Alex Ingram

Being that Alex Ingram is a real good friend of mine, I have had the opportunity to work with him in the past. A numerous amount of his work circles around the use of people to demonstrate the use of contrast as well as other elements seen in modern photography. With regards to the amount of work he has done in order to get into graduate school, he has prepared himself diligently through out the years. One of his main goals were to produce a portfolio that is themed and has a certain focus encompassed in his work.

Words Art And Life

Online Artist #5-Marita Redondo

Marita Redondo's work focuses on the combination of fine art skills with digital art layouts. Her use of her painting skills, coupled with the use of excellent sense of spatial organization, has fostered a unique style that has seldom been seen in previous years of the art world. Her use of complimentary colors added to the overall wellness of the juxtaposition of the piece itself. A lot of her work is centered around nature in general. The way she depicts the world around her using the medium of art is quite extraordinary. The simplicity adds to the overall theme of her work, and that is to encompass the idea that less is more. As you see in the pictures above, the color in her work does not distract the audience from the main theme of the book. It is often the main emphasis that a numerous amount of artists overlook in their own work, that Redondo clearly makes as an integral part of her artwork.

Online Artist #4-Doug and Mike Starn

Doug and Mike Starn's work is very simple, yet profoundly groundbreaking in the sense that it captivates the common audience with simple aesthetics. In their exhibition, titled "Absorption+Transmission" is something that I have not seen in the past. The simple pictures of the branches of trees seen in some of their work exemplifies the element of contrast that is obviously an integral part of the piece itself. The simplicity seen in the pictures posted on their online gallery encompass a lot natural elements, and it seems like nature is a big inspiration for their work. In the Gravity of Life exhibit, they use the unlikely subject of light as the main inspiration to produce some of their work. It is this type of thinking that sets them apart from the rest in terms of using a combination of shadows and light to produce a different perception on how light can be used in the art world. A numerous amount of contemporary artists forget to establish the idea that truly makes them artists, and that is the unique, one of a kind element that sets them apart from the rest. I believe Doug and Mike Starn carry this element in their work and it truly showcases their talent as artists
