John Divola

I have just been looking through lots of work by John Divola, and there is a lot to look through. The website is a bit of an effort but is well worth it... but for a bit of assistance I've picked out some of my favourites:
1970s Zuma Series
1980s Diptychs
1990s Continuity, History Sites
2000 Dogs Chasing My Car in the Desert.

This is one of those instances where unfortunately the original source of a great image gets lost through blogging, if anyone does know who took this please let me know. I found it on The Chocolate Brigade Tumblr (its had 408 notes so far in just 5 hours), and they found it on Community Livejournal... etc etc

In Snow

I'm quite a big fan of photoshop... so thought I would have a bit of fun and put some characters from old films into some of my snow photographs I took a few weeks ago. I find them quite amusing, and particularly like Keaton with his dog at the top.

Jim Kazanjian

Jim Kazanjian, found via Feature Shoot. Read an interview about his incredible work here. Kazanjian says "my images are digitally manipulated assemblages of photographs I scavenge off the internet. I do not shoot any of my own pictures".

Julian Assange

Julian Assange arriving at Westminster Court inside a prison van.

Eliot Lee Hazel

Eliot Lee Hazel, found via Ignant, he has a very impressive set of images on his website.

Alison Carpulla

I really enjoyed looking through Alison Carpulla's Flickr page. She creates a complete fantasy world in her photographs.

Pawel Jaszczuk

I'm sure I have seen Pawel Jaszczuk's work before but have recently been re-introduced to it via Twitter (which I am becoming an increasing fan of), these two photographs are from the series Stay Still and High Fashion and I think they are great. They work really well as a series and are quite fascinating, I'd highly recommend having a good look through his work.

Ilkka Halso

In April this year I posted a photograph by Ilkka Halso but at the time had no idea who's work it was. I only knew that it was a remarkable image and hoped to find out who was behind it in the future. To my delight in this month's British Journal of Photography that very photograph was featured... Halso states his work is "based on a pessimistic vision of what is happening on earth. I am looking into the future and I am not very happy about that. I am considering these pictures more as visual pamphlets than aesthetical images." He definitely achieves this, but in my opinion they are also quite stunning aesthetically as well as being strong statements about the future.

Pandas

I love pandas... and saw this article in the Metro recently which made me laugh to myself quite a lot. It also reminded me of these Japanese Tare pandas which I used to be completely obsessed with when I was younger and found little Gif of one of my favourites.

Nicolas Provost and Gregory Crewdson

Yesterday I went to see Gregory Crewdson's Sanctuary Exhibition at the White Cube, I'd seen these photographs previously on Nowness put together in a short film but I don't think you can really appreciate how amazing they actually are until you see them exhibited.

I also went to see Nicolas Provost who is exhibiting at the Haunch of Venison at the moment and was pretty blown away by his work, I think he is a bit of a genius and particularly liked Long Live The New Flesh, I would try and explain it but it is best to just see it for yourself... or have a good look around his website, his work is marvellous.

Also worth a mention is the Richard Green Gallery where there are six original Briget Riley paintings exhibited, well worth a look. Also the SHOWstudio Shop which I have been meaning to visit for a while was very interesting... I saw Nick Knight there too, very exciting, he's a bit of an inspiration to say the least.

Yayoi Kusama- Gleaming Lights of the Souls

Wowowowow... I have just seen this in this month's Vogue by Yayoi Kusama, apparently it's an installation where "viewers enter a dark mirrored room in which hundreds of LEDs are hung above a pool of water. As the 'glowing' stars are reflected from every surface, the effect is complete discombobulation, as if one is floating in an endless galaxy".

Snow, Football Posts and my Dad

A couple of photographs I took this morning in the snow, it was freezing but well worth it. Have a look at the rest on Flickr

Ei Kaneko

I have just come across these on the blog Art Is Alive by artist Ei Kaneko, you can read an interview with him on the blog post too which is interesting. But I love his surreal drawings, they are pretty awesome.

Numero 10

This is from Numero 10 who are based in Paris, all the work on their website is pretty amazing and they have a very unique style.

Bath

I went on a bit of a photographic mission today, here are a couple from my day, you can see the rest on Flickr
