Member type: Artist

I am...: A fine artist working in many mediums but with a focus towards traditional skills of drawing and painting.

About my artwork: I am currently engaged in a longterm project based on the media, The work conveys my personal concern for the way the media around us manipulates and controls the people. We do not need half of what we are influenced to buy,for the benefit of the few. I am not anti capitalist simply anti greed.

Artists I like: I like many of the more traditional artists such as Giacometti, Picasso, Davinci,I also like some more modern artists however the turbulant nature of contemporary art in England at the moment, means i am unsure of what alot of what other artists, stand for as they seem to seek to hide their ideas behind to much text instead of working in the visual medium they wish to represent.

Interests: I am, interested in the medium of film and animation. I am also deeply involved with community projects within the artistic spectrum and am extremely interested in what art can give to the youth of today in terms of problem solving and self belief.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: http://www.iconoclastusa.com

The centre of the artworld is: New York, London, LA, Berlin, Beijing, my studio, online, nowhere and everywhere, another city

Will have to continue discussions re. studios some time, if you could find out how many people would move over to a new place then I can maybe arrange a viewing of some of the spaces I have looked at. Hopefully see you down Moot on Friday. Speak soon

Brakecore seems to be nicking all it's imagery of Metal which is a bit unimaginative. My own personal theory is it's look should be a bit more digital looking: say metal on an 8-bit.

Or like the kinds of visuals up with which I often come.

At 11:24am on 25th September 2008, yogyog said…: yeah - pretty well... giving the self-employed artist thing a rest, but still VJing most weekends - this sat I'm at a brake-core night in Blueprint.

I'd love more gigs like Kendal.

My long-term plan for my VJ kit is to have a second machine for interactive artworks and experimental games operated by the audience, and I can cut to that sometimes.

are you familiar with the work of 'Shazia Sikander' at all? (i think that's how you spell her name.) Your works on canvas have a similar sense of space. I know what you mean about contemporary art these days. It's the same in Australia. I think the world, its citizens and the environment are in a state of turmoil and confusion at the moment and that becomes apparent in the work made by artists.
So called Artists are constantly making visual comments on what is deplorable in our society, like you say, in weighty text based works and I agree, often missing the point by trying to be too clever. There's intellectual art and then there's ART for arts sake!... Bring back Art!
