A few artists...

CYPRIEN GAILLARD

I saw a little exhibition at Manchester City Gallery, themes concerning displacement, disenchantment and decay.

His work is about engaging with the modern landscape, 'an archeologist of recent history'.
What I liked best was the video showing changing modernist utopian apartment blocks whilst listening to The Smiths ASLEEP, haunting/depressing and a little bit strange, just what I like...





HAN FENG

Chinese painter and installation artist, creates beautifully simple pieces about everyday life.

'Single, still moments in a constantly moving world'

Like the media used in the paintings, and the hanging installations are also very interesting too! I took a little bit of inspiration from these drawings for my own SERIES.
