Studio Nos and Sony

The picture Machine

Stop motion animation 'Studio Nos' and the Sony Action Cam team came together to create this (commercial) video. It is fun to watch, and gives you an idea how old school animation is produced.

Joseph Loughborough

Joseph Loughborough is UK born artist now residing in Berlin. His charcoal drawings are dark, impulsive and intriguing. You feel the urge to explore these often grotesque and distorted faces and bodies.
From the artist statement;
"Honesty, expressionism and possibly exorcism can be read from Loughborough’s impulsive and intuitive rapid-fire mark making, which strive to grasp a comprehension of the human condition.
Drawing inspiration from various themes concerned with Camus/Kierkegaard's notion of ‘Absurdity’. Each drawing becomes story pursuing a standing point within the concept."
These are from his latest body of work "In the cave we dance".

Chris Berens

Chris Berens at his studio.

Chris Berens is not what you call 'a traditional painter'  not in the way he works and not in the way he presents his surreal and visionary ideas. His inspiration is drawn from his inner self, and he is influenced by the old Dutch masters. Not that strange, being of Dutch descend. He evolved from using oil paints into the more liquid medium of the drawing inks. Amanda  Erlanson; "a fluid medium which allowed greater flexibility than oils, as well as spectacular distortion effects reminiscent of the view through an ancient handmade lens."
Amanda Erlanson's description is well illustrated in the video below.
