Jack Hardwicke | The Eidophusikon (b.1989, UK) - Up In Smoke / African Dusk

Neurotic, thoughtful and excitable, Jack Hardwicke is a young self taught photographer based in Brighton on the South East English coast. Jack’s photography is abstract, interesting and pretty. His blog, The Eidophusikon, cames from a piece of art created by the English painter Phillip James de Loutherbourg in the 18th century that has been called an early form of cinema. The concept revolves around using mirrors and pulleys to create the illusion of movement and giving his paintings life. The idea of using images to create an illusion and a unique perspective is what drives lot of Jack’s work. “The world is full of interesting and beautiful sights and these are not always obvious and may often pass us by, I try to enhance those every day things that we don’t see or make them something worth seeing. In the main I just want to create interesting images for interested eyes.”

The music often enhances Jack’s creativity and imagination, so as other artists. “I am extremely fond of work of some Tumblr users, Jimmay Bones and Michael Chase (areaofinterest) in particular”. You can visit Jack’s Tumblr for more work. (Interview with artist by ARTchipel Apr-2012)
