"Leon Sarantos, Apples, Grapes and Vases on Blue Cloth, 2010" by Leon Sarantos
"This contemporary approach to still life art uses vivid, deep-hued colors to portray red and green fruit, with a red vase and blue bottle on a blue cloth. This work was selected for the “Ordinary Things” exhibit at Studio 659, Indiana, June 2013." - Leon Sarantos.
“This portrait took a slightly different turn, I worked on and examined many different peonies before settling on this particular flower head, and then, when I had photographed it I found myself working with the flower's symmetry. When I had satisfied myself with how this big, bold, beautiful flower's shape was working I then experimented with it's colour, usually these big, showy, heavy-headed blooms are displayed in all their vibrant glory but I moved away from the temptation to exaggerate the vibrancy and instead muted the colours and let the form show through.” - Emma Hughes
"Cory Arcangel, Lozenge Composition, 1924 / Tableau No.IV. Losangique Pyramidal, 1925, with Red, Blue, Yellow and Black, 1924/1925 Titled No. III., 2012" by Cory Arcangel
New York based artist Cory Arcangel has produced this limited edition screen screen print of a page torn from an art history book featuring one of Mondrian’s Lozenge paintings. The Lozenge paintings are square canvases tilted at 45 degrees so that they hang in a diamond shape. Arcangel has tilted the page back by 45 degrees, making the illustrations of the painting back to the traditional square format of a canvas.
This edition follows a series of editions that have been specifically developed by Studio Voltaire to make collecting high quality contemporary art more accessible. Each print is an edition of 150, with the price starting at £50 for the initial 50 and then subsequently increasing as the edition sells out. Previous artists in this series include Phyllida Barlow, Karla Black, Anne Collier, Enrico David and Ryan Gander.
Cory Arcangel (New York, 1978) makes work in many different mediums, including drawing, print, video, performance and video game modifications. Often using appropriation, he creatively re-uses existing physical and digital materials to create works that often explore the relationship between technology and culture. Solo exhibitions include: Pro Tools, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2011), Beat the Champ, Barbican, London (2011) and Here Comes Everybody, Hamburger Bahnhof Museum fur Gegenwart, Berlin (2010). Archangel is represented by Team, New York and Lisson Gallery, London.
"Cutter Cutshaw, Clarity Through Despair, 2011" by Cutter Cutshaw
“‘Clarity Through Despair’ is a spiritual exploration of thinking outside-the-box. I realized that one can find and create beauty through chaos and despair. When one looks closer and deeper into his or hers despair, fear is often present. But, fear tends to disappear, revealing truth…and the truth will always set you free. This piece is a reminder of that journey that we all come across at some point in our lives…a journey that always comes full circle. A journey that is necessary for growth, leading us to discover a valuable part of ourselves.” - Cutter Cutshaw
"Emma Cownie, Refracted Light, 2013" by Emma Cownie
“This ‘refractionist’ work sees the light broken down into light filled colour segments. The foreground dark reds are juxtaposed against the light-singed orange and lushy leafy greens to suggest a green distant solace from the scorching heat, with the darker blues suggesting a progressively deepened experience of this respite and solace from the sun’s baking rays. Thus we see a transition from scarlety red via the purply blue path through the burnished, charred-edged oranges and fruity greens to the darker recesses of the oil ink blues like a colour spectrum from hot to cool. Again another use of the refractionist motif. Not only are my paintings often refractionist in terms of e.g. light coming through materials as through tree leaves, shedding light ‘stain glass-like’ but in this case symbolising a progression of temperature and the experience of this variation in heat. The rich boiling bloody reds in the foreground also contrast to the purply blue colours of the path. This spreading of light across these different temperature textures also has a ‘lava lamp’ effect’ as if the oily colours slide across the canvas. The path’s purply blues suggests a transition, a comfortable inviting passage to the cooling shade of the far trees. The far ice cool blue contrasts from the initial, foreground liquidly purples, which in their calm serenity suggest relief from the distress of the exasperated, bad tempered heat.” - Emma Cownie
"Czar Catstick, 'Poetry Emotion' - Portrait of John Cooper Clarke, 2013" by Czar Catstick
“I was recently inspired to create this portrait of John Cooper Clarke after seeing him on ‘Have I Got News For You’ a few months ago. Often mis-taken as Ronnie Wood from the Stones, I believe he should be celebrated and known outside his cult following.
John Cooper Clarke was the subject of a BBC Four documentary, ‘Evidently...
John Cooper Clarke’, in May 2012, screened as part of the BBC's ‘Punk Britannia’ season. An English Performance Poet known as the ‘Punk Poet’ or ‘Bard of Salford’, he has toured with Linton Kwesi Johnson and supported such acts as the Sex Pistols, the Fall, Joy Division, the Buzzcocks, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Elvis Costello, Rockpile and New Order. He was recently re-discovered after The track ‘Evidently Chickentown’ was used for the end titles for the final season closing titles of the ‘Sopranos’.
Created like many of my artworks using my ‘Cut-up’ technique - sort of ‘sampling’ images in the same way that music might be sampled...or the ‘cut-up’ writing technique used by Bowie or William S. Burroughs. The final artwork is always completely unique being made from hundreds of images with eyes, mouths noses and hair all from different sources. The composition is then artworked, hand-painted and often digitally enhanced or treated using paint splashes and digital displacement effects. I am still experimenting with this technique. The artwork is created in several stages and often left and revisited later until I am finally happy with the end result.
This Portrait is part of my British Icons series including Bowie and Vivienne Westwood.” - Czar Catstick

"Filippo Minelli, Shape 9, 2013" by Filippo Minelli
“During my research of landscapes to give silence a physical shape I started hiking a lot on the Alps between the Swiss/Italian border. The walk was difficult because it had snowed for days and days but in the forest I found this place where the trees were arranged as if they made the stage of a theater.
It takes some time to burn the whole smokebomb and usually the wind moves the color away destroying the composition but that day everything looked frozen and just after the smokebomb finished I was able to capture that shape floating in the air. It stayed there for few minutes changing shape form time to time, a surreal experience.” - Filippo Minelli
"Suzette Datema, The Girl With The Mona Lisa Smile, 2013" by Suzette Datema
“With my Dutch links I get frequently emails from Holland. I got this photo and it just 'jumped' on me. I knew I had to paint it.
I think The girl is accepting her fate to work on a farm, but she is wishing for a more glamorous life. Sometimes she would just allow herself a fleeting moment to ponder on being a princess.” - Suzetta Datema
