Can't fight the moonlight: Pathways and Contexts report for Paul

Introduction

During the duration of my report I will be discussing seven different up and coming artists and designers in the three different categories I have chosen to independently research and convey their means of expression in the fields of art pathways I will be choosing to follow.

I will be discussing their exhibitions, approaches to mediums, application, style and concept.

The 3 categories are ‘Printmaking and Painting’, ‘Visual Communication’ and ‘Sculpture’.

In painting and printmaking I will be discussing and evaluating the works of Gabriella Trzebinski, Colin Park and Nicola Slattery, their individual styles, the interesting themes they portray and techniques they use.

In visual communication, I will be looking at the work of American based design company ‘Moonish’ and English based designer Carmen Roome . I find their work unique and inspiring.

For Sculpture I will be reporting on the work of John Brown which is based on the human figure and Environmental Sculptor Andy Goldsworthy who uses natural mediums to create beautiful organic formations.

I have chosen to discuss these particular artists as I feel the way they approach their work reflects my personal interest in these chosen fields.

One of the pathways the artists have in common is a natural ability to convey social, environmental, practical or spiritual issues through their work.

I have always enjoyed looking at creating simple and organic form and shape, so this essay has been an interesting journey for me to explore the world and art of these people.
