Short update

Journal Entry: Thu May 9, 2013, 12:29 PM
Hello there, how are you doing?

I don't post many personal journals, because I never know what to say and I don't think many of you are interested in reading it. Anyway, here is, as an exception, a short update on a few things. 
Next monday my school exams begin and I devoted the last couple of months to studying. As a result of that, I didn't have a lot of time and energy left for photographing. I built up a pile of raw and unfinished ideas. Many of these ideas involve trying out media other than photography. For example, I'd love to combine traditional art with photography, or collaborate with other people. I'm writing down all the ideas and concepts that are forming in my head, and I'm planning on working a lot of these ideas out in the summer holidays.

Love,
Jan-Pieter

Introducing an artist #10: Sandra Kantanen

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 30, 2013, 12:30 PM
Quoting emptykingdom.com:

"Sandra Kantanen is a photographer based out of Helsinki, Finland who uses a very unique technique to develop her work. Kantanen prints her photographs with similar pigments found in acrylic paints on aluminum plates, then finishing the pieces with varnish. The result is an awesome visual treat turning photography literally into a painting, as she sweeps the wet prints with a brushes to leave visceral brush strokes and paint lines.

Kantanen has exhibited her work internationally from Västerås, Stockholm, Leverkusen, Odense, Oslo, Beijing, and St. Gallen."

Some thoughts

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 25, 2013, 12:00 PM
I've come to realise that art is an incredibly selfish phenomenon. Millions of people use an artistic medium to express a personal thing, and expect others to appreciate and understand it. I am one of those people, but I'm starting to think that sharing the things that I create is useless. I still have a craving for creating photographs, I'm just self-conscious about sharing it.

On the other hand, I still feel like sharing is a part of the progress. I'm trying to give the self-consciousness a place, that way I can move on and keep posting.

Introducing an artist #8: Stewart Edmondson

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 18, 2013, 12:41 PM
Quoting the artist, talking about his creative procress:

"Painting outside is definitely the place for me to be. I simply feel alive out there... up on the moor or down by the sea. The energy of the place is what sparks in me.

Working outside - the painting often has to be fast and dynamic, because of the changing light and weather...but for me that is a key part of the process - allowing something that is beyond my control to come through...or to come from the place into the painting. It can be direct, like rain falling or wind moving the paint. With that unpredictability comes the magic - the alchemy of it..."

Introducing an artist #7: Eugene Cuvelier

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 5, 2013, 12:15 PM
Quoting leegallery.com:

"Eugene Cuvelier was born in Arras, France in 1837. His father, Adalbert Cuvelier, was a well to do merchant and an amateur painter and proficient photographer. Eugene Cuvelier's early artistic education took place at home and in his village of Arras. Adalbert taught him the technical aspects of photography and the two premier painters of Arras-Constant Dutilleux and Xavier Dourlens took him on painting expeditions where his creative individuality would blossom. In 1852 Dutilleux introduced Adalbert to the foremost landscape painter of the time, Camille Corot, and the two quickly became best friends.

Corot, as well as other Barbizon painters such as, Jean-Francois Millet and Theodore Rousseau had a great impact on Eugene Cuvelier. As a young artist he was deeply influenced by these men as can be seen in his photographs. A large amount of his images were made at the Forest of Fontainebleau near Barbizon. This 42,000 acre forest was a haven for Eugene Cuvelier and it is here that he created his soft meditative images of landscapes in the style of Barbizon print makers and painters. Working with paper negatives, printed on both albumen and salted papers, he achieved a painterly effect which is truly reminiscent of the Barbizon style."

"LA-based artist Brooks Shane Salzwedel employs layered resin and mixed media to create a haunting, misty effect in his fantastical landscape pieces. He has applied his work to tin boxes and belt buckles as well, making for truly unique gift items."

Introducing an artist #5: Patrick Gonzales

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 13, 2013, 9:52 AM
Quoting Antonella Leone:

"Gonzales dreams and the unconscious play a major role, the line between real and surreal becomes thin, his shots play with our perception, rationality and emotion in a strict black and white that becomes an expression of the dichotomy of reality.
An artist who does not know the time travelling between heaven, earth and sea where with visionary images recounts moments of existence breaking the chain of logical and consequential, transporting the viewer into a parallel universe in black and white.
His art is a syncretism of styles with an excellent balance of photography, painting and drawing, his images are capable of imparting the charm of the unknowable and represent it through the iconographic symbols and the faces of the characters.
His style is a hybrid between painting and photography, a summary which provides an excellent example of art photography."

Quick message, back from hiatus

Journal Entry: Mon Feb 11, 2013, 10:13 AM
Hello!


I've taken a small break from photographing, mainly because I've been busy with other aspects of photography: exhibitions. This is fairly new to me, so it takes a lot of time. But I'm planning to make new photos soon. I have a bunch of ideas and renewed energy. Can't wait!
