9 New Pieces

There has been a time when art took second place. It hid in the corners of the room, there was no way that the pile of old magazines and books that had been used for previous pieces were to be used again. The call of the act of art was a dying monster that had come to a point where it was silent and unloved. I took time out to see what would happen if there was no outpouring of the talent. I knew that I wanted to see if the eagerness would return to be rekindled to be alive with the same emotion that had been there in the beginning of the need to be an artist, or at least be artistic, it faded like a candle burning out to a thin line of smoke that faded away!

I was lost, 12 months, long depressing months of no work, no art, no need to be creative, except through the art of photography. Then early this year, the need to be, to create to relate to my surroundings, and here I am the maker of works, the person who has come back to be an artist!

Here are 9 pieces from February laid bare.

1. Cause is unknown - £25

Magazine collage about modern life, the rich stars that fade and burn like a bonfire.






















2. Mobility - £35

The distressed pieces are here to be observed, life is all about Mobility once that is gone you are left alone and depressed.





















3. The Ideal City - £30

Not just the Ideal City but the Ideal life, where everything is simple and nothing is a worry but the closing of a chapter.






















4. You Make The Most - £40

That is the slogan on a wall. That is the rally cry, that is the thought in your mind just before you sleep, are you a social chameleon? Do you need to make the most.....?





















5. Shipments - £30

Await the shipments of news, good or bad, happy or sad? There is too much clutter to this world when all is dark within the bright day.























6. Blat - £40

Drink Blat, Friday/Saturday night part-time owl, the weekender is the wonder, the ninth wonder of the twenty-first century and its a fix, not an answer.





















7. Naked - £20

We all need a naked life, one where we are left laughing at our body shape and made to accept who we are and who we should be instead of arguments of cover girls/boys and sadness.






















8. Do Not Open Here - £45

The rubbish of society, the lack of money, the bills, the headaches, the rust of numbness, the mail of departure, here we capture it all blank. threatening, dark afternoons of sleep.

9. Clones, Below

Fashion dictators, the clones of life, the lost of freedom of original thought, the failed artist of misery, the torn and distressed image of lifelessness that dances on a frail night to confuse the masses.

NEW WORK SOON

Hi,

after too many months away, there is new collage work on its way! The new pieces will be uploaded in the next couple of days!

David Sharman

On Safari

Here are three examples of posters that I have designed for three gigs. I hope that you like them.

Photoshop Collage

I have been working up images in Photoshop to do digital collage for a while and I thought that it was time to post them on the blog. I am going to let the images speak for themselves.



















'Promised'



















'Il West'




















'Danger'




















'Rescue'




















'80'

More Digital Art

Girl 5

Started life as a picture of a girl and ends up being an abstract in an impressionistic style












Girl 7

Continuing with the image above sunrays were added for greater effect












Lemonorange

This is another in the Pascal Le Gras image factory








Map of Icecream

I thought that with the colours that ended up in the finished piece that it reminded me of Ice cream when I was a kid, so that is where the title comes from.

Nude1

Another image of a nude girl that has been turned into an abstract.

More soon............

Digital Art

This is a new direction for me and one that has come as a surprise. Being extremely busy in the last couple of months and having no time for collage, I have been working on a laptop and producing digital art. I am not a huge fan of digital art but I am very pleased with the results that I have created so far and so I thought that I would share them with you












Abstract One


I have no idea what the orginal picture was but I love the effect created in Photoshop.

Abstract 6

This reminds me of the work of Pascal Le Gras, who designed many of the Fall's CD covers in the 1990's.

Female 2b

This started life as a picture of a nude lady and was worked into an abstract.

Female2

Another worked piece taken from a photograph of a female.

Four8

Another image worked through many stages in Photoshop

Stained Glass Tomorrows

Sorry that there hasn't been a blog entry in so many months. I have been so busy with my life that I am afraid to say that art has taken a back seat. That is not to say that I have not been producing art when I feel so inclined.













Music Girl - October 07 - For Sale £45
This piece is all about how people on the go have to be listening to their music and they are losing out on the sounds of the city. Ipods are to blame for future deafness on mass!













Slanted and Enchanted - October 07 - For Sale - £45
This piece is all about the way that modern architecture is falling away from traditional shapes in the UK and going for a more Swedish look with the shapes of the roofs and the nature of the over all shape of the buildings.













Stained Glass Tomorrows - October 07 - For Sale - £120
This piece started out as an abstract, but due to the fact that I had a lot of black paint, I decided to make it look like a stained glass window.













Suicide Blonde - October 07 - For Sale - £45
Based on the song by Inxs I saw this model in a porn magazine and decide to make her into a Icon of the twenty-first century. I like the way that she is clearly wearing a wig.













Sunset Apartments - October 07 - For Sale - £200
This continues from the paintings of last year and the year before. I likened it to the sun going down on a hill side full of apartments blocks and I love the colours that are warm and inviting.













Autumn Sunrise - October 07 - For Sale - £50
This is the darker side of life, as summer ends so we have autumn and the darker nights, rain and coldness that leads us into winter.













Fields - September 07 - For Sale - £50
This piece is based on an aerial photograph of farmers fields and it has bright colours that spell out another season of joy, summer.













Glamour Junk - October 07 - For Sale - £40
The glamour model icon of modern advertising is hit with the powerful words of advertising. Bombarding us with the message that is missed completely.













Lucy in the Junk - October 07 - For Sale - £40
Another message of easy pornography in the twenty-first century. How it is used and over used to sell all most everything including sex.













Model Junk - October 07 - For Sale - £40
Another chance to expose the soft-core element of advertising in this easy target of modern advertising. The words get bigger and so do the profits.

Isles in the Sea - August 07 - For Sale - £15.99

OT - September 07 - For Sale - £25.98
