Lost At E Minor: For creative people. iGoogle. Miranda Skoczek – Unicorns & Alchemy. Works on paper from Miranda Skoczek’s current exhibition, Unicorns & Alchemy at Iain Dawson Gallery, Sydney Melbourne artist Miranda Skoczek has an exhibition at Iain Dawson Gallery in Sydney which opened just last week. The show, entitled ‘Unicorns & Alchemy‘, is inspired by children’s fantasies, and combines Miranda’s signature intense colour palette with both real and imagined creatures, alongside sharp geometric forms. I’m sorry to say with Easter inbetween I’m a bit late off the mark, and a good number of these works have already sold! Great news for Miranda, not so great for collectors! Still it is such a beautiful collection of work I thought it was well worth a mention – I especially LOVE the mixed media works on paper (above), perfectly mounted in those fabulous neon acrylic frames.
If you’re in Sydney the official opening is tonight from 6.00pm! Iain Dawson Gallery 443 Oxford Street Paddington NSW 2021 Ph. (02) 9358 4337 Gallery Hours – Tuesday to Saturday 10.00am – 6.00pm.

Paperform. Swoon | hypocritedesign. Caledonia Curry is a Brooklyn based artist better known under her moniker Swoon.
Curry draws her inspiration from historical and folk sources as diverse as German Expressionist woodblock prints and Indonesian shadow puppets. Creating stunningly beautiful life-sized character studies from paper cutouts, woodblock prints and linocuts, her worlds are often populated by realistically rendered – and evocatively cut-out – street people, often her friends and family.
Her work can be found in sophisticated collections across the world including The Museum of Modern Art, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Tate Modern. Curry lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Bryony lloyd | The Artful Desperado. Art. “That Heartbreaking Invisible Place” “She makes visible that heartbreaking invisible place between the appearance and the disappearance of things,” wrote Richard Avedon about photographer Lillian Bassman, who died at 94 in her home at Manhattan last week. Like her contemporary Irving Penn, who passed away last year at age 92, Bassman worked on her art until the very end of her life. The photo above, titled “It’s a Cinch,” was taken for Harper’s Bazaar in 1951. At that time, model Stella Tennant, who appears in the shot below (part of this shoot for Vogue Germany), wasn’t even born yet – and wouldn’t be born for another 19 years. Bassman lived an extraordinary life. The daughter of bohemian Russian-Jewish immigrants living in Brooklyn, she moved in with her husband, fellow artist Paul Himmel, when she 15. Over the years, Bassman’s painterly, impressionistic style fell out of fashion. After the jump, a collection of Bassman’s work, past and present.

Saturday, 12 March 2011 lady basis by Bertrand Sallé. Patterns At Play: Kirra Jamison « Artsy Forager. I’ve always been interested in the interplay between color and pattern, how each effects the other and the visual impact both can have, even in small doses.
Australian artist Kirra Jamison’s works are a beautiful, modern mastery of both. Love Me Two Times IV, gouache, ink, pen and vinyl on paper 76x56 cm Her warm and pure palette allow her compositions to pop against neutral backgrounds. Saturated, cut-out like shapes call to mind the collages of Henri Matisse, though Jamison’s compositions tend to be a bit more complex and detailed. But anyone whose work reminds me of Matisse is an automatic fave! Willow Weep, gouache and vinyl on paper, 160x114 cm Some of her pieces, such as Willow Weep ( above ) are a delightfully dizzying kaleidoscope of color and detail.
Belong to me (after Deluany,) acrylic, gouache, pen on canvas 220x183 cm Patterned backgrounds in works like Belong To Me ( above ) appear, upon first glance to be a symmetrical repeat, but each element is revealed to be unique.

Doodlers Anonymous: The permanent home for spontaneous doodle art. Urban Sketchers. Blog. April 15th, 2014 I recently said no to a contest featuring my books in a popular teen mag.
The prize was some postcards of mine that were completed by celebrities. I turned it down because I feel that our society has an unhealthy obsession with celebrity culture, and a need to glorify superficial qualities in people (mainly appearance) and make them into role models. This is a terrible message to send to teenagers, who are often in a difficult and challenging place emotionally, and feeling physically and socially insecure at the best of times. I was at that age. I’d like to start a movement where kids are able to see the cult of celebrity for what it is. This week I read an interesting article that helped me to relax my “anti-celebrity” stance somewhat, (I believe the author is Alain de Botton, who founded the school).
“Rather than try to suppress our love of celebrity, we ought to channel it in optimally intelligent and fruitful directions. Aahhh, yes. Drawn. Gemma correll's daily diaries. 20 Wonderful Drawing Blogs.
