Bobby Beasley
Bobby Beasley from the UK takes brilliant photographs that for some reason feel like they were taken just yesterday, very fresh indeed. Not sure on the technical specs, maybe the natural untreated palette, flash or frame rate, but they feel just slightly eerie, very very British and like the moment was just captured seconds ago. […]
Yoshinao Satoh, PAPERS
Papers is a short film by Yoshinao Satoh from Japan. To me this brain melting project personifies the Japanese way, dedication to a craft, artistry and a sizeable commitment of dedication and time. Keep in mind that this piece was produced in 1991, before digital anything camera related and much before internet, meaning all images […]
Michael Heizer
Michael Heizer’s extraordinarily large land art project City, in Lincoln County, Nevada was completed in 2022. Amazing what 50 years of dedication and a $40 million budget (financed by patrons) can produce. On my wish list to visit along with James Turrell’s Roden Crater (what a double that would be), bookings are limited, and seasonal, […]
Hana Katoba
I was once again struck by the quality and volume of output that some people manage to wrangle from artificial intelligence. Hana Katoba is an established visual artist and experienced photographer, embracing this new tool to curiously push creative expression. Recurring themes include flowers, nature, animals, femininity, dance – all painted in cinematic palettes that […]
Every Noise at Once
One for the music lovers. Every Noise at Once is a fascinating web project by Glenn McDonald. A visual colour coded music genre map that will have you investigating new sounds all day. Get to know your classical sudanese pop, indonesian deathcore, west australian hip hop and loisville indie, amongst so many others. Each listing […]
Christopher Herwig
Canadian born Cristopher Herwig captures the type of images that make you want to just pack up and explore the world. Master of light in far away places, he tackles the more remote, far less travelled routes. Stunning. I particularly like his Trucks’n Tuks series, and plenty more inspiring images to be seen at this […]
Karel Martens
I recently discovered Dutch graphic designer and educator – Karel Martens, big thanks Aa. As designers we take in a lot, so much to see – I feel like I consumed his stunning Unbound book. My copy is in the mail. A complete catalog of work spanning decades, a consistent sense of play with colour, […]
Eric Tabuchi
French photographer Eric Tabuchi is taking photos of France’s natural landscapes and extremely interesting looking buildings. An ongoing project that aims to cover all regions of France, not just the popular and typical of which France has many. Honest imagery is powerful. Real photos from real places that makes you want to pack it up […]
SIDE CORE
Holidays are valuable. I was fortunate enough to see the SIDE CORE: Living road, Living space show at the 21st Century Contemporary Art Gallery in Kanazawa recently. My relaxed frame of mind perhaps allowed me to view these artworks more openly. SIDE CORE is a Japanese art collective that have output numerous projects exploring street […]
Mous Lamrabat
A breath of very fresh air. Stunning, a little humorous, notes of commentary and oozing with free expression, enough to make you feel inspired. I felt it…..moved. Beautiful images from Moroccan photographer Mous Lamrabat. Plenty more images to see at his website – mousmous.com
