Idris Khan: http://www.saatchigallery.com/artists/idris_khan.htm

It is hard to avoid the aspect of time when producing what ones sees as o photograph… my images are something that is not a frozen moment, but an image made up of many moments and that is created over time rather than taken.

He is a British artist who is based in London. His works draws from a diverse range of cultural sources such as art, music and history and he creates densely layered imagery. His work is both abstract, figurative and addresses narratives of history, cumulative experience and metaphysical collapse of time into single moments.

I have done an experiment to replicate his work using images from my previous project for A2. I chose a simple image of a chair and layered it 10 times and blended the image as well. It is not as densely packed as Idris Khan’s work however it is what an image of his would look like before completion.

 

Tanja Deman: http://www.tanja-deman.com/

She is a Croatian artist, her work is inspired by her interest in the perception of space, physical and emotional connection to a place and her relationship to nature.

She works by incorporating photography, collage, video and public art to create evocative meditations on urban space and landscape.

I have done an experiment using inspiration from Tanja Deman who photo shops different environments together. My experiment was based on the photos from my personal study on the Jersey Lunatic Asylum. I used a photo of the back of the building and a photo of a single chair.  I did this using layers, blending and the paint tool, i also adjusted the opacity to make it seem like a ghost chair.
