Michael Whelan

 

Michael Whelan (born June 29, 1950) is an American artist of imaginative realism.

He's practice engages with some of the most pressing issues of our time. His work investigates behavioral experiences and engages the observer in a dialogue on the impact that the innovations of modernity are having on our planet and the individuals within it. Blurring the boundaries of art and science, his multi media installations composed of photography, sculpture, text and sound help us to engage with questions that can only be asked within the language of art. Communicating with a diverse audience, his work goes beyond traditional exhibition spaces and into public locations, underused sites, socially responsible projects and educational platforms.

Whelan studied Photography and Fine Art at UEL and in 2005 set up his studio in London. He has been the recipient of several internationally recognized awards, including winning the 2017 Photo Masters Award, Fine Art Single category at the NYPH awards, the International Photography Awards, screened work at Cannes Liones, selected for several PX3 Prix de la Photographie awards and the RA Summer show. His work has been exhibited internationally at The Photographers Gallery London, New York Photo Awards, Singapore International Photo Festival, the Magenta Foundation in Toronto, the National Museum of Scotland, Houses of Parliament and St Pauls Cathedral.

Martin Claus, 1880-1956 (at least that's what we think, but it might be not totally correct), german illustrator. We don't know much about his life, we can try to stitch together a timeline of his career from the dates of some of his works

 The earliest example of his illustration is from a 1919 edition of the satirical magazine Meggendorfer Bl ätter, he would have been 31 years old, so it's sure that there are earlier works, but there's no evidence of them. Probably he was employed by the magazine as a staff artist. He had a different range of styles and techniques used all with technical and creative success .

WLOP

  WLOP (real name Wang Ling) is a hobbyist digital artist from China, actually based in Hong Kong; very well-known for her painting process videos, where he reflects detailed stories within the fantasy genre. He is very active in the main social media where he can showcase his art, like YouTube, Devianart, or ArtStation, as well as being active in Patreon. In YouTube, he uses the speedpaint process to show its painting process from beginning to end, with Photoshop as its main content platform. WLOP's art is beautiful and amazing, extraordinarily sensitive and nostalgic. It represents normally female characters in active or emotional scenes, sharing its whole photoshop painting process from beginning to end so its community can learn from him.
