Guido Daniele

Today I am sharing the amazing work of Guido Daniele. I do feel like I have blogged about his work before but that was many posts a go. I thought I would check out his work again and see what new creations he has produced. Guido Daniele creates these beautiful animals on human hands. He also does he beautiful painting on peoples entire body. Born in Italy in 1950 he now lives and works in Milan.

The eyes are simply captivating. There is so much detail within each piece. You can hardly tell that it is a hand. I wonder if he has ever had a go on feet? I'm sure the paint brush must give you a tickle! 

His work has caught international interest from across the glove. I think you can easily see why!

'Dirty Pretty Things' Exhibition At The Spa, Bridlington

'Dirty Pretty Things' is a fantastic art exhibition by two university friends! (Who are also both from Yorkshire) The work of Leanne Broadbent and Rhea Sherriff-Hammond is fresh and very enchanting. I found myself and my imagination getting lost within the work and my childlike character coming out! 

Both Mix media artists, I love the similarities and contrasts in their styles of work. It is easy to see why these two artists choose to exhibit together as their work definitely engages and captures your imagination!

As a textiles and surface designer myself I love how both artists combine fabrics within their work. The use of layering of other media's such as oils,pen and ink gives it an added texture which appeals to me. I found myself studying the detail of the textures very closely. Amazing!

The Exhibition is on till the 23rd November, and what's even better its FREE! So an even better reason to go enjoy some art! Go have a look! It's stunning!

What else has been happening!

This is the lovely Jayne painting. Last week we had to paint some very large boards in preparation for the degree show. Paint was flying everywhere! Next week we are putting the show together which is quite scary. I haven't seen my finals for a couple of weeks as they have been hidden and marked by the tutors. I can't wait to start experimenting and arranging them for the show!

I also was abit naughty and treated myself to some new shoes for the show, although I will be taking some flats in my hand bag. I LOVE shoes! These are from topshop and I took full advantage of the 20% student discount. Yes they are high but I love a good platform shoe!

Its Good Friday!

This morning I have been experimenting using my transfer dyes from my sponsor to paint with. I have been painting out one of my designs using them and I am later going to transfer them onto fabric for sampling, I have also had a go using pen on top of the dyes to see what this creates. At the moment I am so busy and I don't know where the last two weeks have gone! Any way, got to go now and get some printer ink as that has run out! Hope everyone has a fab easter weekend!
