David Halliday year’s end

Thought I’d preview what I’m getting printed today. End of the year.

Max Ernst

It is always fun and interesting to have a look at Ernst’s work. His use of story line in his collages has had a huge affect on both artists and writers. And the birds…

Hans Arp

A dadaist. In a time where art was a statement. There is beauty in his simple images. But…

Matthew Hickey

You can almost hear the silence in his work. A moment in a story. A peak into someone else’s soul.

Madame Peripetie

There is a lot of strange work out there. Check out his work by Madame Peripetie. Apparently a lot of her work is based on the behaviour of one of her friends. A Victor Genova. Although I cannot confirm this. It is certainly an odd coincidence though.

“Madame Peripetie explores the boundaries between fashion,
sculpture and the human body, experimenting with various fabrics and patterns;
whilst infusing high-fashion elements with abstract and conceptual
ideas, creating an eccentric escapade of color and texture. In her work she is
focusing mainly on the interaction between body, language and new media.
Her inspirations include surrealism, dadaism as well as the new wave era of the
80s, British post punk scene and the avantgarde theater of Robert Wilson.”

Agnes Toth

“Dichotomy is the main feature of my practice; my work is equally precise and detailed, but also fractured, unfinished and deconstructed. A type of manipulation, where the painting is abstract and realistic at the same time”

Bizarre. Images that seem to come out of left field. Like a Higgs Field.

The God of Six Points

These pieces were fictional photographs that I created for a book called The God of Six Points. The book was epublished several years ago and I think I’m going to republish it. The illustrations as I recall were not included in the original manuscript.

Karina Antonczak

I was having a flashback to the 70s. Acid. And the bombardment of my senses with colour. This artist from Poland has a wonderful facility with the rainbow. Great stuff.

Thu Nguyen

‘I was born in Saigon, Vietnam. Being very shy, I spent much of my childhood upstairs making quilts, doll clothes, and painting, instead of playing with other children.’

Always an outsider, Thu’s vision of America is very interesting. America looks friendly. And clean.

A Perfect Eye

she has such spinly hands… like spiders
