Primary Artist Research

Liverpool Trip 18.10.18

My trip to liverpool was crucial in locating in depth primary artist research, while I was there I visited the Bluecoat, Castle Fine art and Walker Art Gallery noting artists and drawing interpretations of exhibiting works. I attended the Bluecoat gallery to retrieve primary research from the exhibitions: Time moves quickly, land sand strand and the 4th floor exhibition by Ottoknapp in particular while exploring additional work for further visual inspiration.

 

Bluecoat –

Exhibiting: Land Sand Strand by Suki Seokyeong Kang

 

 

 

I visited Kang’s exhbiting works to draw inspiration for my live brief with Northenden. I felt the builds, form and conceptual structures within this installation explore place and similar concepts I am exploring in my work.

Ryan Gander: Time Moves Quckily

 

 

 

It was important to me to see this exhibition for my contextual studies, this is because Gander’s major project responds important concepts centred around artistic activity and self direced play that I feel I can draw from for my creative workshop.

Silke Ottoknapp

 

 

 

 

I wanted to see this exhibition as it displays multiple interesting and relevant aspects to my work, I am intrigued by the mediums, scale and figures. I feel the visuals and story of the panels can inspire both my contextual studies and live brief as they both draw on identity.

Castle Fine Art

Featuring – Bob Dylan

 

 

 

I was pleased to see Dylans work at castle fine art, I intend on adopting similar qualities in the approach of my live brief: exploring place through imagination and character this can be done through colour, lines and perspective.

Billy Connelly

 

 

 

I felt inspired by Connolly’s work, I feel we can almost gain an insight into his mind through his simplistic yet highly detailed drawings. I feel Connollys work can provide me with inspiration around my contextual studies and automatism.

Scarlett Raven

 

 

 

 

I am inspired by Raven’s landscape painting to replicate similar painting styles and approaches in order to develop samples and work corresponding with my live brief and current projects; I will combine similar processes to imagery centred around northendens urban and rural lanscape.
