Peter uses a comprehensive collection of found papers as his palette which are coloured, patterned or textured by their printed, written or worn surfaces, with this media he ‘paints’ his collages. He shades with density of print and creates substance and movement with lines plucked from old maps or manuscripts. His pieces use mark-making in an innovative and humorous way to create a collection of beasts and clothing which exude character and wit.

Part of an on-going photographic project commissioned by book publishers, PQ Publishing, Equus, features rare and beautiful horses from the four-corners of the globe. From some of the most highly prized Arabians from the Royal Yards of the UAE to the classical beauty of the Lusitano and from pure-bred Icelandic horses in their glacial habitat to 1,000s of Mustangs racing across the plains of Utah. The horses are captured from the air, from the sea, from underwater and from under the ground, and provide an amazing and unique insight into the physical dynamics and spirit of the horse quite different from anything seen before. Tim Flach is a graduate of St. Martins School of Art where he studied Photography & Painted Structures. Having spent the last twenty years as a highly successful advertising photographer (clients include Adidas, Cirque du Soleil, Jaguar and Sony), Tim has more recently been focusing on his own personal work. He has mainly become renown for his highly stylized animal portraits, which are far removed from traditional wildlife photography’s images of animals observed in their natural habitat. With this new project, Tim has turned his creative attention to horses, aiming to capture the emotion that horses evoke in us, rather than to simply take a photograph of a horse. Tim brings his subjects into such close focus that the viewer begins to read the gestures and body language as we would a human being. His photographs evoke pathos, humour and an unmistakably intimate human empathy. Tim’s work has been featured in publications such as Creative Review and Stern Magazine, and he has also received many international photography awards including the Association of Photography and British Design & Art Direction Awards. His work has been widely exhibited in the UK, US and Far East and Tim has also lectured extensively around the world.

I never thought I’d be so crazy about a collection of chicken drawings, but then I saw these painted poultry portraits by St. Louis artist Mary Sprague. Her website features a small gallery representing several decades of work, but it’s the chickens that really grabbed me.

Art, graphic art, design, digital technology, writing, paying dues, sitting and looking into friendly faces and drawing a blank, color, oh yeah, interesting color, color field where I began as a Pollack fan but not of the art so much as of the man and his choices – well right up to the end anyway, then media, art media and running the risk of crossing the line, not sure who put that line there, me, I suppose… tools; pens, pencils, graphite, watercolor, ink, paint, scrappers, airbrush and spray cans and cut out paper and cardboard sheets, air and glitter, rhoplex and the smell of thirty year old liquid plastic, resin and fluorescent bulbs, skylight and slide projectors, video tape rolling, digital scanning, digital painting, architecture and the human form, snow and ice, artifacts of construction, abandoned foundations, archival inks, archival paper and here I am… [more]
