What a great artist to start the new '10 Last Questions' with. Just visited Adam's website - I absolutely love his work.
I've seen some of Adam's work before and I particularly love his second blue painting shown.
Adam Ball is a highly talented artist - one of the greatest artists of recent times I think.
I LOVE his work - his pieces have real impact.
I just wish I could afford to cover my walls in his work.
Definitely a rising star...
These paintings look to me like something you would see hanging on the wall of a dentist's office in the mid-70s. Sorry, that's just how I feel.
I think the 10 questions is such a good idea and you have opened with a nice artist too. I like his website.
Can't wait to see the next profile artist, keep it up, i like reading your blog.
After seeing the website portfolio...
Why are these paintings not silkscreen, and why are the 'works on paper' not laser-cut instead of hand cut? I worry when art that is handmade looks machine made. Makes it seem like the machines are using us rather than the other way around. But then I worry too much about art anyway.
And I like the "White Noise" one.
10 last questions is a great concept and i like Adam's work.
Who will be next?
10 Last questions is a great idea, will it just be for emerging artist or will you guys have established artists as well. It would be great for a Damien Hirst 10 questions. Again, great idea!
COOL BLOG, ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE ABOUT WHATS GOING ON IN DALLAS AND HOW YOU ARE RELATING THE BRIT THING TO THE SCENE HERE.
Love his work....he's cute too
