SPOTLIGHT: Andrew Buurman

A couple of weeks ago I listened to Andrew Buurman talk about his work.  He is a very down to earth chap.  I enjoyed his presentation.  He has a good sense of humor.  He gave us all a little badge with this image on.  Its from a body of work …

Art by its nature is about the significant. To the extent that art is an expression of the artist’s being, it expresses what the artist thinks and feels to be significant. To the extent that art is an act of communication, it is a statement to an audience of what the artist thinks and feels to be important. When an artist decides to devote a week, a month, or a year or more of his life to creating this rather than that–he is saying that This is worth his time and effort. When the artist presents the results of his …

Oren Lavie likes to create dreamy visuals from realistic elements.  He enjoys squeezing big words into small spaces.  He was born in Tel-Aviv, Israel.  This is a song he wrote called ‘Her Morning Elegance’. There are roughly 3225 still photos for the entire video which was shot by photographer Eyal Landesman in his studio in Tel-Aviv.  Husband and wife duo Yuval and Merav Nathan also worked on the animation and co-directed with Lavie as this was his first venture into the moving pictures. Dreaming is fun. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
