Wang's Winning Formula

Happy February!

Let me introduce Tianyin Wang to you. He comes from an artsy family in Shanghai but now lives in the UK. Wang combines blisteringly real elements with abstract splurges to form wonderful illustrations. He's funny and amusing on one level, but scary and dark on others. His images are pleasant to look at but can haunt you.

Wang has been published in many magazines and been hired for many "art gigs". However, his work can be bought privately as well.

The piece above is called "Tiger" and it's just incredible. The subject is astonishing and seductive. The first look tells you she's to be kept clear of, but then she looks sweet. From then, you're torn as to what she is. Maybe she just is.

Tina's Gift

Tina Mammoser was born in Chicago, moved to Scotland, has worked in Newfoundland, lives in London and takes inspiration from the Dorset coast. Not surprisingly, her diverse and exciting life story rubs off onto each of her paintings. Judging by her website, she is most fond of coastal scenes where the sea, the land and the sky unite to become one, astonishing feature.

I find it incredible that an American artist chooses to live and work here in England. However, Mammoser isn't your normal artist with educational accolades in Human Development, English Literature and Physics.

The work above is my favourite of her British Coastal paintings. I especially love the contrast in boundary - the change between blue and white is so delicate and gradual at the top, but so defined and harsh on the right. The way the blue begins to run green in the bottom right is a stunning way to communicate the violence of the sea. Unfortunately, this piece has sold but there are many more coasts for sale on her website.

I wish the best of luck to Mammoser, she has talent, flair and a passion that, although can easily go unnoticed, is exceptionally powerful on close inspection. Her blog, an charming account, can also be found here.

Thinking Outside of The Box

Zennor Box paints what I dream. Judging by her healthy portfolio, she could wow any art crowd by putting on a tastefully done exhibition. Her works scream that they've escaped from a child's secret and hugely vivid imagination. Box must be a fine and beautiful individual to have bottled up that childhood enthusiasm only to release at a later date.

Her paintings combine colour, animals and fantasy - ingredients that can only be successfully combined by the most creative of artists. It seems that "Zennor Box" was also credited for Aardman's "Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of The Were-Rabbit" - a film with stunning imagery which she helped come to life (the film is a must see by the way!).

If anyone has any art they would like me to see or think that I would be intrigued by (even if it isn't yours!) please email me: deweywinters@googlemail.com

Any submissions will be greatly appreciated!

Peace & Love,
Dewey

Monday Magic

Yvonne Coomber is "inspired by the gentle hills and the singing rainbows of tumbling, spilling, flowers outside her studio which is nestled deeply in the folds of Devon." Just by looking at her website you can sense the incredible passion she has for art. She loves her paintings and it shows. They burst with pride, joy and colour and to look her work is to indulge in artistic ecstasy.

I entitled this blog post "Monday Magic" because her work is nothing short of magical. It would appeal to primary school children who are transfixed by the colours, to the stroppiest of teenagers who are ordered to "still believe and hope" by her artwork and to adults who need a break from the monotony of office life.

Coomber's work verges on genius and I cannot begin to explain the beauty of her creations. To see her website click here. My favourite piece (from the web album" summer") is above.

Peace & Love,
Dewey
