I know many of my friends are into the likes of Banksy etc, but I've never really looked into it much. And I must say I struggled a bit. With abstract painterly approaches you can interpret what you like, and make your own assumptions. With street art it has a solid thought behind it, you either get it or you don't. I'm thinking that I need to read the Times a bit more.
Anyway, before I start blabbing on, a few pieces caught my eye. The first was a film by Pahnl, a short story of a dog. Very cute, but I'm thinking I shouldn't be appreciating it if it hasn't got huge depth to it. I liked Jonny's perception of the dog representing how our society is today, but I think I've been spending too much time at the Tate. More importantly, I stood by it thinking "I wish I was into blogging", and so here I am.
Here are a few examples but check out the website http://www.pahnl.co.uk/index.php
Someone else who caught my eye was Jeff Soto's Storm Clouds. I love his colour scheme and scribbly painterly textures. His subject areas of lust may be predic
table but I like the idea of fears because these are so personal and widespread. Basically, I miss illustrations like this within graphic design, especially in the studio at uni.
Lastly, it's Newso. I think here I enjoyed the composition, layers and colours. This was a great triptych. (or am I trying to be too poncy again) At the moment I quite like the zooming in of pictures and finding new shapes and directions, so this was right up my...no, I'm not going to say it, erm, this was bang on.
Anyway, here's to more blogs.
