Inspirational Works of Art {Created With Cassette!}
These amazing pieces of art are created by Erica Iris Simmons. Most using simple cassette tape with what must be a painstakingly amount of time and accuracy, but the worth it for their impressive results.
2009 artist to look out for.
"I have previously experimented on a more abstract basis but feel this latest series of work encapsulates my thoughts at present. It combines my interest of incorporating mixed tones and shades whilst experimenting with modifying the traditions of painting. I apply the paint with generic tools and implements: wallpaper scrapers, trowels & etc." (Exert from leeherring.com)
Artist; Ant macari
Macari is an artist with a difference, quoted from the baltic “Macari’s direct physical response to the space has resulted in a new series of site-responsive drawings, traceable throughout the building. This presentation of Ant Macari’s work is expansive and involving, presenting new visual challenges to us in and around the gallery that reaches beyond the conventional art exhibition.” He uses as you can see from the photo all the space he has available to him in the room he is situated in to produce his art. He leaves codes... Read The Rest →
Artist; Yoshitomo Nara
I actually first noticed this artists work in the Baltic Flour mill As pre-mentioned in one of my earlier posts and his work immediately stuck with me and so I started looking into his work and collection and they are a vast funny, original, different and interesting collection of work.

He has produced thousands of pictures and he often goes to small villages and observes the community and... Read The Rest →

Artist; Georgio Morandi
No artist in my mind in the twentieth century captured as much drama in their work as Georgio Morandi did in his small paintings of still life, flowers and landscapes. Again he was an Italian artist who grew up in small town named Bologna, his work shows relation to ‘Cezanne’ and cubism.‘One of the few Italian artists of his generation to have escaped the taint of Fascism, and to have evolved a style of pure pictorial values congenial to modernist abstraction. Through his simple and repetitive motifs and economical use... Read The Rest →
Artist: Italian Art ; Michelangelo and Battista Franco
I find Italian art to be the most powerful tonal art, the way the Italian artists use tone to create shapes and forms and depict out the light and dark to deceive the eye and create such a realism almost like a photo.Such work as by Michelangelo and Battista Franco of still life using shading to create the forms of the body, to create an illusion and also a perspective to the viewer. The simplicity of the tone shows by how minimal the use of it is, the pieces are... Read The Rest →
