Chloe Early

I signed up to the Corey Helford newsletter and was pretty intrigued by their forthcoming show featuring Chloe Early. I really love the style of her work with the strong use of paint and colour. She studied in Dublin and has since been exhibiting her work on a world wide basis.

The Glue Society

I saw this image (or one like it) in Creative Review a couple of years ago and it became one of my favourite ideas ever. It was created by The Glue Society based in Sydney and New York and made up of collaborators in various disciplines. The website is very engaging to use and their work is always intriguing and original. They also received a lot of press for their 'satellite google maps' of what some well known biblical scenes might have looked like.

Swoon

New York based artist Swoon specialises in beautiful intrically cut paper pieces which generally depict people she knows, although often fragile her pieces are made even more precious by their short lifespan.

Centrespace Distance Travelled Exhibition

This finishes tomorrow at 4pm and although I haven't seen it myself I have been told this collaborative exhibition is well worth a look.

Takashi Murakami

I really like the work of Takashi Murakami who has been able to take over parts of the Palace of Versailles just outside of Paris. There is quite an interesting juxtaposition between his work and the regal surroundings.

Ron Mueck

I think it was in March when I saw Ron Mueck's exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery. There were only a couple of his pieces including the one above of the spooning couple but I really loved the sense of intimacy and overbearing on this scene which is very small in scale. Mueck started as a prop maker and model maker for TV and film before moving into fine art, his pieces are really worth seeing at their scale to get a full sense of his work.
