Artist Review: Tian Haisu

Tian Haisu 

Hey guys, today I am going to talk about my favourite artist. 

So, her name is Tian Haisu and she is from China. I’m doing this work about her, because I really appreciate her work and she i not very popular so I want her work to be recognized.

    This artist paints amazing traditional Chinese-style black and white landscapes on an epic scale. Her work is stunning and sensational, because the way she paints is impressive: her brushes are her roller-skates therefore a strange method that arises curiosity for her work. Below are some examples of her work in a video where you can see how she does her art:

Odeith

Odeith was born in 1976 in Damaia (Portugal). He held a spray can for the first time in the mid-1980s, but it was in the 1990s, when graffiti began to spread throughout Portugal and started to leave his native Portuguese village, Carcavelos, that this artist had his first contact with graffiti and its movement. His first experiences were sketched on the walls of the streets and railways and so the passion he had always shown about the design had found a new purpose and began to evolve. Shortly after, the opportunity came to paint murals in a large scale in Damaia, Carcavelos, and in many districts of social housing as Cova da Moura, 6 de Maio and Santa Filomena. 
From the beginning, the artist has shown particular interest in perspective and shadows in a dark style, which he later called "3D dark", where the compositions, landscapes or portraits, messages or tributes, stood out for its realism and technique. In 2005, Odeith was internationally recognized for its revolutionary inroads in anamorphic art field, which is distinguished by his compositions created in perspective and painted in different surfaces, such as corners or walls 90º from the ground, creating an optical illusion effect. In 2008, he decided to close his tattoo studio (opened in 1999) and moved to London.

His most recent achievement is a work of art in the Azores to honour Nicolau Breyner and which I consider excellent.
