The Box That Never Closes

August 26, 2016 by Art & Photography

The Box That Never Closes | Michael Craig-Martin | 1967 | minimalist sculpture | gloss wood photograph by Vesna Milinkovic-Cotter The late 60’s feel of this sculpture caught my eye immediately – the geometric form, creamy white gloss surface and rectilinear woodgrain outline are an aesthetic dream. Note the highly conceptual approach to this work, reminding me of Craig-Martin’s American contemporary Bruce Nauman, both born in 1941. This is a very special minimalist piece, even the title matches Nauman’s matter-of-fact style in […]

Transcendent | 2016 | Indian ink, paper | dimensions: 55 x 55 cm Transcendent | detail I Transcendent | detail II A project I’ve had a mind to do for over a year. Freestyle Indian ink work, remastered to form this mandala. The beauty of this particular work is that the high res scan is at 600dpi, which means it can be reproduced at up to 2.5m in diameter.

I’m a big fan of Victor Pasmore’s work, here’s a couple of beautiful pieces I found at this particular gallery… Relief Construction 1961, Victor Pasmore This is the only 3D Victor Pasmore work that I’ve seen in person, and loved it instantly – architectural in form, and reminiscent of Le Corbusier’s influence during the 60’s; “The history of […]

Actual TOAF

August 1, 2016 by Art & Photography

So this was my actual stand at The Other Art Fair Bristol 2016, after 6 hours of step aerobics… and a 33 degree heat, it’s harder than it looks… but massively rewarding to have done my first hang… and to experience my first art fair… although I’m still recovering from the whole experience! I spend most of my time in relative isolation (most artists do), in order to get things done, so imagine the contrast of a very busy art […]
