ROOMS ART UNCOVERED

Here is a couple pics of the cover and feature published in Rooms Art Uncovered #4. I received my copy of the magazine a while back but I've been so busy lately I'm just getting around to posting it (this also explains the lack of new art posts as well.....). Print copies and a downloadable .pdf are available from the Rooms site. Print copies are also available in bookshops in various cities in the UK, continental Europe, and Asia, check the stockist list on the Rooms site.

Thanks again to Eva, Anna and Adan at Rooms!

UNCOVERED

This is a piece I created for the cover of the upcoming issue of Rooms Art Uncovered Magazine. Rooms is a London based quarterly art magazine that offer their publication in both print and as a downloadable .pdf. Each issue is full of an eclectic mix of art and is worth checking out.

The theme of this piece was inspired by the concept of the magazine: "rooms is dedicated to all those spaces which are filled with ideas, emotions and creativity, and our mission is to uncover all these artist's dens and bring to light as much art as possible".

I pushed this statement through the "EK Filter" and came up this piece that features a cosmonaut, the motif for the artist, creative force in this work, emerging from a capsule or room. He is surrounded by other capsules that are also filled with individuals, ideas, and emotions but at the moment he is the only one brave enough (or foolish enough), to expose himself to the outside world. In the inset panel on the left the close up of his face gives us the impression that he isn't quite sure of himself, but because he is driven by passion, he carries on.

In addition to the cover I'll have some work featured on the inside of the issue along with an interview. I'll post again when I get the details.
