Words by Noma Bar, Monday 27 July 2009

I love Massimiliano Tappari’s photo Little Bears Foot Print, the white vest and the little nail/feet make me smile every time I’m looking at it. He doesn’t have web site but you can find more stuff on line.

Features / Art It's Nice That visits the Turner Prize

Walking through sliding doors into the Tate Britain I am met by the tiptoeing-quiet typical of galleries and museums, the silence interrupted only by a group of day-tripping pensioners. Upstairs though, the atmosphere is charged with frenetic energy. The Turner Prize is about to open and journalists and photographers are everywhere, each trying to present their own unique view on what is one of the most talked about exhibitions in British art.

Work / Art Artist Henry Taylor takes over LA gallery Blum & Poe

LA gallery Blum & Poe hosts its fourth solo show of work by California born artist Henry Taylor, with a new film by Kahil Joseph. Henry Taylor’s acrylic paintings illustrate people who occupy very different public, private, interior and exterior spaces across the entire spectrum of American society. “My paintings are what I see around me… They are my landscape paintings,” he says. Henry’s work highlights the social and political issues – racial inequality, homelessness and poverty – faced by African-Americans across the country.

Work / Art Dutch artist Tymen Visser paints life in Tokyo

Artist Tymen Visser finds his inspiration in a simple appreciation of the every day. Although he was born in the Netherlands, since 2010 Tymen has lived in Tokyo. He became fascinated with the city after learning of his parents’ visits to Japan in the 70s, nearly a decade before he was born. Tymen continues to be interested and inspired by Japan’s relationship with his home country of Holland, and the historic influence of the Dutch on Japanese culture.

“I enjoy painting people and for the last couple of years I have been fully into live portrait painting. I’m very interested in the process, not just the final result,” explains Colombia-born artist Alejandra Hernández. “When you are working eye to eye with another person the painting becomes a translation of an actual situation, where everyone involved is crucial.”
