Check out his sculptures! Very cool and very Blanche. The miniatures are either cast, bought somewhere or sculpted as I understand it.

 

[breadhead]

Very very cool. Could spend ages looking at those...

 

[freakinacage]

now that is fookin weird! it does bring blanche to mind. its a shame he doesn't do some pieces that stick to one scale

 

[demonherald]

well that was the quickest I've ever consigned a site to favourites.. insane stuff great find Sven .. although it is gonna cost me a few quid in delayed work tanks to my time t be spent looking through it...

There's been a few threads with some of his sculptures, but I hadn't seen his website and there's plenty of stuff there I hadn't seen. It's very inspirational.

Unfortunatley the crafty beggers got the images embedded in an Adobe format I can't aquire the address from.
However managed to get hold of this 'famous' one.

Wow... he's like an industrial-age Heironymus Bosch. Freaky.

I love the sculpture, but I think I could have done without the pretentious intro paragraph on his opening page "explaining" his work.

I think I could spend hours studying "Opera for the Apocalypse."

That's some weird old stuff!

oh dear, i skipped that, i wish i hadn't read it now

why is he writing about himself in the 3rd person?! god i hate that

 

[Hinton]

Definitely some very cool and inspirational stuff in his gallery.

Artists tend to be a bit different and strange; some more than others.

Could also be a text written by someone else, like an agent or something.

It's written like that because it makes it easy for agents, journalists, gallery owners etc to to cut and paste the resume into publicity material for exhibitions/reviews etc. It's a pretty standard way of composing PR fluff. It does come across as a little pretentious though lol.

a little?!!

 

[Beelzebrush]

Yeah! but it's all part of the artist's PR and necessary to fluff-out the art itself. Pretentious bollocks is what makes the artworld tick. I would imagine that someone paying lots of cash for art to expect a little more than 'I made some stuff about dead guys... what does it all mean? Dunno really.... I just felt like it'... the (psuedo) intellectual fluff is a foil for extracting hard currency from wallets.

I like it, it's part of the game
