zdzisław beksiński


it's true beksinski's been on here before. but i'll put him on again. and if i had a teenage child of a certain ilk i'd take advantage of that sale they have on just now and plaster their room with posters!

toshihiko ikeda


i get the feeling if you were to unscrew the top of toshihiko ikeda's head bats and other sundry creatures would fly out. but it's a different world view for sure!

james jean


it's great to come across someone who's just really, really great at drawing. and so it is with james jean. how i envy all those bold and confident lines!

alison van pelt


whether it's painting or photography i do so like a blurry portrait. and i think burroughs would've loved this. me, i have no idea how alison van pelt gets the image - a project for some day soon!

goxwa borg


yes, it's traditional. i don't care. i just like the way goxwa borg lays down her paint. plus, it being malta, she's most likely friends of friends!

gordana brelih


i have far too little quilting on here and looking at gordana brelih i'm reminded again of the massive skill and imagination that goes into one of these

shirin hashat


it's a fact i've got a soft spot for things iranian and shirin neshat is exactly why. lots of strings to her bow but it's her photography i'm looking at lately

bahram hajou


i'm going thru a bit of representative phase so here's bahram hajou. bit canvases, very male in style but i'm loving the narrative character of these figures.

babak kazemi


as with yesterday i love babak kazemi's use of colour in these images but i also like the texture and, in the likes of the above, how he plays with the tropes of an old orientalism

aida muluneh


i chose this image from aida muluneh because it's atypical in that there's more going on in it. i adore her use of colour  - easily the photographer that's most captured my attention in recent times

dennis wojtkiewicz


i'm not going to lie, i thought this was a photograph when first i saw it. and while normally i don't like photo realistic painting (even if do admire the massive skill that goes into them) dennis wojtkiewicz's botanical images really hit the mark for me

eva isaksen


can't go wrong with well put together prints of a morning and eva isaksen fits that bill just right

stephen croeser


i can see why some people might not take to stephen croeser's images. for me though there's times you just need the simplicity of lines and shades, that's not so veru simple at all
