‘Wide Awoke’- Are Female Artists Worth Collecting? with Juta Jazz
This time in our latest ‘Wide Awoke’ article Juta Jazz depicts her answer to ‘Are female artists worth collecting?’ in this creative video – take a look… In our ‘Wide Awoke’ section, we initially tackled a thought-provoking discussion at the Tate Museum in London. Recently, an article by Helen Gorrill in The Guardian highlighted concerns that female artists may be facing greater challenges now than they did in the 1990s. Gorrill stated, “Today, when men’s artwork is signed, it goes up in value; conversely, when work by women is signed, it goes down in value. The addition of a woman’s signature can devalue artwork to the extent that female artists…

‘Wide Awoke’- Are Female Artists Worth Collecting? with Juta Jazz This time in our latest ‘Wide Awoke’ article Juta Jazz depicts her answer to ‘Are female artists worth collecting?’ in this creative video – take a look… We have announced our brand-new ‘Women’ section within TheAppWhisperer. We kicked off with our first ‘Talking Points’ with the incredibly talented mobile artist, M. Cecilia Sao Thiago, where she visually channelled the creative argument of ‘what if I wasn’t me?’, envisaging herself as an artist whilst physically being a male, as opposed to female. Catherine Caddigan, another accomplished artist, also contributed with a great ‘Talking Points’ entitled ‘What do we reveal to the…

Through A New Lens: Works from the World-Wide Mobile Photography Movement Exhibition
I am so proud to announce the Perspective Gallery is to present “Through A New Lens”, an exhibition by seven internationally-recognized iPhoneographers. The exhibit, curated by my dear friend and museum professional, art historian and photographer, Gina Costa, demonstrates a broad range of styles and approaches used by mobile technology. Works range from traditional, “straight” photographs, to abstract and highly “apped” works of art. Visitors to the exhibition will observe the incredible span of possibilities mobile technology permits.

Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr/Instagram Group Showcase 3 October 2021
Sadly, I have never attended a Edward Hopper exhibition, there was one in London in 2004, but I couldn’t make it, few shows have reached higher visitor numbers at Tate Modern. Hooper’s draw for me was his unique ability to exquisitely paint urban experiences of loneliness, separation and distance with such clarity and intelligence. One that touches me, perhaps more than others in his work, is entitled Automat. This word in American refers to self-service restaurants, where diners would collect their meals from vending machines, the establishments did not employ waiters or waitresses. Once a customer collected their meal, they would sit with it, generally alone. It makes the absolute…

Mobile Photography & Art Showcase – 11July 2021
I have dedicated my entire life to the pursuit of love and creativity and I spend most of my time encouraging other people to do the same because living a creative life filled with love is the most beautiful life there is. In many ways, the human artistic expression is blessedly, refreshingly, non essential. John Lennon once said about the Beatles, “we were just a band”. Some of the most sublime occasions of my life have been when I have been inspired by the many photographers and artists that I have been lucky enough to surround myself with. The quality of the images submitted to our Flickr Group and Instagram…
