Mobile Photography Intimate Interview with Kaoru Shintaku from Singapore

15/11/201915/11/2019 by Joanne Carter

Our eighty sixth interview in this series of intimate interviews is with talented photographer and artist Kaoru Shintaku from Singapore. You may know her from her popular Instagram account entitled @patragraphy. Shintaku is Japanese born and grew up in Tokyo but currently she lives in Singapore. This interview is inspiring for many reasons, her imagery which includes florals, cityscapes and landscapes are as precise as her language, as she utilises the use of colour and tone in tandem. Shintaku maintains her sang-froid throughout whilst simultaneously charming us as she hews closely to her thoughts and feelings. Enjoy!

Mobile Photography Intimate Interview with Juta Jazz from Cyprus

07/11/201907/11/2019 by Joanne Carter

Our eighty third interview in this series of intimate interviews is with talented mobile photographer and artist Juta Jazz from Cyprus, originally from Lithuania. When I asked her within this interview ‘what drives you on?‘, she replied ‘Something I can’t reach…‘ – this response touched me because isn’t that essentially what drives us all on? I believe, in many ways, we can all answer this question in the same way but what is it, that we cannot reach? We see life through the lens of our earliest relationships, though we usually don’t realise it. Our conscious minds are tiny iceberg-tips on the dark ocean of the unconscious. Each life is unique and each person has their own unique story and this is revealed over a lifetime. It’s important that each artist stays watchfully receptive to their consciousness and then utilise all the ingredients at their disposal to make meaning of their lives. This is a magnificent interview with an artist full of aesthetic grace. Enjoy.

28/10/2019 by Joanne Carter

Journey through ‘Mare Nostrum’ – ‘Our Sea’ as twenty two mobile photographers from the Turkish Mobile Artists Group (TuMobArt community), exhibit their unique and limited edition art at La Petite Galerie 35, rue de Seine Paris 75006, between 28 October 2019 to 4 November 2019.

Organised by Sukru Mehmet Ömür, this exhibition is unique in many ways; for one, it is common to read “It is forbidden to touch the works” at other exhibitions but within this exhibition, you are welcome to touch . Each artwork that you view within this exhibition has been created purely on a mobile device.

The second reason this exhibition is unique is because is the first time a mobile art exhibition exists within a physical gallery whilst simultaneously appearing within TheAppWhisperer’s online gallery. Each artist’s exclusive collectible prints are supplied on museum-grade archival Hahnemuhle Photo Rag photographic paper to purchase in limited edition of ten prints. Uniquely numbered and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity to provide limited edition provenance and shipped from London, United Kingdom, throughout the world within 24 hours of receipt of order.

TheAppWhisperer Print Sales is a professional online gallery specialising in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen and not available for sale elsewhere, mobile photography and art. TheAppWhisperer online gallery accepts payments via ApplePay, PayPal, American Express, Maestro, Visa, Shopifypay and Mastercard.

Smartphones have broken down barriers and broadened boundaries. The art that is created with a smartphone can be transferred from wall, to altarpiece, to canvas, to the computer and is visible on a screen that is similar in size to the palm of a hand and yet, astonishingly can be stowed in the pocket of a jacket. Come and discover this unique art of the 21st century and take the opportunity to touch the works! We welcome you.

The mobile artistry works of twenty two talented TuMobArt artist’s will be exhibited in the La Petite Galerie 35, rue de Seine Paris 75006, France between 28 October 2019 to 4 November 2019
