Maggie Taylor: Digital Compositions

September 4, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Maggie Taylor has a BA  in philosophy from Yale University and an MFA  in photography from the University of Florida.

In 1996, after more than ten years as a still-life photographer, Taylor began creating her images digitally. Using flatbed scanners and Adobe Photoshop, Taylor creates unique digital collages that “transport viewers to dreamlike worlds inhabited by everyday objects.” Primarily a fine artist, Taylor also spends some of her time creating cover images for books and music CDs. Her commercial clients include Warner Brothers Music and Penguin Publishing. Her images also appear in the intro to the television show “Ghost Whisperer”.

“Taylor’s images transport viewers to what she describes as “dreamlike worlds inhabited by everyday objects.”  The objects that she includes in her works are those “that have wear and tear, a past, a story to tell.”  Any one of her images may be made of 60 or more separate layers that together have a cohesive look, like a watercolour or drawing.  And the stories they tell are a combination of history, imagination, and literary allusions. Many of the found objects she uses are old, such as photographs from the 19th century. Sometimes there are bits and pieces from the news along with allusions to art history, photographic history and philosophy.  “but the most important aspect to the narratives is that they are open to the viewer’s interpretation,” Taylor says. (Preston Contemporary Art)

Taylor’s work is featured in “Adobe Photoshop Master Class: Maggie Taylor’s Landscape of Dreams”, “Solutions Beginning with A” , and “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll . Her images are in numerous public and private collections including Princeton University Art Museum, The Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and The Museum of Photography, Seoul.  She currently lives in Gainesville, Florida.

Ann Marshall: Mixed Media

July 3, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

Ann Marshall grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and earned her BFA from School of Visual Arts in New York City. She has worked in a gallery, illustrated an award winning children’s book on the Holocaust, and traveled nationally and internationally as an ethnographer and consumer anthropologist . Her fine art work has been exhibited in New York City’s Gallery at Lincoln Center. She now works as a portrait and fine artist.

Marshall’s work combines traditional painting and drawing and paper collage.  All of her figure work is done by hand, using either oil paint or pastel. The collage work is similarly low tech, constructed with scissors and an ever changing array of non-toxic glues.

Marshall is currently exibiting in the group show “New Faces of Realism” at Arcadia Fine Arts in New York City. The show runs through July 10, 2011.

June 28, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

Originally from Arkansas, Ryan Ketchum is a self-taught artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.  His paintings, which are produced through a process of sketching, repainting, covering, and taping, are precisely delineated landscapes inhabited by postmodern Byzantine icons.

Valentina Brostean: Mixed Media

June 5, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

Born in 1983 in Novi Sad, Serbia,  Valentina Brostean has a BFA (graphic design and illustration)  and an MFA (painting, digital painting, illustration) from the Academy of Arts Novi Sad.

“I have always had an eye for the strange beauty in the grotesqueries of life; this appreciation is now very evident in work that I am making. Inspired by the relationship between dreams, natural world and the emptiness of consumer culture, between safe childhood playing to everyday marks of reality I bring and create a new type of creatures in my imaginary world. It is a whole range of characters from the ones in darker corners of the streets of soulless cities to the safe and pure creatures from imagination in my wonderland trying through them to prove that I have never grown up, or at least have never lost touch with my innocent childhood self.”

To see more of Brostean’s work, check out her galleries on Behance.

Alexander Korzer-Robinson: Altered Books

May 29, 2011 By Wendy Campbell


New work from Bristol, UK cut book artist Alexander Korzer-Robinson. With a background in psychology, Korzer-Robinson focuses on the notion of the “inner landscape”.  Using discarded materials, his objects are “an invitation to the viewer to engage her/his own inner life in order to assign meaning to the artwork.”

Korzer-Robinson’s process involves working through each book, page by page, cutting around some of the illustrations while removing others. The images seen in the finished work, are left standing in the place where they would appear in the complete book. As a final step the book is sealed around the cut, and can no longer be opened.

To see more, and for exhibition information visit AlexanderKorzerRobinson.co.uk.
