adolfo arenas alonso

of all the images i've seen in the last month these by adolfo arenas alonso are the ones i'm taken with the most. i adore their quirkiness but also, as he's from andalucia where i have close friends from, there's a certain something that speaks to where they're from 

miho harano

i wouldn't normally go for images like those of miho hirano but i really like the way she uses blue and the dream like quality of her pictures. beyond that she has nor internet presence so nothing else to tell!

megan mcglynn

sophie rocco

sophie rocco's just about where i'd like to be in terms of representation. and i love her textures

george underwood

i did not know george underwood was a collaborator with david bowie. i just know him from his paintings of women in hats. which are just sublime.

bisa butler

when you read about bisa butler you read about african/brightly coloured fabric. which, to me, just feels a bit racist, a bit misogynistic. what she is, is a textile artist, who describes herself as a storyteller, who breathes life and colour into pictures of long forgotten african americans and in doing so makes her art both contemporary and political, as well as being really accomplished in her craft. that's art for me.
