Delta

Boris Tellegen's sculptures draw heavily from both architecture and design. Dutch artist Tellegen aka DELTA was a pioneer of the European graffiti scene in the 1980's. His sculptures are the unison of physical versions of his graffiti tags and expertly drafted architectural drawings. I came across this artist when I was researching for my sculpture/painting last year. I love his work..it's such a amalgamation of influences.

Check out this installation video.

Dexter Dalwood

I am really looking forward to the Dexter Dalwood talk happening in connection with Dublin Contemporary. It is on at The National Gallery of Ireland @ 10.30 AM 11 Oct, 2011....check out his work .....

Dexter Dalwood’s collages and paintings typically depict imagined and constructed interiors or landscapes. These are usually devoid of figures and act as memorials or descriptions of various historic people, places or moments.


I like this interview with Dalwood (2010 via Tateshots

Damien Flood

Damien Flood's work is situated between fact and fiction. The paintings are modern landscapes that reference the history of painting with an underlying fantastical element. A fleeting familiarity can be found in the work that is soon replaced by an ambiguous questioning. Gathering imagery from varied sources, the artist is particularly interested in the research trips of the nineteenth century that explored the oceans and 'new territories'. The illustrations gathered on these voyages evoke an otherworldly feel; although they are of actual plants and creatures, they contain a mystery and scepticism. It is this notion of the undiscovered, the other, the foreign landscape that Flood searches for within his practice.

I seem to be attracted to darker palettes lately, like the colours in Damien Flood's work ..it could be that autumn has arrived. I went to check out Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy the other day, wow it was great...it looked so beautiful too. I would recommend it.

Pakayla Biehn

I was browsing around Artistaday and I came across Pakayla Biehn. I'm really into her Double Exposure Series....I like the layering of figures creating nice movement in the paintings.

Pakayla Biehn’s most recent body of work concerns her congenital vision disability, called Strabismus. Her eyesight consists of mutually exclusive images trying, unsuccessfully, to bond into a cohesive impression. She uses her own embodied identity as a starting point for her paintings and installations. Her goal is to find a visual language to negotiate the intersection of imagery and create a similar perspective to give the viewer an understanding of her own optical condition.

Damien Tran

Tran is a freelance graphic designer and screenprinter, currently living in Berlin, Germany. He works with the screenprint collective Mehr Siebdruck. I think his posters are incredible..i love the colours and layering.

Thee More Shallows

Another great band with Anticon I would recommend......Thee More Shallows

David Fulford

I came across David Fulford at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool when I was looking through the John Moores 2010 catalogue.

'Near the site'


One aspect of his painting over the past three years has involved an exploration of the portrait. In recent work Fulford has been drawn to elements of biography and the images that surround an individual. By interpreting and reconstructing imagery from the past, he creates oblique narratives that concern a desire for a sense of connectivity.
