Illustrations for paradise lost
Haven’t read much of the poem myself, but I plan to. In any case, the link send you to a gallery that shows different (‘older’) artist’s renditions of parts of paradise lost. They are rather interesting since you can see other artistic depictions of famous scenes. I quite like the engravings as well as Westall’s and Tintoretto’s, though they all are worth looking at.
While doing research for a ceramic project I hoped to try, I came across some interesting contemporary artists and their work. Obviously the artists make other works beside just lamps, so if anyone is interested in their other artist ventures, you should check out their sites.
Most of these projects while great looking, appear really simple in construction.
So without further Ado, First up :
Amy Cooper
She does ceramic lamps with an interesting organic sea life theme
next:
Meryl Till
pretty much the same idea but less organic and apparently all in cylinders.
Another:
Colin Chetwood
Flower lamps made of tissue paper and wire
Second last:
Hanna Nunn
Paper cut parchment lamps with plant themes
and lastly:
Tord Boontje (I’m happy to have found this artist’s work again finally)
made the very pretty icarus lamp
Like the artist above, uses paper in his lamps with flower themes
Here’s a link to some really superb London street art. I didn’t write the article mind you, but Banky’s work really is brilliant.
Cut to someone else’s Lj for the scoop
Let’s see if I can make a post everyday shall we?
