Some artists such as Miguel Endara have got magic coming out of their fingers and in this case out of his Micron Pen. 3.2 millions ink dots were needed to recreate a portrait of his father and it took him 210 hours to complete the piece which is not only a proof of dedication but also a very powerful illustration where the subject seems to be sleeping face on the canvas.

Damien Hirst must be used to getting all sort of good and bad criticism by now and although he has got simultaneous show all over the world right now and therefore is regarded as a major player in modern art, I can’t help to think that his latest spots series does not deserve all the fuss currently going about it.
What best to describe how I feel that this street art piece “lazy”. No need to say more.

Always wondered how they do it in that ‘Talk, Talk, Talk’ ad where people sort of draw on the TV screen and it makes some sort light marks – ‘light painting’ that is. Continue reading Light painting

Being myself an i-phone owner, I thought about getting myself a case many times but have always postponed it, until now. I smashed my phone accidentally on the floor (because I fell down the stairs for those wanting to know) last week and wished I had one of those cases, damn it.

Launched at Ickworth House in Suffolk in July 2011 (Now that would be) Telling is a collaborative project between the artist Hayley Lock, curator Catherine Hemelryk and writers Jessica Hart, Lucinda Hawksley, Ben Moor, Hallie Rubenhold and Liz Williams.
Lock and the writers have created a series of site-specific works in English stately homes. Part myth and part encrypted biography, these works reveal/conceal parallel histories of the residents of these remarkable homes.
For Transition Gallery Lock is showing a series of works originally made for a grand home proudly situated in rural Bedfordshire. These portraits of the real and imagined lovers of the Lady of the House use mirrors and light to form a multiple of 28 and include a new portrait of the Lady herself. Lock meshes a range of sumptuous materials including velvets, brocades gilt and fringing into the portraits referencing the imagined interiors of Caddington Hall the family house. Elsewhere the digitally enhanced landscapes play out their stories of love, romance and deceit in an uncanny space where truth and fiction, history and scandal collide.
