Newspeak - Saatchi gallery




Henrijs Preiss - Resembles the oriental artworks found in Mike Nelson's work at the Camden Arts Centre.


Camille - Reflecting on the past and recreating scenes captured and remaining in the memory. Her work reminded me of the pictures i took of my grandad which had an unmistakable air of memories and the act of reminiscing. 


I found the method of painting very interesting here as the artist used minimal paint, diluted and creates a fragment of a picture. the marks appears like shadows of a memory and leave much of the canvas blank.
Tessa Farmer - Her art appears to give life to these stiff, dead creatures creating a sense of movement and grotesque animation through their hanging in space which possibly allows for a slight sway. Essentially she recontructs what has already decontucted. In my project I have begun looking at derelict structures and this takes this idea into living materials and organic structures.
