Brian Aris is a British photographer who began his career as a photojournalist. Initially, he was a front line photographer of the troubles in Northern Ireland, the plight of Palestinian children in Jordan, the civil war in Lebanon, famine in Africa, and the Vietnam War. He then decided to change direction and become a photographer of fashion and glamour models, as well as stars of the music industry for newspapers and magazines. He has photographed Twiggy, Mike Oldfield, Lynsey de Paul, Alvin Stardust, Cliff Richard, David Bowie, Elton John, Debbie Harry, The Clash, The Boomtown Rats, Roxy Music, Duran Duran, and The Police. At Artienda, we are honoured and incredibly excited to show you selected examples of his work that we can provide for you in large, high-quality prints with - of course - fabulous framing options. Have a look at some examples here on his page on our site. They are absolutely stunning and framed correctly can make a well thought out interior spec really sing - literally. Come and check out Brian's work in person and maybe even meet him yourself.
Jonathan Speed is a self-taught artist, specialising in contemporary landscapes and seascapes. His work is inspired by the natural environment and provides a unique interpretation of the dynamic relationship between earth, water and sky. His ability to capture the essence and drama of these elements and their reaction to light captivates the observer. Working in oil, he produces paintings full of atmosphere and a projection of vast open space. His work features landscapes set at dusk with the setting sun and brooding shadows of mountains as well as energetic seascapes of cresting waves.
Inspired by natural forms, and organic structures, Michele Oberdieck explores balance, and asymmetry through shape, surface and colour. Coming from a background of printed textiles, and the two dimensional, she found a new passion in blown glass focusing on colour merging, and surface texture. She became fascinated with the effects created by interweaving her cut patterns on blown glass with light and shadow. Looking at the natural flow of colour in molten glass, she has created her own palette, mirroring the soft organic lines created when one colour bleeds into another with a biomorphic gestural form. At Artienda we are very excited to be working with Michele on this exhibition. For more examples of her work and information about her visit her website here.
