Exclusive Interview with Tom Glynn โ€“ Part 4 | As A Man Thinketh

By on • ( 1 Comment )

Tom Glynn is a rare breed: an artist who can move effortlessly between artforms, materials, scales and registers, equally adept at making miniature paintings andย  monumental sculptures. And yet all of his work is unmistakably English in mood.ย  His images are populated by the countryโ€™s Neolithic monuments and pastoral landscapes, and informed by the many artists who inhabited those places before him.ย  Glynn is driven by the same Romantic spirit that motivated Palmer and Turner, Nashย  and Piper, Wallis, Lanyon and Hockney, but his art is never anything but his own. Itย  is, after all, underpinned by an urge that has coursed through his veins since he firstย stepped foot in a sandpit.ย

JDL Unveils 40-Metre Mural ‘Icarus’ in Rome to Raise Awareness for Environment

By on • ( 1 Comment )

Judith de Leeuw (JDL) – a well-known Dutch street artist who’s art appeared all over the world – has unveiled her imposing new 40-metre mural entitled “Icarus”, created for the Street Art for Rights Forum Festival on the north-east wall of the Corviale building in Rome, the famous “Serpentone”, one of the “most symbolic” walls in the capital.ย 

This new masterpiece – on one of the city’s largest walls – bears a reference to the myth of Icarus. Icarus is the man who, heedless of his own limitations, flew too close to the sun with wax wings and fell into the sea. A metaphor for a profit-blinded society that is heading for self-destruction, aiming to have the most today, heedless of the future.ย
