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.

Artist Review: Joan Miró

Joan Miró was a painter, sculptor and printmaker.
He was born on April 20th, 1893, Barcelona (Spain) and died on December 25th 1983, in Palma de Mallorca (Spain). He attended Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi in the Spanish capital and the Gali Academy. In 1919, after completing his studies, he was in Paris when he met Pablo Picasso and came into contact with the modernist trends such as Fauvism and Dadaism.
His first painting was made in 1917 and was named Prades, the Village. During his life, he created 44 works being the last in 1978, five years before his death.

In the creation of his works, he had the influence of Pablo Picasso, André Breton, Jean Arp, André Masson, Hieronymus Bosh, Tristan Tzara and Modest Urgell i Inglada.




Artist Review: Romero Britto

Hey, everyone! I'm going to tell you about my favourite artist, Romero Britto.


Romero was born on October 6th 1963. He is a Brazilian Neo-pop artist, painter, serigrapher and sculptor. In his work, he uses a lot of vibrant colours and bold patterns as a visual expression of hope and happiness. He combines elements of cubism, pop art and graffiti painting.


Here's some of his art:
Here's a well-known painting and my favourite
Britto with Dilma Rousseff, the President of Brazil, who he says has inspired him.

Artist Review: Johanna the Mad



Johanna
(this was the best I could do and it was
 REALLY hard to find...)
Hey, everyone! I'm going to tell you a little bit about my favourite artist, Johanna the Mad - this name is inspired in Joanna of Castile, also known as Joanna the Mad, who is one of Johanna's favourite heroines in history, and, since their names are so similar, she decided to pick it. She's twenty years old, she was born on July 5th, and she's from Mexico. She's studying animation. She posts her art on Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter. She mostly draws fan art of animes and other shows, and, yes, that's how I found her. She quickly became my favourite artist, I absolutely love her art style.





Here's some of her art:
Sanji (One Piece)
Marco & Jean (from Shingeki no Kyojin)
Roronoa Zoro (One Piece)
Elsa (Frozen)
So, if you want to check out her art, here are the links:

And her online shops:


Johanna is a HUGE inspiration for me and I use her drawings as a reference almost every time I draw. I dream of becoming as amazingly talented as she is one day. ^-^
Before you go,
here's Levi and baby Eren (Shingeki no Kyojin),
because this is really cute
That's all, have a nice day! :3
