Rules, an exhibition of works on paper from its own collection and that of Philip Schlee. Dany Louise visits the small space and discovers more about its history and ambitions.
These are the mixed media pieces i created at the end of this project, but i still feel there is a long way to go in this project. These responses i have created are an end to the project so […]
A new report just published by a-n gives an overview of nine Paying Artists gallery case studies showing how some galleries are already demonstrating transparency in relation to artists’ fees.
Again a huge thank you to glass build for providing the 10 specially made triangular double glazing units I will use in my piece which are now in a very safe place in the studio. The glass used in the […]
Here are a couple of sneaky shots of the frame work and its finish. It was powder coated in a medium gloss black which is tough and durable. Next stop… the glass!
One of my favorite studios was in a former Bally shoe factory in Norwich. The self contained room was a former white collar space complete with a deep pile cream carpet. It used to cause much amusement with visiting artists […]
A friend linked my recent series of photos to Impressionism. So, what is Impressionism? Impressionistic list: ‘An art of immediacy and movement’ (1) Capturing the ‘sensory effects of a scene’ (2) The impressions objects make ‘in a fleeting instant’ (3)- […]
“You see, but you don’t” Sculpture done behind the subject, ‘Environment and social” Why ? That’s very simple, we as human kind, we only think about ourselves and our quality of live, after that nothing matter anymore, but the World […]
Working to the theme 10 I decided to paint 10 colourful abstract landscapes that went with the space I was in. My work tends to be bright and colourful and as the room is white it really helped my artwork […]
With these images I was seeing what different effects I could create by using the same fragments of a face over different images then photocopy them to get a new image rather than gluing it together so it’s a permanent […]
I’m now most of my way through the top floor of the dollshouse. The side that is completed looks great, I’m really pleased with it. One of my main feelings while I’m creating this is of my disagreement with how […]
Just a couple of photographs of the progression I am making with collaging the interior of my dollshouse. It is very time consuming but it is looking more and more effective the more of it I complete. I am finding […]
These are two of my favourite face collages. The original images are from Vogue magazine and Hairstyles magazine, so the brighter coloured hair comes from the hairdressing one. The images are bright and bold and have an immediate effect on […]
Untitled (Bus Riders Series) 1976 Cindy Sherman is an American artist who is best known for her photographic self portraits. Her black and white photographs are very simple and incredibly effective, using herself as the model, dressing up and changing […]
These are some of collaged faces. After pillaging loads of magazines for eyeballs for the dolls house, I had a collection of faces that were missing their eyes or sometimes all their facial features but I had a feeling that […]
