Mike Nelson (artist)

He represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2011.[1] Nelson has twice been nominated for the Turner Prize: first in 2001 (that year the prize was won by Martin Creed), and again in 2007 (when the winner was Mark Wallinger). Nelson's installations always only exist for the time period of the exhibition which they were made for. They are extended labyrinths, which the viewer is free to find their own way through, and in which the locations of the exit and entrance are often difficult to determine.

His "The Deliverance and the Patience" in a former brewery on the Giudecca was in the 2001 Venice Biennale.[2] In September 2007, his exhibition A Psychic Vacuum was held in the old Essex Street Market, New York.[3] Essays on Nelson's projects, '24A Orwell Street King's Cross Sydney'[4] and 'The Deliverance and the Patience'[5] have been written by artist/curator Richard Grayson. Kara Walker. Biography[edit] Walker was born in Stockton, California in 1969.[1] Her retired father, Larry Walker,[2] is a formally educated artist, a professor, and an administrator.[1] Her mother worked as an administrative assistant.[3] “One of my earliest memories involves sitting on my dad’s lap in his studio in the garage of our house and watching him draw.

Kara Walker

I remember thinking: ‘I want to do that, too,’ and I pretty much decided then and there at age 2½ or 3 that I was an artist just like Dad.” —Kara Walker[4] Career[edit] Walker's silhouette images work to bridge unfinished folklore in the Antebellum South, raising identity and gender issues for African American women in particular. Walker debuted a public exhibition at the The Drawing Center in New York City in 1994. In response to Hurricane Katrina, Walker created "After the Deluge," since the hurricane had devastated many poor and black areas of New Orleans.

Zdzisław Beksiński: Terrifying Visions Of Hell By Murdered Polish Painter

But his incessantly detailed paintings blew me away. Zdzisław Beksiński (1929-2005) was a Polish born painter with no classical training who showed no real interest in museums or galleries. He started out studying architecture, then began work as a construction supervisor but he hated that. He eventually found an interest in sculpture, then photography and later painting. Those that knew him reported him to be a kind, humorous and well measured man who took little interest in over analyzing his own work. The late 90′s were a bleak time for Zdzisław Beksiński, his wife died of an illness and his son, Tomasz, committed suicide.

His paintings, most of which he chose to paint on boards rather than canvass, can now be seen in the Beksiński museum which houses 50 paintings and 120 drawings.

A flor de piel (En proceso)

Sobre él escribo la historia de mi vida. Por medio de cosidos reales realizados sobre la palma de mi mano, retrato los rostros de todas esas personas que, de alguna forma, me han marcado a lo largo de mi vida; familia, amigos, parejas, profesores… Sus vidas se han entretejido con la mía para construir mi historia, una historia que finalizará cuando me quede sin hojas sobre las que escribir.
