I occasionally find myself spending time on the net trolling for imagery… and no I don’t mean pornography !!! Just…. imagery…
It’s time I probably used to spend reading, but now instead of grabbing a book, I find myself spending time online looking for interesting pictures, graphic design, photographs, digital images and artworks. Every now and then I stumble over an interesting contemporary artist and become an immediate fan…. or see some beautiful photography that makes me want to go out and buy an Elinchrom kit to do some studio work. Mostly I just love how all this is at my fingertips in the middle of my living room. I can vaguely remember a time where we just lived in ignorance when we were curious about something, but now you can just Google away to your hearts content and solve every dinner party dispute within moments…. it’s a great time to be alive!!!
Last night I was flittering about some sites and stumbled onto some works by an amazing Russian artist named Misha Borisoff. He’s got a gorgeously rich and luminescent modern cubist style that appears to be influenced by Renaissance and Flemish artworks c.1500… and somehow it just works! I just found his work really visually appealing… so much so that I’d love to own one….
