Art News: Favorite Artists


Craigie Horsfield: 

I chose Horsfield's photo-tapestries because they seemed so alive. The images looked like they were coming out of the tapestry and spill out into the room, they draw you in and make you forget that you are in an art gallery and you think for a moment that you're there in that image. I love art that does that to you, and I think it's very powerful.  I can't believe these are made out of fabric, they looks so real.



Nick Cave:

Nick Cave's sound suits I also found particularly fascinating. I love the riotous bursts of color and the complex menagerie of objects that comprise the suits. Whether its the actual design or the idea of wearable sound-making art I like more, it's impossible for me to say. What I do know is how I love that something that seems chaotic and strange is still beautiful, but in an unconventional way.
