Laurent Chehere - Photography

Laurent Chehere is a man who follows his dreams. Working as a photographer, traveling around the world. And when living a dream, it is easy to be inspired by one - and that seems to be the case with his "Flying Houses". Edited pictures of Parisian buildings mid-air with ropes attached to them are certainly imaginative!

Kiwilicious Jewelry #14 - German Kabirski

For the first time here I present you a Russian artisan. German (yes, that's a name, even quite popular in Russia) Kabirski created very intricate and exclusive compositions out of both noble stones and wood, enamel or nacre. While his jewelry I find marvelous I am puzzled by the artist's initials composed into some of his designs. The techniques he is using have been featured before in an array of different artisans, but Kabirski enchanted me with originality and most of all bold combining of the materials. It is hard to be bored while browsing his shop!

Chet Zar - Paintings

Art can cover many topics and we all know that. So, today's topic is horror! And who might be better at painting horror themes than Chet Zar, a man who devoted his life to creating special effects in blockbusters such as The Ring and paintings inspired by Bosch and Giger? His twisted visions of monsters evoke this mysterious thrill scrolling down one's spine, combining both fear and... fascination.

The frames are made by the artist, too.

Classic Artist of the Week #15 - Roy Lichtenstein

 I always had problems with understanding the paintings of Roy Lichtenstein. Comic book strips made by a guy named like a European country - big deal. But now, after examining them once again I think I got it and you might tell me if I'm right or wrong.

Bruce Munro

Bruce Munro started to create after hitting forty, but based on the sketches he made in his teenage years. What might come out of it? As it turns out, something lively, colourful, light and playful, but in mature, experienced way. His installations are sure to bring attention to wherever they are being set.

Weekly Interview #12 - Jake Wood Evans

Tell us about yourself and your work.

I’m a painter based in Brighton, I’m all about the Aesthetic. I guess I want to learn the craft of painting, learn how to paint like the old masters, ability gives you freedom to express yourself more poetically. take realism turn it upside down, throw in a handful of expressionism and mix in some minimalism for good measure. Who knows what the day will bring?

Robert C. Jackson - Painting

Robert Jackson is a contemporary realism painter. Born in 1964, he fully devoted to art only in 1997 and before that he was a minister with an engineering diploma. Jackson's art is rooted in real life (and clearly inspired by Magritte), but there's a strange feeling of oddity in his works - that unusual atmosphere that makes you wonder - is it the composition, the things portrayed, the colours? I think it's all of that and this is yet another artist that tries to tell us "so you say there's nothing special in usualness? just watch."
