Art Sponge http://art-sponge.com Inspirational Visual Art Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:12:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Portrait Photography by Géraldine van Wessem http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/artspongerss/~3/MtLKlXYVT4s/ http://art-sponge.com/2012/02/geraldine-van-wessem-2/#comments Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:12:47 +0000 Patrick http://art-sponge.com/?p=4656 Close-up portraits rarely lie. They are honest, full-frontal captures of someone’s face – a rather unforgiving framing of someone’s facial expression or attitude. Géraldine van Wessem predominantly focuses on her models’ faces and captures a great view into the person’s attitude or body language.

A lot of these portraits are plain hilarious, and most of them have a funny eeriness to them.

Anni Leppälä‘s portfolio consists of many interesting projects contrasting many different images. I chose a few throughout her portfolio to show the varying degree of absurdity found in her photography.

Nanna Hänninen is one of those artists and I love what she did on this project.

Yann captures human fragility in every picture – and it’s a nice change to have a few guys in pictures as well. In fact, Yann seems to have a more masculine focused photography since the last time we featured him – while keeping a great consistency in style.

Together these two Montrealers have created a wonderful portfolio – I love the soft natural tones of these photos and the subtly sensual poses by the stunning Aviva Artzy.

And I tend to believe that if you read this blog you work in the creative sector and this is cool with everyone. But then again, I might be wrong, so I’ll throw the question out there:

Does the kind of job you do allow you to scroll through blogs like Art Sponge? or do you have to be all sneaky about it?

I’d be happy to hear about your work experiences – especially since I am in the process of going from student to worker.

In the mean time, let’s enjoy these beautifully delicate photos by Sílvia Trillo Martí.

Yesterday I came home with a neat little publication entitled Framer – a Finland-based magazine focusing on interviews with cutting-edge Finnish artists. Framer is published by FRAME [Finnish Fund for Art Exhange] and produced by Kasino Creative Studio.

Watch out for more regular magazine reviews – most likely of Berlin-based publications (got any suggestions? drop us an email!)

I’m especially a fan of the goth-ish portrait, what a hat!
