Manchester Art Gallery
I got some really good ideas from the gallery, especially the newer exhibits. I like the patterns that have been cut out from paper they look really effective. I also really like the black silhouette paintings on the plain white wall. They have give me ideas on how to furthur develop the sunsets I have been painting for my museum project.
Revisted Manchester art gallery, to take photos of paintings with skies. I got some really good pictures to work from. I just need to upload them and print them out.

Fine Art Contextual Research
Nadir Afonso
I really like Afonso's style and use of colour. I think its really clever how he mixed abstract work with landscape paintings.
Rita Ackermann
Ackermann's work is really interesting to look at as each of her paintings give the viewer a story, rather than just a piece of artwork.
Mino Argento
Jo Baer
Baer's work appears very simple, which makes it look easy. Personally I don't consider her work particularly artistic as it doesn't seem to have much to it. What I do find interesting though, is why other people appreciate it so much, and spend lots of money on it. I don't understand.
Zdzislaw Beksinski
Although they're fairly gothic, I really like these paintings. The detail in them is amazing, they look like they've literally been constructed out of bones and veins.
Ashley Bickerton
I absolutely love these. They are so colourful but strangely realistic. They are really attractive to look at but at the same time a bit creepy looking, which is odd.
Thierry Bisch
Glenn Brown
These paintings are really strange. I like how they are interesting to look at, but really well painted.
Gillian Carnegie
This artists must of really liked bums!
Dan Christensen
I like these abstract paintings, and i think added to other images they would look really creative, but similar to Jo Baer's work, there doesn't seem to be a massive amount of skill.
Chuck Close
Close's technique is really unique and he must have been so patient to paint all them paintings. But I don't particularly like the end result of his work, as clever as it is.
Ian Davenport
These images would look really well as a background to fairly plain pencil drawings.
Tacita Dean
I think shading drawings look really effective when done well, and these are done really well, especially the ship one.
Guy Denning
I really like how well shaded these drawings are, they look so realistic. I also like the idea of experimenting with different surfaces for my work.
Ali Omar Ermes
Bernd Fasching
Charles Fazzino
These images are a bit too clustered. I like the idea of them, but I don't really think they work as a piece.
Helen Frankenhaler
I really don't understand the appeal of this kind of art. It takes very little skill and there is no depth to it what so ever.
H.R. Giger
I really like this work because it looks so complex, and is quite scary to look at, like the alien films.
Cleve Gray
Gray's work, is quite unusual it looks fun to touch.
Karl Hagedorn
Keith Haring
Gottfried Helnwein
Hugo Heyrman
I find these images very sophisticated, there isn't a strong focal point within them it all sort of blends together.
