Katya Knight Katya Knight. Artiste plasticienne, née en 1964 a Zimbabwe. Vit et travaille en Périgord, France depuis 2000. Depuis vingt ans, je travaille autour du papier: matière première ou support pour fabriquer des eaux-fortes, des monotypes, les aquatintes, des feuilles de papier fait-main, des moulages, des objets… Le papier, si simple, si courant, est aussi un matériau extraordinaire, aux ressources variées et singulières: résistant , fragile, souple, docile, expressif, plein d’humour… Il a sa propre mémoire et le dialogue avec chaque bout de papier est différent, intarissable. Travailler le papier me donne un sentiment de liberté. J’ai suivi un cursus d’histoire de l’Art à l’Université du Pays de Galles, en Italie et aux États Unis, mais aussi, en autodidacte, j’ai fréquenté divers ateliers internationaux de papier, estampes, et vannerie. Mon lieu de travail et d'exposition est l'Atelier Ermitage à St Marcel du Périgord, ouvert depuis Juillet 2002.
principal [Dev Harlan] Gravity-Defying Land Art by Cornelia Konrads German artist Cornelia Konrads creates mind-bending site-specific installations in public spaces, sculpture parks and private gardens around the world. Her work is frequently punctuated by the illusion of weightlessness, where stacked objects like logs, fences, and doorways appear to be suspended in mid-air, reinforcing their temporary nature as if the installation is beginning to dissolve before your very eyes. One of her more recent sculptures, Schleudersitz is an enormous slingshot made from a common park bench, and you can get a great idea of what it might be like to sit inside it with this interactive 360 degree view. What you see here only begins to sratch the surface of Konrad’s work. You can see much more on her website. All imagery courtesy the artist. Update: Post updated 10/18/2016 with new photography.
Ephemeral Portraits Cut from Layers of Wire Mesh by Seung Mo Park Using a process that could be the new definition of meticulous, Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park creates giant ephemeral portraits by cutting layer after layer of wire mesh. Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers of wire with a projector, then using a subtractive technique Park slowly snips away areas of mesh. Each piece is several inches thick as each plane that forms the final image is spaced a few finger widths apart, giving the portraits a certain depth and dimensionality that’s hard to convey in a photograph, but this video on YouTube shows it pretty well. Park just exhibited this month at Blank Space Gallery in New York as part of his latest series Maya (meaning “illusion” in Sanskrit).
hérault insolite: le jardin de Roger Peridier à Castries Je vous avait parlé de cet endroit vraiment étonnant : pu rencontré Amélie et Stephan, les petits enfants du créateur de ce lieu qu'ils appellent tout simplement: "le jardin". L'eau est là , il faut la remonter. Roger a la fibre bricoleuse il construira une première éolienne de ses mains , qui sera érigé par un système ingénieux de palan. Il fabriquera ensuite 2 bassins superposés et un système de tuyaux enterrés qui permettra d'arroser le potager par simple gravité . Il commence également à construire un cabanon au dessus du puits , utilisant le sable extrait ...Mais au fil des années notre homme transforme le cabanon en petite folie , digne héritière populaire des folies montpellieraines de l’aristocratie languedocienne . un vitrail de bouteille En creusant une galerie horizontale , il tombe sur une interstrate qui laisse écouler un filet d'eau , il a trouvé une source ... et beaucoup moins profond que son puit !

Welcome to the Joseph Walsh Studios in Cork Ireland Yoshitoshi Kanemaki This summer we are proud to announce the first Empty Kingdom Art Show at 111 Minna. Within the show will be a host of fantastic artists, one of whom is Alicia Martin Lopez. Alicia works with both digital painting and oil, which she describes rather well. Her work is mysterious and other worldly, she herself is intelligent and well spoken. The most valuable lesson I learned is that there is nothing better than a deadline and the fear of showing your work in public to force you to get it done! As a student of advertising as well as an artist you have studied communication from two very different angles, what have you learned from each?
J.W. Kinsey's Artifice Portfolio My background is in fine art, and I have a degree in Computer Graphic Imaging. My career path began in the Silicon Valley workforce as an interface designer and digital artist. From there I owned and operated a high-end custom cabinet shop: it was here that I began to develop and nurture my wood and metal working skills. This has culminated in my current endeavor, J.W. Kinsey’s Artifice, a small artisan shop specializing in the creation of unique, design-driven projects focusing on timeless beauty and craftsmanship. I believe that creating a bespoke object that is uncompromising in both quality and timeless design is a noble pursuit. I have deep convictions about both construction integrity and cohesive design, and integrate masterful craft techniques with quality materials in my pursuit of heirloom quality pieces. Surface treatments typically include gilding, cold- and electro-plating, enamels and lacquers, and the use of various chemical patinas and color stains.
