YAN PEI-MING



YAN PEI-MING is a Chinese painter born in 1960 in Shanghai. Since 1982 he has lived in Dijon, France. His most famous paintings are "epic-sized" portraits of Mao Zedong worked out in black and white or red and white. He works with big brushes, and his paintings are brought to life by the rapid brush strokes which structure the picture space. (WIKIPEDIA)

Wow. Amazing work by photographer TOM HOOPS. Enigmatic and dark he definitely has talent to capture facial expressions in a very eager, detailed and obscure way. There is a little je-ne-sais-quoi in his work that leaves me wondering. He clearly leaves his mark and his style in each one of his photographs. All to say that I love it.

Thanks to Annives @ Icon_ology for the great discovery ;)

CRISTIANA COUCEIRO



CRISTIANA COUCEIRO is a freelance illustrator, working and living in Lisbon, Portugal.

"I have been making collages since I was a kid. I used to sit on the floor and tear up magazines for hours, joining pieces of paper of different shapes and colours together. Later I learned how to use a pair of scissors and some glue and started filling notebooks, walls and furniture. Then I just learned how to edit pictures on the computer and stopped gluing everywhere.
I collect memories, personal and collective, national and international. My collages are made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new one. They may include newspaper titles, vintage photos, pieces of paper, portions of other artworks, book pages, placed on a new piece of paper."

CECELIA WEBBER



Wow. Thanks to MIKE JARVIS I discovered the beautiful and very creative work of CECELIA WEBBER. This is what she writes on her website about her & her work:

CECELIA WEBBER was born in a forest town of only 1,500 people and spent much of her childhood in fields catching orange salamanders. She was a shy, socially incompetent child who enjoyed reading and spent hours searching for small fairy creatures in abandoned maple sugar huts and dilapidated stonewalls.

Oddly enough, as she grew older the world grew stranger and stranger. Questions revolved about in her head, knocking down reality’s framework with the force of bowling balls: Why are we made to feel so ashamed of the human body in Western culture and so much of the rest of the world? Isn’t the body a beautiful, wonderful thing, deserving nothing less than to be celebrated? As her thoughts continued to evolve, Cecelia alighted upon a petal in her mind, a new-found platform from which she could quietly challenge the status quo: she created a digital image of a flower constructed entirely from photographs of the naked human body. Thus commenced her journey as a professional artist, as she continued to grow her Petal series, develop her impressionistic and modernist paintings, and even eke out a quirky web-comic, while of course still setting aside the majority of each day to chase orange salamanders and other fairy creatures.
