Our Chosen Instrument - #14 - Luke Brabants

Luke Brabants is an artist 

based in the South East of England 

in the depths of East Sussex. 

His rural roots are often reflected

in his art work.

Luke includes Benji Davies as well as the work of graffiti artists including 

Smug1, Etam Cru, Dank, and his friends including

 Morgan Davy and Atom as his inspirations. 

He also finds inspiration from Norman Rockwell. 

His styles often change as do his inspirations

but he thinks that his work at the moment reflects his

mural and street art background. 

He has been painting professionally for 12 years

and although finances have constrained his career, 

he wouldn't change it for the world. 

He feels that he is getting a greater reputation 

as time goes by and with clients such as Hilton, RedBull and Samsung. 

One would agree with that. 

Luke is currently working on some personal projects including

the writing and illustrating of his first picture book, 

 George Finds A New Home.

He also runs an outdoor art centre for people

to try their hand at spray painting

as well as other outdoor art.

He can be contacted through his website, Facebook and Twitter.

Exquisite Corpse Panel 7

Kerry Bennett, in preparation for her exhibition that opens on Wednesday at The Ridge Club at Hastings Court in Hastings (East Sussex), has completed her panel for the Exquisite Corpse theme of the Blackwing. 

My inspiration came from looking at all of the drawings before on the panel. The hole in the other images, I chose to change it to a crystal ball to see into the future. The black wings, something other than a bird, the interior of my brain with synapses pulsing came up with the above image and then needing something more human. I came up with the idea of human with the cocoon, and then I felt the need for the odd black feather or two. As if the winged creature had just flown away. So I guess, it bring the past, present and the future all together. 

She followed on from Daniel Newbury's panel. 

Kerry's Art Exhibition starts on the 4th of March 2015

Hastings Court "The Ridge Club" within the Care Home

Viewing from 11 am - 4 pm.
