If you have read my post about aspects that I look for when searching for art, you will probably recognize some characteristics in the artists below.

Richard Mosse — The Enclave

Richard Mosse

What I love about Mosse is the fact that he combines the art’s potential to represent narratives so painful that they exist beyond language and photography’s capacity to document specific tragedies.

For example, Mosse uses an outdated military surveillance film to envision the very relevant civil war in eastern Congo. He creates an appalling testimony of a forgotten and complex conflict.

Erik A. Frandsen — Red Brick Contemporary Art Museum, Beijing, China

Erik A. Frandsen

Frandsen has made a range of incredible steal works. He engraves flowers on to steal work and I am completely in love with the pure beauty of these simple yet stunning works of art.

I would love to go into detail with the description of his art, but a picture says more than a thousand words, so instead, I encourage you to check out his webpage for illustrations of his spectacular work.

Ai Weiwei — DROPPING A HAN DYNASTY URN

Ai Weiwei

Weiwei is a contemporary artist, whose works deal with Chinese history in particular and contemporary society.

Weiwei’s formal practice changes in form and the materials deployed according to the diversity of activities his art embraces. His works have been based on a conceptual approach and on either installation or sculpture.

Weiwei believes that all activities should be social — and political. For him, it is important to engage in debates and to exchange experiences, because the fundamental force for change is the individual experience and the notion that through individual action, change is possible.
