Tumblr Artist Jack Edmonds | on Tumblr (UK) Jack Edmonds is an artist/composer living and working in Camden, London. He studied Fine Art at Hastings, Bexhill and Moving Image at Brighton University where he achieved a First Class Honours. He now actively works in Fine Art, Music and Film on a freelance basis. His visual art work is a response to natural processes, compound and chemical structures and musical themes. His paintings often comment on the notion of medium specificty, where the core idea or theme of the piece is dependant on the material process. This idea also extends to the method of application and tools used in order to dictate a certain kind of motion or process that echoes the subject found in nature. Please visit his Tumblr portfolio for more paintings and music.

Hiroshi Senju (b.1958, Japan) Hiroshi Senju is one of Japan’s most celebrated contemporary artists, noted worldwide for his sublime waterfall and cliff images, often monumental in scale. Senju combines a minimalist visual language rooted in Abstract Expressionism with ancient painting techniques unique to Japan. In his most recent paintings, the New York-based artist uses fluorescent pigments to create waterfall images, a style he first explored in 2007. These paintings are black and white in daylight, yet under ultraviolet light they fluoresce an arresting electric blue. An ode to the ubiquitous city lights of our contemporary existence, Senju’s waterfalls hover between night and day as he successfully straddles the realms of industry and nature, the material and the ethereal.

Art Venti (b.1949, USA) Engaged in Metamorphesis. Colored pencils on wood, 36x36 inThe New Requiem. Colored Pencils, 40x56 inSpatial Colonies of the Inner Landscape. Colored Pencils, 34x51 in Artist Art Venti likes to experiment with shadow, light and depth in an environment that starts with a forest of tissues in a light box. The view in this box of translucent paper suggests landscape scenes that seem to move and change as the sun crosses the sky. If the inferred panorama is beguiling enough, the mind will move from the seen to the unseen and finally to what can only be a dream. Sketches of these moments are assembled and used as an elementary scaffold to begin what becomes elaborately constructed worlds drawn in color pencil. When they are complete, the observer will have an opportunity to travel through random meaning to find his own personal significance.

Mark Chadwick (UK) - Abstract Fluid Painting. Acrylic on canvas The British artist Mark Chadwick’s art practice is concerned by the use of machines in the production of an artwork. With our culture becoming more and more engaged with new technologies, Mark’s work questions the implications of handing over control of an artwork to a mechanical device. Through experimentation with using a number of crude technological devices and minimising his interaction with the decision making process. Mark’s work investigates the status of the artist and what the artwork actually is. With the actions of any machine the result of human intention, Mark uses machines to allow chance to enter the creative process, exploring ideas surrounding authorship, consciousness and interaction.  [more Mark Chadwick | found at darksilenceinsuburbia & The Lloyd Gill Gallery] Mark Chadwick (UK) - Abstract Fluid Painting.

Tumblr Artist Beth Brown | on Tumblr (b.1988, USA) - Constriction Drawing No.2 Beth Brown is a visual and sound artist, composer and musician practicing in Baltimore, Maryland. Her visual and sound pieces share a conceptual common thread of accumulation and texture as a means for creating complex systems that function as development of a language throughout her bodies of work. Through her individual drawings and sound pieces, installations, and albums, Brown explores the universal need to relate and problem-solve using an abstract vocabulary she has been generating with marks and sounds as her signifiers. Please visit artist’s website or follow her Tumblr for more work.
