PETER BROWN

Peter Brown is a British Impressionist who paints a range of landscapes, cityscapes and still life. I really like the layered, and blended texture that is created and the quick look of his pieces.

I do want to spend more time practicing on drawing cityscapes and I have ideas for incorporating natures and colours.

JOSE TRUJILLO

Jose Trujillo is a Mexican artist that now resides in America. Trujillo is a Impressionist painter, who likes using colours and looks at the movement and feel of a painting.

I really like the extreme strokes Trujillo creates and the bright, contrast of colours. It reminds me of nature and of flowers and I thought this would be a good idea for creating an artwork around city buildings. I like Trujillo’s city paintings, but I would like to go further and use very contrasting colours, certain colours that represent flowers or nature native to the city. I look forward to experimenting with the ideas created by Trujillo’s influence.

Serj Fedulov

Serj Fedulov is a Russian artist that focuses on urban landscapes and people. He mainly uses mixed media like acrylic, collage and watercolour. I especially like his urban landscape artworks because of the thick layers of paint being used and the collage or photography. I find his work really inspiring and effective. I feel I could use this mixed media style well with my new project.

I plan on doing some quick responses with paint and sketches to see if it works.

HANNAH NUGENT

Yesterday I attended an online artist talk, where Edinburgh based artist Hannah Nugent talked about her journey and where she is presently.

Hannah Nugent studied at Edinburgh College, and graduated at Glasgow School of Art for painting and printmaking in 2018. Since then she has moved back to her hometown Edinburgh.

She mainly works with printmaking and paint, and has recently started using digital techniques like animation. I really like her work and how vibrant her pieces are. I find her artwork really inspiring and interesting, as she starts of using Microsoft Paint to sketch her paintings and then goes on to paint them with acrylic and oil or screen print.

Attending her talk really motivated and I feel it really helped me in being inspired about the current project I’m doing.

ANGELA CANADA HOPKINS

Angela Canda-Hopkins is an American Artists based in Loveland, Colorado. She mainly works with mixed media, like nails, glass and sand and acrylic paint. Her artwork is based on cells and vibrant colours.

Her work started being focused on cells, due to her father’s battle with cancer, which Angela found very difficult to deal with.

I really like her work and the colours that are used in her artwork. I find the detailing in her work is really effective and interesting. As I feel its its heard to get detail when painting cells.

I would like to experiment with more vibrant colours, but I don’t want to stray from my theme. However, I feel Angela’s work is very influential.

LAZLO MOHOLY-NAGY

Lazlo was an Hungarian artist, born in 1895, and died 1946. He work in several different artistic medias, but was mainly known for his artworks in painting and photography. He was part of the movements, Dada, Expressionism and Modern Art and was influenced by constructivism, and was known as a strong advocate of the integration of technology industry into the arts.

I really like his photography work, as it focuses on the shadowing of shapes and the photographs really move, giving a hypnotic, surrealistic feeling. I also like how the photographs have a feeling of layering, which I find really interesting.

Looking at his paintings, its mainly geometric and very structured, yet bright contrasting colours. I feel there’s so much inspiration for the theme I’m currently working on, as I’m looking at the shaping of cells, which are quite geometric.

DANIEL ZELLER

Daniel Zeller is an American based artist, born 1965.

His paintings focus on the visual compositions of texture and lines, with the main materials being used are graphite, ink and acrylic.

Zeller challenges himself by only using a limited amount of materials, pushing the limit of what he can on limited resources 

His work resembles microscopic view on organic matter and topographic perspectives on landscape. His work can also look like psychedelic style, with the vibrant colours used and the illusion look.

I like Zellers work due to the colours used and how he combines contrasting colours together.

LA2/LAROC (ANGEL ORTIZ) 1967-PRESSENT

Angel Ortiz, born 1967, is an American Pop and graffiti artist, based in New York City. Ortiz began using LA II as a tag at the age of thirteen when doing graffiti in the Lower East Side in New York. Mostly known for his unique group of influences ranging from Chinese calligraphy to pictograph-like cave paintings. Ortiz’s work is mostly known for the use of bright colours and energetic doodle-like style. Keith Haring and Angel Ortiz met when they were around 13, due to Haring liking his graffiti style. Since then, LA2 and Keith Haring had many collaborations together and helped one another in showing their techniques.

In LA2’s work I really like the use of black outlining and vibrant colours, always making his art eye-catching. I feel there’s a simplicity with LA2’s work, maybe with having not a lot of detail, it causes the pieces to look simple, but not a bad way.
