Here at Officedog we stock exclusive cards...prints and designs straight from the art world but at an affordable rate!

AND HERE IS WHAT WE HAVE COMING IN A FEW WEEKS TIME....

We would like to draw to your attention an upcoming British artist 'Su Blackwell', who has not only feature in vogue but has tongues wagging as she is tipped to be the rising star of the global art scene.



Su Blackwell is an artist and art director, having recently worked on advertising campaigns for Volvo, Pilsner Urquell, and Cartier Store, Paris.

Su’s fine-art work was exhibited at the Museum of Art and Design, New York last year, and will be on display at The Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth, West Yorkshire later on this year.

”I often work within the realm of fairy-tales and folk-lore. I began making a series of book-sculpture, cutting-out images from old books to create three-dimensional diorama’s, and displaying them inside wooden boxes”.

”For the cut-out illustrations, I tend to lean towards young-girl characters, placing them in haunting, fragile settings, expressing the vulnerability of childhood, while also conveying a sense of childhood anxiety and wonder. There is a quiet melancholy in the work, depicted in the material used, and choice of subtle colour.”

Paper has been used for communication since its invention; either between humans or in an attempt to communicate with the spirit world. I employ this delicate, accessible medium and use irreversible, destructive processes to reflect on the precariousness of the world we inhabit and the fragility of our life, dreams and ambitions.
