“Janet Fish (born May 18, 1938) is a contemporary American realist artist. She paints still life paintings, some of light

bouncing off reflective surfaces, such as plastic wrap containing solid objects and empty or partially filled glassware.‖ Wikipedia

―Art and fashion can often go hand in hand,

but what about art, fashion and nature?

Artist Louise Richardson creates pieces that

take viewers on a whimsical journey of

fantasy, mixing natural found objects and

transforming them into garments, which in

turn resemble ethereal artworks.

The artist is versatile in many mediums,

making shoes, clothes, butterflies, books,

fiber art, and paper works to create a

dream-like world with her art. The delicate

pieces have the ability to transform the

viewer back to a child-like imagination, the

artist herself acting as a storyteller. The use of

natural elements such as dandelions, hair,

and shed snake skin can be seen as

reminders of the aesthetic qualities of the

natural world‖ Art & Science Journal

As a student, Keeble began to install and document uncommissioned interventions in public and corporate-owned

spaces, quickly gaining notoriety for her anti-establishment installation of Queen Victoria's Hands.[2] In 2007 Keeble continued her site-specific practice with a parody of Damien Hirst's work For the love of God in which she created a replica of this artwork using a plastic medical model skull with 6522 Swarovski crystals, and left discarded with a pile of rubbish bags outside the White Cube gallery the day after Hirsts' Beyond Belief had closed.[3] It was then exhibited in Lazerides Gallery, Newcastle. Idol Worship (2007) explored the commercialism of branding in the context of a sculptural obituary.[4] Keeble then exhibited in "Trespass Alliance" with the Andipa Gallery, London, with D*Face, Jose Parlour, Parla, Swoon, Slinkachu WK Interact and Charles Krafft. Idol Worship was published in "Urban Interventions", a site-specific focused publication.

―Todd Ford is an American artist painting photorealistic still life with conventional subjects — but arranging them in exotic and highly saturated compositions. And at times that means disfiguring or even destroying the depicted item; such is the case with his series of broken bottles paintings. The sharp naked edges of the glass literally

cut into and slice the space around them, as if taking a blind revenge on their implicit host. The necks, upside-down or turning away from the viewer, as if desecrated, appear as trophies of destruction itself. Yet, the round softness of the intact glass necks and bottoms counterpoises the irregularity of the broken angular lines, implying a literal synthesis: all the pieces, sharp and round, are made of glass.‖ Art&Critique.com

―Cecilia Levy has found a novel use for old books and comics. Instead of throwing them out, the Swedish artist transforms them into beautiful works of paper art. Previously a bookbinder, Levy now takes the opposite approach to literature by tearing it up and pasting the pieces back together again. It may sound sacreligious to book-lovers, but when you take a look at the pictures below I’m sure you’ll agree that her work is in fact a loving testament to literature.

She first began experimenting with 3D paper objects in 2009. Since then she’s created a variety of different objects including cups, saucers, plates and bowls, and she’s always on the lookout for old books to transform so that their stories may continue in a new and unique form.‖

―Hegarty enjoys creating works inspired by monolithic American old time

culture, then irreverently destroying them in which ever manner she sees

fit. Some might say spending hours and days on a piece of work before

ruining it is a touch mental. But I suppose if you prefer the way it looks

after you’ve ―destroyed‖ it, then you haven’t destroyed it at all, it’s just

the last bit of the process before you achieve what you were looking

for.‖ Lazerhorse
