FAOTW-Featured Artist of the Week
15/05/09 18:53 Filed in: Featured Artist
Last weeks sign-ups for Featured Artist was overpowering-so much so that I could not for the life of me pick two people.....so I picked four. FrenchPressKnits and Harold and Jane were featured first and it has been great. Both artists create amazing work and the best part was that they both worked in different mediums-thus we were able to experience dos (that's all the spanish I know) art forms. Well, this week is no different-so get your fingers ready to start clicking and say hello to Benconservato and BloomStudios.
Benconservato: "I'm an Australian artist, illustrator, printmaker, photographer who spends most of my time creating things." I wish I could spend most of my time creating things-most of my time is spent destroying things
One realizes right away from looking at the art work, that Benconservato spends some of the time in our world and a lot of time in a world I wish I could get a passport to!! Words like Fantasy-Tim Burton-Dreams-Mystery-Darkness-Playfullness come to mind when I look at the work above. It isn't art work filled with fear or death as some might think from a quick glance but rather a childlike imagination that has grown with an adult body. Check out more of Benconservato work in our gallery.
BloomStudios: Balance::Strength::Elegance this is at the heart of every BloomStudios creation and even the untrained eye (me) can see this foundation. Bloom's collection is made from a wide variety of materials consisting of many different types of precious/semi precious stones and precious metals like Silver and gold. It is obvious that care is taken in matching not only the stone but also the color of each stone to the specific metal. This aesthetic eye and the classical style that we see above, is key to the great success that BloomStudios has had. Feast your eyes on the rest of the collection in our gallery and please remember to support these artists by commenting and visiting their sites.
