Margaret Preston（Australian, 1875-1963）

here and here

My name is Andrew Denholm and I am from Scotland, currently living in London. I am an illustrator/designer and would love for you guys to show off some of my work. I like to create colourful, pattern filled designs with lots of energy. Drawing from nature but putting my own surreal twist on the subject matter.

Such a beautiful book. Finn Juhl – godfather of Danish design – was not only a great designer but also a gifted artist, a master of watercolors. Here you see his major projects thru his drawings, they are meticulously made, to the last tip of a brush hair. Yes, we have perfect renderings today but this has soul. He sets a shadow and it gets 3D. And last but not least his choice of colors is so sensual and implies nature and feels warm and comfy. The good printing of the book underlines this aspect. If you want to get to know the designer Finn Juhl or if you want to impress somebody who is into design or architecture or if you just love watercolour drawings like me – this is the book you should keep an eye on. “Watercolors by Finn Juhl” by Anne-Louise Sommer.

The Art of Ray Morimura

Ray Morimura is a graduate of Tokyo Gakugei University, where he studied oil painting. Originally his works were geometric-style abstractions. But later he was inspired by Shigeru Hatsuyama and Sumio Kawakami, and began to study woodblock techniques. Unlike most other Japanese woodblock printmakers, he uses oil-based inks to create these detailed images.

His technique is to carve both 6mm thick plywood blocks and 3mm thick blocks laminated with P-tile, a flooring material. The “linocut” process permits quite complex designs, which are printed on mulberry bark kozo paper. Essentially each color requires a separate block, and separate inking. Some blocks are printed with solid colors, while others include bokashi or a gradation of color. Of his work, Morimura says “printing demands total concentration as a single hair or dust can ruin a print. I usually clean my studio thoroughly and wait to begin the printing process until after midnight when it is quiet. With prints one can never be certain of the outcome until the final print is completed. There is always the unexpected, which makes it all the more intriguing. As with Zen and ink paintings, I hope something spiritual, in a contemporary sense, can be expressed in these landscape works.”
