This isn't the first time I've showcased the work of Berlin/Kent-based artist Philip Cooper here on the CAA group blog.  His expressionistic collage work was featured here and his use of thumbnails profiled here .   Phil's most recent work, which combines his love of textural surface with his move into model-making, continues his fascination for 'spaces and places' - worlds often infused with tangibly gothic atmospheres.  Phil builds his 'table top villages' quickly and simply, emphasising form and surface over the aesthetic shackles of mimetic realism.  Phil's photographs of these miniature hamlets have a dream-like allure - and these dreams aren't always benign...

The fascinating thing about the relationship between 3D modelling and 3D printing is the latter's ability to give tangible presence to the non-real world frontiers of the former - and here, sinuous, rather menacing architecture is manifested physically from computer-generated algorithms.  The result is part-Giger, part haunted house - a baroque, gothic fantasia!  Digital Grotesque .

'Tis soon the season to be jolly', or for many of our CGAA students, ‘tis soon the season to be very busy indeed’, but take five minutes to get comfy with a glass of eggnog and a mince pie and enjoy this week’s bumper PWTM . 2 weeks ago, CGAA Yr 1 completed Unit 2 Space , which challenged them to create digitally painted concept art imagining literary worlds as dreamed up by the likes of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, H.R. Haggard, Poe and Lovecraft.  The course team were in agreement; the work produced for this unit by CGAA Class of 2011 was the strongest yet.  I was personally delighted with the quality and distinctiveness of much of the work produced, a not-inconsiderable selection of which is showcased below. Fred - The Fall Of The House of Usher Ollie - The Lost World Magda - The Time Machine Tom - She Ernesta - She Nat - The Masque Of The Red Death Otis - A ...
