Keemo

I found this odd painter/sculptor while roaming the internet and i like the lines and use of colour. The shapes of the faces can be a little weird but there is definitely something lovely about the more simpler paintings. To see or buy some of Keemo's work check out The Keemo Gallery.

Maurizio Anzeri

I found out about Anzeri about a month ago and find his work completely inspiring. These images are created by Maurizio Anzeri directly embroidering onto vintage photographs. I love the contrast of the soft, sophisticated greyscale images invaded by the re-modernist patterns and sharp lines. This will definitely be a big inspiration for my next uni project; wait and see what i'll come up with! 

Phuong Thuy Nguyen

Now looking at these wonderful images you may think that i am showing you some new up and coming knitwear designer (if these are not familiar to you); however you would be wrong! Phuong Thuy Nuyen is this brilliant all rounder of a designer with work ranging from garments to bags and even general installations.

I chose to show you these images in particular because i really like the use of the chunky yarn, perhaps even rope. Also it reminds me of something i had to wear on a photo shoot for a friend just before christmas.

Clyfford Still

When i was last researching for my current project for uni i came across this brilliant artist. Unfortunately it wasn't useful for my project but i still think it was a good find.

Clyfford Still, born 1904-1980, american painter and considered a leading figure of the Abstract Expressionist movement. What caught my eye was the sheer scale of the brushstrokes and often the colour combinations used.

Karolin Schnoor

I was in magma in covent garden the other week to have a quick scan at the magazines and was having a quick flick though INDIE MAGAZINE and illustrator Karolin Schnoor caught my eye. First it was the work of course, the detail in her work is beautiful and luckily such an unusual surname helped me remember it! So here i will show you a few of my favourites.

As usual click on the images to see them larger and if you enjoy these images i think you should check out Karolin Schnoor's website.

Momo Wang

So on tuesday i had the wonderful opportunity of helping out a friend which led to meeting and modelling for Momo Wang, second runner up and graduate BA print student, at the Central Saint Martins press show. Her work is incredible and practically home made! Despite being a print student she should be labelled as a textiles student as she used knit and embroidery to piece her collection together. beautiful details included crocheting the seams together by hand.
