Ilona Stellar - Made in Heaven
I created this image based on the series by Jeff Koons - Made in Heaven you can view the images at the below link however be warned! they are explicithttp://phomul.canalblog.com/archives/koons__jeff/index.html
Gala Dali
The aim in this piece was to as closely as possible replicate the original photograph of Gala I did experiment further with Gala however this shot revealed an eerie an resemblance to Gala that nothing else come close too.Elizabeth Siddal as Beata Beatrix
The photograph for this image was taken at a wishing well in a local chestnut forest . I then altered the image to resemble the colour and painterly quality of the below painting by Dante Rossetti and added in two symbols from the original painting - The dove and poppy, every thing you need to about this patining is summed up here
But in short the painting depicts the artists wife while containing heavy symbolism around the circumstances of her death.
The text that inspired the painting above can be viewed here
Agnes Sorel
I approached Anges slightly differently than the other ladies by aiming to create a 'feel' or sense of what she may have been like. I also incorporated text as a decorative element but also to tell her story. To find out more about the power Agnes had over men read my previous blog dedicated to Mistress Sorrel

ReplyDeleteHi Chris, hope you're been well, lost my inspiration lately and have been all consumed by dance. I am planning on getting back into it full time next year so maybe I better find a way on combining the two!
