A cross section of MoMa Weekly artists from across the world with original artwork to buy and Instagram accounts to follow…
With such a diverse mix of talented artists working in so many different mediums I’d love if this led to some new connections, Instagram follows and art sales. I’ve already bought a fantastic painting, discovered artists whose work I’m excited about and lined up some new interviews. Thanks to everyone who reached out and hope you all gain some new supporters of your work!
The first half features painters, sculptors and conceptual artists who answered the call to show their work on MoMa while the second half shows Instagram posts from everyone who followed MoMa’s Instagram.
I am an Irish Archaeologist and Visual Artist, specialising in Painting and Drawing. I centre my work around my passion and interest for all things mystical and unknown. Undoubtedly, this fascination was spurred on by the fact that I lived next door to an Iron Age Hill-fort as a child, and thus fostered and cemented a curiosity for all things archaeological, in particular, for all things exclusive to Ireland's Celtic past.
It all comes down to memory: precious and treasured, elusive, lost, inaccurate yet true. I try to capture the essence of an experience, a fugitive and unrepeatable moment that was intensely important.How may the essence, the feeling of a particular moment be expressed and how might it change over time? In an age of instant imagery, my work aims to capture that movement combined with stillness and to reflect an ongoing process of meditation and reflection.
For lockdown I've been collaborating with the birds and wind. I've made a series of drawing machines that record the movements of sparrows and the weather. Use discount code - MoMaSummer to get 30% off any bird and wind drawing.
Let me introduce myself. Born in Kenya while it was still a British Colony, the youngest of a large Punjabi family, I wanted to be an 'artist', essentially a painter from the age of five but my parents felt it was important to train in a profession. So I studied architecture and worked as an architect both in Nairobi and the UK until 2011, when desperation set in and I finally joined Winchester School of Art graduating in 2014. Since then I have been working on my art in my studio at home.My work examines the emotional experiences of being 'Woman' through the female form, face, body and self-imposed societal structures and perceptions. It is essentially about the search for love, that illusive yet fundamental necessity which determines both the mental and physical well-being of any human being, the trials and tribulations of self identity and the changing relationships from a female perspective.
My art is sort of activism against colonialism, slavery, and migration as these are the major causes of the crisis which Africans all over the world face and I am doing this through Afro-futurism which is the reimagining of a future filled with arts, science, and technology seen through a “black” lens.
I have been doing a lot of painting in the lockdown. "Stand Off" is a satirical commentary on world events. It depicts a health worker trying to take a temperature using a laser thermometer gun & a confrontation with an assailant who has Covid and a temperature of 39 degrees. A reflection of violent times.
Although many families have their own personal stories to tell, having been touched by the Coronavirus. I wanted to show the Anguish, frustration and despair of those Doctors and Nurses in our Intensive Care Units. Not only for the shortage of proper PPE, but for their own anguish, despair and compassion for their patients.
