designer loves art... Su Blackwell...149

books always  create new worlds, but what else can they create?

this is Su Blackwell

http://www.sublackwell.co.uk

born in Sheffield UK,  she like any kid growing up near the forest or woods spent allot of time playing in them. although she firstly concentrated in textiles, little by little she has turned to paper for her material of use.  fairy tales are mostly the books she chooses to work with, especially those who have little girls, since she likes the contrast of a fragile little girls in setting that will show their worry and wonder at the same time. her work is delicate and i enjoy her 3-d creations from the book .

designer loves art...Roger van der Weyden...148

it's never too late to start a new calling...

this is Roger van der Weyden

http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/w/weyden/rogier/index.html

born in Tournai,  he had a comfortable childhood, ant its possible that he even got a university degree,  he started his painting career when he was 27, an age a little advanced for his era,. he was inspired by Jan van Eyck, and studied under Campin for a while,. in 1435 he settled in Brussels where he was named the city's painter. but he still traveled to Italy quite a few times where he was welcomed ant its told that he even taught Italian masters oil techniques . his work although mostly religious,  he also worked with some portraits. now a day's though it's difficult to  know what work is his since none of them are signed or painted and are confused or attributed to other artists.

although the group started in Spain its home now is in Berlin. the group consists at the moment of 45 people in a diverse mix of craftsmen, architects, artist, art historians and others. not only are they a studio but they are also investigation a new way to approach art studies at a university level.their projects are usually on a large scale, and from my point of view the play of light, interaction with people, reflections. they have also touched on architecture. i hope we get to see more of them.
