David Gill: Wit, irony and Barnaby Barford.

 

No Regrets, Old Man.

   Shit Daddy's going to kill me.

 

Come te no c'e nessuno

 Come on you lightweight, Down it!

I've seen today a photographer who I used to assist a couple of years ago at David Gill Galleries in London, which made me think of the artists and designers they used to represent. These are some pieces by Barnaby Barford. As you can see, Barford works with traditional ceramic figurines and transforms them to set a new narrative, a story. What I love about his work, that it is full of wit, irony and satire. My favorite components of any piece of art or design.. Pay attention to the titles of the works!

Erwin Olaf Photography

Here is some of the latest work of one of my favorite photographers, Erwin Olaf. What I love in his work is that it is completely surreal, yet the so real at the same time that you feel you could even touch it.

Amie Dicke: Another amazing artist.

This is another artist I admire. Amie Dicke started cutting away fashion posters when she was on a residency in New York. ‘I started to project my loneliness on the city where the most familiar faces were those of the supermodels on the buildings and in the magazines,' she has said. Dicke turns the familiar images of advertising into something rare and strange, revealing the dark, gothic structures that lie beneath their surface. Images intended to project desirability, are exposed as empty and hollow. The models appear as phantoms, the flow of forms echoing tears as they cascade down the body.

Browns and Beatrice Boyle collaboration.

D&AD Student Awards: Yellow Pencil Winner

Here you can see my very recent and only award: I won a yellow pencil in the D&AD Environmental Design category in 2009. The brief was to design an indoor/outdoor space to be placed within areas of shopping facilities. I proposed a series of lounges dedicated to men, based on the seven sins. Here you can see the design for a barbers and virtual game area: The Pride Lounge.
