Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Joyce Harkin from the United Kingdom
Today, we are publishing our twenty seventh visual interview, this time with Joyce Harkin from the United Kingdom. Harkin’s art is an amalgamation of dichotomies: inside/outside, public/private, high/low – all dynamic. Her images speak eloquently to us about our own life experiences at the same depicting her own. One of Harkin’s most admirable qualities as an artist, is her hunger for inspiration and this is reflected in her varied work. When embarking on a new creation, Harkin reaches the summit, she uniquely manages to not only arrive with an aesthetically pleasing visual image but one which ensures all the elements involved are included as intended. I am so excited about…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Alon Goldsmith from the United States
Today, we are publishing our twenty sixth visual interview, this time with Alon Goldsmith from the United States. Goldsmith has created his own trademark style, as a pioneering mobile colour photographer. Goldsmith’s images are representative of european Harry Gruyaert’s (b.1941), when he courted Kodachrome while simultaneously exploding into the art scene which earned him entry into the hallowed Magnum photo agency in 1982. Goldsmith’s approach, much like American photographers William Eggleston and Stephen Shore, who were already taking advantage of colour potential and with which Gruyaert alined himself, have always been full of received wisdom. Each image of Goldsmith’s offers shades of colour, drawing in the viewer, he captures the prosaic moments of…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Jenny Pieters from Johannesburg, South Africa
Today, we are publishing our twenty fifth visual interview, this time with Jenny Pieters from South Africa. Pieters art strikes me as bursting with emotional depth and context. There’s a tenderness within her way of seeing, mixed with hope and despair but more so with light. With an evocation of time and place, her images imbue a deep sense interconnecting with us all, deeply. Her work is about honesty and trust with immense integrity and deserving of our unmitigated respect. (foreword by Joanne Carter) I am so excited about this new Interview section within TheAppWhisperer. A picture speaks a thousand words, so says the English language idiom and as this…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Alexis Rotella from the United States
Today, we are publishing our twenty fourth visual interview, this time with Alexis Rotella from the United States. Like all good art, Rotella’s work is definitely ambiguous but effervescent with pregnant incident. It reaches us on a metaphorical peripheral perspective, toying with our senses as we gather the context from the sides, to decipher our response. There’s earnestness aplenty, with the depth of emotion atmospheric in its elemental vista. Rotella is a talented artist, producing some of the most vibrant and vivacious explorations of mobile art at this time with the ability to emotionally engage. The viewer almost senses the conspiratorially whispers in their ears… I am so excited about this new…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Meri Walker from the United States
Today, we are publishing our twenty third visual interview, this time with Meri Walker from the United States. Walker’s photographs work together in this visual interview to offer a deeply personal look at her life through the lens of mobile photography. As you travel through the interview, every image invokes a sense of brooding anticipation. Piece by piece each photograph conjures up a mystery, exposing the ominous in the innoxious and revealing how seductive it can be. Fears and fantasies embroiled with the allure of terror and excitement, climaxing in a recognisable and relatable visual study, one depicting a reflection of influence to the viewer. This interview embodies the quest for personal…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Joshua Sariñana from the United States
Today, we are publishing our twenty second visual interview, this time with Joshua Sariñana from the United States. Little does he know (until now), Sariñana is an artist that stimulates me in all the best ways, he is also a neuroscientist from Harvard Medical School. When viewing his work, I like to feel that I am understanding on a deeper level – (disclosure: I studied developmental disorders at University level, so I like to think I have some wisdom…). Neuroscientists have known for many years that humans have an extraordinary ability to encode pictures. We store the ‘essence’ of an image, not just the subject but other specific values. It’s not until you…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Jerry Jobe from the United States
Today, we are publishing our twenty first visual interview, this time with Jerry Jobe from the United States. Jobe creates a compelling and abstract utopia in this series of works for our visualisation interview. Rich in colour, the images are sensuous, drawing us into the illusion of abstraction. Each image collides and rhymes in intensity as they shout out his answers. Fragments of his own body, appear with full force and meaning. The overall effect is actually a fully achieved work in which the forms of images, meld and interlace into an exotic whole. I am so excited about this new Interview section within TheAppWhisperer. A picture speaks a thousand…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Bonobo Stone from Canada
Today, we are publishing our twentieth visual interview, this time with Bonobo Stone from Canada. There’s almost an obsessional chemistry in Stone’s art, romanticised mythical beings plunged into epic confrontations and transformations with full force. There’s a through-line of emotion in his work, gravitating towards the light with an illusion delivering a narrative of the vapidity of our current consumerist excess and the path towards redemption. We asked him about his goals in mobile art and he explained “One of my goals as an artist is to create images that transcend labels. My idea is to leave a viewer wondering. I do not want them to be absolutely sure about that what they…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Christine Mignon from Vienna, Austria
Today, we are publishing our nineteenth visual interview, this time with Christine Mignon from Vienna, Austria. Mignon absorbs not just the streets but humans in nature too, alchemizing them into mesmerising and intricately constructed mobile images. As a photographer she nudges mobile photography to its limits, as an artist she is uncannily commanding. Mignon’s images lie within the genres of street and landscape and nature and within each it is the human element that leads. I sense it and also having met her in London, I feel intuitively that’s what she seeks. Many of her street scenes are romanticised, and that’s no bad thing. Streets are hard and hardness is often seen on…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Clint Cline from the USA
Today, we are publishing our eighteenth visual interview, this time with Clint Cline from the USA. Cline employs a technique within his painting that embodies religion, storytelling and abstract art. His paintings are powerful, mysterious amalgams of landscapes and unique craggy forms that elicit abstract shapes, symmetrically balancing powerful colour tones. Viewed in epic proportions, Cline’s work evokes an awesome grandness of nature. The imagery employed has the simplicity of a Shaker chair but the discipline, calmness and originality that radiates from his paintings, makes for the envy of many an artist. I am so excited about this new Interview section within TheAppWhisperer. A picture speaks a thousand words, so says…
