Here is a shot from a recent photo-shoot I did with Chloe Lyons. Chloe made all the textiles for her graduate show in NCAD.
I’ve had this idea for a while. The work revolves around iconic landmarks which were removed, built or destroyed in controversial circumstances. The voids being marked in these found photographs by obscuring the structures. The buildings above are the Twin Towers, Saddam Hussein’s statue, the Berlin Wall and Nelson’s Pillar. Anybody know any other buildings?
Peregrine Honig’s ‘The Twin Fawns’
Just finished watching ‘Next Great Artist’ series one, for which the aforementioned artist was robbed the title (my opinion). Peregrine’s final show conveyed a carnival theme primarily through the use of wax, drawing and photography. The piece pictured above is a photograph commissioned by Peregrine. The image is stunning and consists of twin Fawns that after their death have been paradoxically brought back to life through taxidermy.
The Other Room @ The Copper House Gallery
I’m very happy to say that you can now view my work on the Copper House Gallery website, and if you are feeling brave enough you can even buy one. I feel honoured to part of a selection that includes Anthony Haughney, Sean Hillen, Barry McCall, Phil McDarby and my friends Ciuin Tracey and Darek Fortas. The website also includes the work of some excellent illustrators like Steve Simpson, Eoin Coveney and Peter Donnelly. In fact, everyone on this website is fantastic - please check it out!
Geert Goiris - “Witeout”
Goiris’ series seems to be inrelation to the landscape and its interaction with snow. The changes made by this common winter product is quite fantastical in its depictions.
Simon Harsent “Into the abyss’
For some reason I always find myself in awe of under water portraits. This series by Simon is so expressive and ex hauls a rigid sexualisation of the female character depicted.
My name is Chris, I am 19, and photographer living in New York! (Buffalo). I shoot a lot of different things but mostly black and white, landscape as well as some conceptual ideas. I shoot both digital and film. Hope you enjoy!
I got featured on the mull it over blog
JONATHAN CHERRY: What got you started with photography?
NOEL NOBLETT: Admittedly I fell into the photographic world whilst making an art portfolio for college. My art teacher suggested photography as a route, after looking at some of my photographs. I had never thought of it as a career before then, although I do remember being fascinated by cameras at a very young age.
JC: Any emerging artists inspiring you at the moment?
NN: Robert Ellis, Christine Redmond, Patrick Kelly and Ciara O’Halloran.
JC: Whats your current project all about?
NN: At the moment I am working on a project revolving around the id photograph, in relation to my own family and common characteristics between us. It’s still in the early stages so the concept is still being thought out. The idea however came from the research of my family tree.
JC: Where are you currently living and how is it shaping you?
NN: Currently I am situated in Co. Kildare in Ireland. All we are greeted with on a daily basis is the recession. It was Ireland’s economic instability which shaped my previous project This Desolate Land.
JC: One piece of advice to recent photography graduates?
NN: Milk the work you produced for your final year, as after you leave your motivation and time becomes a big issue in the creating of new work.
JC: Any big plans for 2012?
NN: A well deserved holiday in South Africa is on the cards. Career wise I am currently studying for an MA in Creative Digital Media, so thats taking precedence in 2012.
JC: Favourite tree?
NN: Family tree
Came across Bech’s work whilst going through my still life phase the other day. Bech’s images are perfectionate, a great quality to have. The images make Bech come across as a Germaphobe in regards to photography. His series contest the everyday, in their representation of denotable scenes, which seem too perfect to be real. He seems to avoid portraiture something that only appears sparingly in his work.
Wai Lin Tse (from the series ‘Sundtorp’)
I fin myself being more and more attracted to still life imagery of late, my Pinterest having its own board for such imagery. Hence the need was felt to blog about Lin Tse’s work. His series features nothing but similar room landscapes, all of which connote kitsch or by gone trends. The works almost act as portrait descriptors, as they give us un-constructed sightings into these peoples’ properties.
