Zinaida Serebriakova was born to a noble and artistic family. For most of her youth, her paintings were optimistic and bold, capturing the beauty of both the Russian landscape and the people who inhabited it. However, the October Revolution in 1917 sent her life into turmoil and she had no income after her husband died. She was eventually commissioned to create a piece of work in Paris and was not permitted to return to the Soviet Union after. She never moved back to the Soviet Union, and her works were not exhibited there until 1966, when they were received with great praise.

All of the following artists have influenced my exam project. These stitched portraits by Bernie Leahey are small expressive snapshots of peoples expressions. She has cropped the faces and focussed on the expression of the eyes and mouth. The faces are full of character, Leahey explores the furrows and lines in the face, using dense free machining stitch to build up the textures. In this image Leahey uses a simpler line to produce a more elegant portrait. The profile of the face is drawn with a single stitched line and loose threads are left falling like strands of hair. Linda Kempsall combines beautifully dyed fabrics in this small cushion. The colours are uneven, giving a richness and interest to the background, while darker stitch and print adds further surface detail. She has sewn her own label, promoting her website, into the piece. All these pieces by Audrey Critchley combine dying, screen printing and machine embrodery. In the Wisley series at the top, she combines the neutral earthy shades with brighter colours of flowers and plants. In all her pieces she has used text within the design. The text is handwritten in all the pieces and adds textures, but is not very easy to read. Her screen prints are all based on her drawings based on photographs that she has taken. Her drawings are careful and precise, which translate well into printed imagery. In the piece based on London landmarks she uses a limited colour pallet of greys, white and black, punctuated with small details in a rusty orange. The text is sometimes white on black and in other places, dark and mid greys are printed on contrasting backgrounds. This detail of the Dinner Party by Judy Chicago shows two of the place settings which are part of her triangular dinner table. The table mats are plain colours, but include hand embroderered names of the person whom the place setting is for. The table place is set with a ceramic piece which resemble female genitalia. The table cloth seen below the mats is printed with the signatures of iconic women. Furoshiki wrapping. Borders and contrasting colours help to give definition and structure to the wrapped objects

About David van der Linden 'Monade Daydream' 100 x 100 cm Oil on canvas Black wooden frame is included: size 115 x 115 cm David van der Linden is a Dutch artist who studied at the ' Classical Academy of Arts' in Groningen. He also went to St Petersburg in Russia to study at the "Imperial Academy of Arts'. There he got overwhelmed by the possibilities to work with color in skin tones. He likes to paint in warm color to show the heat off skin tones in summer light or the cold tones of skin in winter light. He mostly paints young boys during their period of 'becoming a man'. The wondering about their bodies and the bodies of others. Boys can be beautiful and proud, they also can be beautiful and unsure about who they are and what they want to show off themselves. In his paintings David tells a story, his own story portrayed by boys who are on the turning point from childhood to adolescence. The titles of the paintings are titles of David Bowie's songs. For David, Bowie's songs during the period when he himself was the age of the models he now paints were 'daily fare'. The music and lyrics are often about making your own choices, being yourself, being 'different' or shaping yourself the way you want and not the way others would like you. 'Nude' in David's paintings is not only 'a hymn to youth' but also the equivalent of 'being yourself and showing who you are too'. The attitude, gaze and composition in the work together tell the story that the viewer can fill in himself. In addition to the paintings in which the youth plays a role, David paints 'movement'. The racing bike is central to this. It is no coincidence that this is what David prefers to do for some time every day in addition to his work in the gallery and painting. 14 Paintings by David were published in 'Your Daily Male' in 2019 and 2020. An International calendar in which art with men in the leading role is central. Paintings by David are now in collections all over the world. We ship worldwide for free in a custom made wooden box like you can see on the last picture. If there is need for additional information, feel free to contact us.

This totally tubular work of public sculpture is called Aeolus, named after the god of the four winds in Greek mythology. Aeolus is designed to play a sweet sound every time the wind blows, because it's made out of 310 polished steel tubes attached to an arch that helps channel the breeze into nature's melody. Aeolus was made by artist Luke Jerram, who wanted to provide "both acoustic and optical sensations, with the pipes framing, inverting and magnifying the landscape" Aeolus is on display at the Canar...
