Mark Spain

Mark Spain is one of my most inspiring modern artist I know, I love how he catchers the feelings and the beauty of the women he paints, there are three different paintings all don by Mark Spain and I think that they all look gorgeous, I really admire his work.
The first painting that’s called (life study lll) do no a silkscreen is interesting to look at because of the way he has proportioned her body beautifully and how he has don the skin so detailed almost like a photograph and then put a black out line around her body, I think his don this to make it stand out more from the background that is a similar colour to her skin and then has almost underlined her bottom with the table, this doesn’t just catch your attention to in but also makes your eyes wonder around the painting witch makes it interesting to look at.                  
This is what Mark Spain said about this painting “The idea of a nude series was to create paintings with plenty of mood and feeling, using a limited palette of ochre and terracotta colours. These were painted in watercolour and so for me proved challenging in acquiring movement within the application of paints” the silkscreen is sized at 23¾" x 14½".
The second painting that’s called (Pure Elegance) I think looks amazing its fall of passion, movement and rich bright colours, agene on this panting he uses a similar background to the woman’s boy but this time because the women is waring a weight creamy dress and her skin and the colour of her skin is dark the background is a mixture of them witch gives at a nice contrast, I really like how he has used the paint in a way that on this canvas with a back board shows the texture of it and I think the texture shows more freedom and excitement that’s in this painting, I also love the lay out and how he has positioned her in the panting, the way he has made everything around her messy even the bottom of her dress and then put her figure not necessarily in the middle completely perfectly detailed.
This is what Mark Spain said about this painting “I wanted to create an image with plenty of movement and energy throughout this piece. I felt that a white dress against a gold background would keep the image fresh, and I've turned the figure away to create a little bit of mystery. As I endeavour to create movement within a picture, this image is one that I am particularly proud of” this canvas on board is sized a 30 x 30.
This third painting is a resent new one but I think it mite be one of the best of his work, this is called (longing for you) I love this painting because it really shows the feeling of the young woman dreaming or day dreaming of her lover, yearning for them to be with her in that moment, to see her and touch her, just longing for that affection and they lay out for this is grate, the contrast with the cartons behind her and the sheet that she covering there body up with really pulls your attention to the woman all to giver I think that this painting is beautiful with its bright colours and a hint on unknown in the dark background, I find it really eye catching and interesting to look at, the artist made no comment on this painting.

“The Kiss” made in 1907–1908 made by Gustav Klimt



This piece is filed with romantic, passion and you can see with all the rich golden colours and a bright mixture of colours in patches dogged all around the two people, I think that’s what this painting is all about showing what there feeling at that moment, on the mans clothes is a mucky gold to represent the feeling of richness or luckiness he has because of the woman he his holding in his arums, the woman also was that gold in her clothes, but it’s a much richer colour witch mite mean that’s she feel more thankful about the man holding her and all around the two lovers is a almost foggy gold colour, witch could meant that there in a kind of daze, oblivious to what is happening around them, the black on the mans clothes is probably to do with him feeling more protective and controlling over the woman because of fears of reality, the woman has only hints of black, my pant in this is that all different colours have meanings to them and show emotions and that’s what this pitcher is all about feelings, light blue is carom relaxed, green is for healthy, weight is for purity, reds and pinks for love and romance, I love this painting it inspires me.

Zandra Rhodes

I love this famous designer’s work, the clothes she makes are gorgeous and the bags and shoes are the like the ultimate accessory that a girl could have, the design’s she dos are all beautiful in there own way but they also all have a strange twist to them like the dress amazing design with bright complementary colour’s but if you look at the bottom of it, its all roughly cut like its not bin finished. Zandra has designed a lot of things such as bedding, pottery, bags, shoes and hats but most of all she designs clothing and that is what she is famous for.

Edgar Mueller

One of my favorite artists that uses the shock factor in his art.


I think Edgar’s work is amazing because of the allusion it gives, the fear of falling in to the gap when really it’s the same road as before, just with a lot of soft pastels used on it, the why his used the colours in this and scale of his work is really smart, for this side of the road his work becomes alive, but if u stood at the over side all you’d see was a colourful mess on the ground.
