Tierney Gearon - Exposure

I been looking at Tierney Gearon's exposure project for awhile now and I'm starting to like it more and more. I really loved the "mother project", and I was stunned to see this new body of work. I wonder what made her take such a drastic change in her presentation of the images she takes. The subject matter hasn't changed, but instead she collages to images together with the double exposure feature on her camera. I'm not sure what to think of them quite yet, but I do think they are interesting.

BP portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery

I was at the National portrait gallery last week and I stopped in to see the BP award winners show. There was a lot of good work there, but the artist Mary Jane Ansell really stood out. The first thing I noticed was the size of the painting, which was a little bit smaller than a 8x10 piece of paper. I really appreciated her choice of such a small painting given that most of the work was fairly large. I love the intimate feeling of having to get close to the work, which was lovely.

Meredith Frampton at the Tate

I was at the Tate the other day and I ran across the post world war painter Meredith Frampton. I was stunned I had never seen his work before, which was overwhelmingly beautiful in a very subtle way.

Jenny Saville

I have been a huge fan of Saville's work ever since I saw it many years ago and I am still enamored by it today. The work is both beautiful and sorrowful. She is by far one of the most talented contemporary painter working today
