Cerise Doucede

Cerise Doucede is a French Photographer. In this series he is photographing what people are daydreaming. “My work shows small daily hallucinations in which everyone can be a protagonist; they are moments when you start to dream, to let yourself go, and for the décor to take flight—the décor represents the character’s illustrated thoughts. It’s a way of representing movement in a still image.”

I choose this artist because because I love how he has everything suspended. I also love how the people in the photos don't really have a reaction to the objects around them just floating there. 

Rebecca Stevenson

Rebecca graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2001.  Her wax sculptures are a sickly decaying look of a simple occasionally cutesy animal or figure.

I chose this because of the simple figures that don't have much color, and while it's beautiful and flowering it also looks malformed.

Tommy Ingberg

Tommy Ingberg lives in Sweden and was born 1980, and is a self taught artist. He work with digital images to make photo montages. His work deals with human nature, feeling and thoughts. I chose this artist because of strong compassion. I love the used of warm black and white tones. Also, I like that this work uses seriousness with a mix of humor. I love the uses of vignette and also use of texture around the corners of the work. The work looks aged, and it look like the artist played that through to the chose of wardrobe.

Katja Novitskova

http://katjanovi.net/

Katja is an artist that lives in Amsterdam.  In an interview she talked about animals being a form of technology, she turned the images into almost sculpture.  She talked about how animals are more complex then anything manmade.  I couldn't find much on her, and her website is difficult to navigate.

I believe the animal photos she uses are images she found and then made large prints of to cut out and stand them up.  I choose her because the animal cutouts are taken out of context without a background or even the animals whole body making them seem to be phasing through the floor and placed in the middle of a cleared space.  I like the giraffe cutout because at first I thought it was an image of the giraffes heads edited into a room, and they really seemed to come through the floor.

MyeongBeom Kim

South Korean artist, went to university of Seoul (Seoul, Korea) for his BFA (Environmental Sculpture) and to the school of art institute of Chicago for his MFA(Sculpture).

I choose this artist because I love the way he combines man made objects with nature. He combines them in ways that make them seem like they belong together.

George Christakis

George Christakis is 25 years old and he was born in Greece, Crete.  He uses digital techniques to create his artwork.  He thinks of his work as somewhat surreal,  conceptual, and "landscapes with a bit of craziness." His work involves painting and photographs.  His biggest inspiration is music.  He makes work for book covers and albums.  

I chose this artist because,  of the peacefulness of their work,  while also having a sense of risk.  The people in his work seem to be isolated from everyone, but also free from everyone.  Showing the person in such a big space, the person is so small in scale,  in the work.  But there present is very strong to me, the person is not afraid to take risks,  and not afraid to be alone.

Rune Guneriussen

Rune Guneriussen is from Norway and went to Surrey Institute of Art & Design in England. His photographs consist of installations he sets up, primarily in nature. "This process involves the object, story, space and most important the time it is made within. It is an approach to the balance between nature and human culture, and all the sublevels of our own excistence."

I choose this artist because he caught my attention with how he choose to show the balance between humans and nature. Instead of showing human waste or humans destroying nature like a lot of others he choose to place man made objects into nature like they belong there and are a part of nature.

Tim Flach was born in London, and studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.  He has done work for National Geographic. 

His portfolio titled More then Human of caught my eye.  It is described as showing the nature and complexity of our relationship with animals.  He says, "What underlines my work in this project, are the questions about how we shape nature and how it shapes us". 
With the Dogs Gods series it is looking into the loyal companionship between human and dog. Equus looks into the spirit and physical form of horses. 

Takaki Watanabe

I could not find any info on this Artist,  he or she has no bio. I chose this artist beacuse of the peacefulness emotion that I get from their photographs. They look very real but also very surreal.  Their uses of relfections gives the photographs a very clean feeling,  showing the beauty of nature.  Also,  I love the limited amount of human esigists.  The artist only uses a few people in their works. I think their work shows how big the world is and how small we appear to the world.  I love that this work is so positive and sunny,  reminds me of happiness.

I choose this artist because I love how he photographed all of the pieces of the cars so that the cars look like they are exploding.

Angela Singer

I chose her because of the way she was pointing out the way that humans have caused animals harm in a simple distractingly beautiful way.
