Work by second year part time Fine Art student, Henry Blackshaw

Henry Blackshaw
BA Fine Art (part-time)

I am interested in the mundane, and how at times it can be a hypnotic and beautiful place. Hence why I have been doing a lot of drawings and paintings lately inside garden centres.

The buyers are free to use the resulting space in any way they see fit:

Introduce your cat’s face to the world
Promote your business
Exhibit your art work
Tell the world what you think
or anything else we haven’t thought of!
One square (22×22 cm) is £0.50 only!

Vessel 2009

In Vessel, 2009, the room becomes the body, in a sculptural way. The movement marks the intervention; the body passing trough another body. This choreographic element is always present in my work. It has been called a “promise of movement,” because you only get a glance, a second of what happened. Almost resembling an after-image, the tendency for absence becomes complete when the viewer can only see the room with marks and humid shapes disappearing on the plaster walls. This new skin absorbs my flesh; the room as a living organism.

Sangyoon Yoon

In the context of Post modern art, my works are initiated from nomadic life of globalised society. I employ unusual elements and fabricates them in my paintings which make audiences feel and understand ‘strangeness’ in the fictive circumstance.

Based on my personal experience, the ‘strangeness’ implies metaphor of tension which I have confronted in new society. Individual’s movement from low context to high context society, from Far East Asia to Europe, I started thinking of meaning of geographical and political territory and its society and individuals. My notion of territory is marked in contrast to those societies I have experienced. In which, individuals’ identities are characterized by their society’s nature.

Work from Marit Fujiwara's final collection 'Wound'

Seems like it isn’t taking long for our 2009 graduates to start making a name for themselves. BA (Hons) Textile Design graduate Marit Fujiwara’s final collection is the subject of an article in the latest Style Bubble blog.  Susie Bubble, who was named among the Evening Standard’s ‘London’s most influential’ in the Fashion category, writes:  

Look, look closer, rub your eyes a bit if you have sleep/sweat and look again.  I took literally blinked at those detailed shots and then started bemoaning and wailing into the sky shouting “Why god?  Why am I such a talentless melting potato?”  This is mind bogglingly detailed work to a crazy level that is probably above and beyond the call of a graduate trying to get their work noticed.  This is a collection that I imagine being done by a minute perfectionist where one strand can’t be out of place and the colours of the threads have to go in a specific order so as to not upset the balance.  This is where shapes of garments can be chucked out of the window because the kind of textile work going on is so intricate, with a supreme level of depth and innovation (not that Marit’s shapes are poor anyway…).  She labels some of her images as ‘cake’ and the reference is not lost when you think of the devastating anal precision that goes into a patissier’s work… these are in fact probably the clothing equivalent of Antonin Carême’s creations (just re-read his bio…too good).
