below:
interview: Wilhelm Vincent. The South
African artist reveals a brand new artwork project ‘Amper’. Wilhelm talks about
his recent illness and how creativity has been fuelled by and through that
illness. He shares thoughts, conclusions, and brand new artwork.
portfolio: Naveena Ganjoo. The Indian fine art painter imbues her work with nostalgia, connection,
myth and magic. Her work is both vibrant and languid, full of colour and
mystery.
interview: Mike Egan. The American painter
relates his work to the subject of death. However, death is not portrayed in
his work as sombre or histrionic, but in a bold, graphic, often humorous style.
Mike gives an insight as to his interests, his working methods, and death
itself.
feature: Jeffrey Gibson. The American
painter and sculptor of Choctaw-Cherokee heritage, successfully combines Native
American art and craft traditions with contemporary fine art understandings.
This feature is written by the writer and broadcaster Raquel Glusman.
interview: 10dence Gallery. 10dence gallery
is an independent artists for artists platform that presents, creates,
explores, nurtures and promotes connectivity between artists. Inspirational
talks at length with the curator of 10dence – Ron Weijers.
portfolio: Zeren Badar. The Turkish born and US based conceptual
artist combines photography, painting, and collage in a visually rich and
unique way. His work is witty and thoughtful, and his combination of materials
is inspired.
interview: Emmanuel Barrouyer. The French
actor, photographer, and collage artist reveals a new photography
project – the Madonna series. These uncluttered, calm portraits of contemporary
women in all their diversity are a structure of complexity through simplicity.
Emmanuel talks to Inspirational about the new series, as well as the larger
context of his artwork.
