Louis Lander Deacon




 

Louis Lander Deacon is a 19 year old photographer based in London. I like Louis Lander’s works a lot because you can see emotions and any ideas on them.









 For example, the “flying up woman.” It looks like gravity has just gone and she is holding the window to keep from flying away. 
This picture looks like a dream. Maybe the author meant that our dreams are taking us up.


Or take the picture with color and people. I think this picture means to show what’s in the people’s minds.  For me the color means our hidden wishes or dreams. The people in the boring cloth colored into pink, blue and purple. I 
 think that it means that our wishes 
and dreams color our boring lives into interesting, vibrant and bright colors.
 




It is interesting to look at his works and think about their meanings. Write your opinion about these pictures in the comments! Dream big...

Sylvia Ji

Another really good artist is Sylvia Ji. A lot of people know her famous skeleton women. She was born in 1982, a native of San Francisco.
Some of her painting is the symbolic reflections of herself. She currently resides in Southern California.

I like her works because it is interesting to look at the beautiful women with scary “makeup”. I like how she combines beauty and fear. I like the emotions on the women’s faces (horror or evil). For me, the meaning of her works is that having a beautiful or pretty face doesn’t mean that people are beautiful inside.

For example, look at the woman in the national dress with a pretty face and unfriendly eyes. Maybe the signs on her face mean something. Let’s think about it. The broken heart and tears could mean that her boyfriend betrayed her or something and she cried a lot because of it. The spider web could mean that she is like an insect in the web. Trapped.

Ryan Berkley



My second favorite artist is Ryan Berkley. Ryan started drawing animal portraits in April of 2006 for the first Crafty Wonderland art and craft show in Portland.





I like the comparison of people and animals. It is funny to compare the animals and people and to think about reason of choosing animals for the different kinds of people. This is because people and animals have very similar emotions, behavior and looks. I also like the details of Ryan Berkley’s works. For example, the scar on the tiger’s face. It helps me to understand that character better. I think that he is really brave and wise. What can you say about him?
Here you are some links for Ryan Berkley’s profile.

Lora Zombie



I am going to present to you my favourite artist: Lora Zombie. She was born in Russia in 1990. Her first serious works were similar to the works of Jamie Hewlett, the creator of the images for the group Gorillaz. She became popular really fast, and she had exhibitions in the USA, UK and Russia. You can view her work on her Facebook page.




First thing that I like in her works is the ideas. For example, the picture “hero time is gone”. To me the idea of this picture is that all heroes become old and unpopular. Children stop copying them and people begin to forget them.





Another idea that I really like is in the picture of red riding hood with a gun in her hands. This Little Red Riding Hood doesn’t look as helpless as in the story. Even the wolf looks frightened. I think that the idea is that even Red Riding Hood can be dangerous and strong.




I also like her manner of drawing (a lot of different colors, pretty a lot of details...). I like to call this kind of drawing style modern Art, because she is using very current ideas or details (for example: Converse on the Batman). I learned a lot from her works. For example, I started to add dripping paint and to think more about using deeper ideas for my pictures.
