Mobile Photography & Art – Peter Wilkin Joins our Online Gallery

22/11/201922/11/2019 by Joanne Carter

To have someone interpret our story, to know what we’ve endured, experienced, sustained and to vocalise it back to us, is what we all most long for. Peter Wilkin’s art meets us at this level, perhaps offering the ultimate allure, to have our own story retold to us. Yearning, moribund, caring, all brush up against each other in this selection of art, you can edge right up to it, be captivated, with another, through another, into the purest vestal from where we came.

Wilkin’s previous occupation as a psychotherapist has much to do with his understanding of our needs to be understood. His art radiates and throbs off the page, each one suggestive of another outcome, if the viewer approaches the art with inner knowledge, then they will bask in a sort of awakening, a path, on which to return and reel from the bliss.

We are exhibiting ten exclusive highly collectable prints of Wilkin’s work. Available to purchase for the first time on museum grade archival paper stocks.

Mobile Photography & Art – New Assignment for our Forthcoming Book ‘Away with Words’

20/11/201920/11/2019 by Joanne Carter

Whilst I am busy completing the seventh chapter with our selected image for our previous assignment #ladylike, I would like to announce our brand new assignment for the next chapter in our soon to be published book entitled ‘Away with Words’. Our new assignment is ‘Belonging’. We would like to see your interpretations of this assignment. Belonging can be interpreted in many ways, who is accepted and who is not? What is self actualisation in the context of society and religion? What are the artist’s role in pushing boundaries? What is truth and who defines it? What is rejection? What is fear? What is forgiveness? What is courage? This assignment will give you many opportunities to truly demonstrate what ‘Belonging’ means to you and we can wait to view your interpretations.

Please note that this section is not a ‘typical challenge’ section, this is a professional assignment for our forthcoming book ‘Away with Words’. This new book will feature twelve photographs selected from a monthly assignment challenge, each accompanied by no less than a 1000 word essay.

To take part please send your image(s) to my email address – joannetheappwhisperer@protonmail.com and/or to Instagram with this hashtag #tawbelonging. At the end of each month, we will gather the images that have been contributed and select one for this immersive critique.

I will personally write this essay with over 1000 words. Each critique will identify the elements, contextual meaning of these elements, interpretation and conclusion. Each critique will then be published not only on TheAppWhisperer, the world’s most popular mobile photography & art website but also throughout our vast social media channels. At the end of the year, we will publish a book featuring all of these critiques. As you can appreciate each critique will take some time to create well, so we ask, if you would like to take part to donate £10 per image that you submit (there is no limit to the number of images you submit), we feel this is fair. To do this, just select the appropriate allowance at the bottom of our donation section at the end of this post.

To date we have published chapters by the following artists: Rita Colantonio, Valeria Cammareri, M. Cecilia Sao Thiago, Peter Wilkin, Becky Menzies.

To read some of our previously published chapters, please go here.

Creating art, photography or otherwise, is an outlet to express our emotions. This eighth assignment can be interpreted in your art literally or metaphorically, or any other interpretations you may draw, all entries are welcome. This assignment window will close on 21 December 2019, when we will announce the new one. To take part please send your image(s) to my email address – joannetheappwhisperer@protonmail.com and/or to Instagram with this hashtag #tawbelonging.

Mobile Photography & Art – Sarah Bichachi Joins Our Online Gallery!

20/11/201920/11/2019 by Joanne Carter

Sarah Bichachi’s art underlines the concept of the impermanence of life – one of her main sources of inspiration. The processes of genesis, metamorphosis and inevitable disappearance, as well as the symbolic correspondences between earth and body, are her starting points. Bichachi’s photographs offer great poetic beauty brought together in a superbly elegant and enigmatic way that compels a shiver of aesthetic pleasure and fear. Bichachi is a cancer survivor and each piece of art embodies her courage, resourcefulness, physical toughness, talent and relish. Her art is a springboard for a tremendously charismatic and muscular outstanding performance, brilliantly crafted and deliciously entertaining – a metaphor for the fleetingness of life. “True success radiates love, compassion… a sense of well being and a feeling of accomplishment not only for the body, but for the soul as well”, she once confided to me.

We are exhibiting twelve exclusive highly collectable prints of Bichachi’s work. Available to purchase for the first time on museum grade archival paper stocks.

Mobile Photography & Art – Anca Balaj Joins Our Online Gallery!

19/11/201919/11/2019 by Joanne Carter

Anca Balaj is one of the finest mobile art draughtsman of her generation. As a visual creative, specialising in mobile photography and art direction, her practice combines a natural interest in academic research and literature to create a unique and radical style of mobile painting in which the conceptual meets the visual.

Balaj’s art is created with an Apple iPad and is intended to be scaled up into larger works where her economic execution and whimsical expression reveal an intimate side to her practice. Her imagery is very direct, working empirically, ‘inside an idea’.

Her rigorous style of fine art emphasises a dynamic but balanced relationship between complementary colours such as blue, red, green and orange, completing each other. They are at their most intense when placed together. Balaj adjusts her colours to obtain the maximum intensity.

Balaj is destined to be one of the decisive influences in mobile art and we are proud to represent her within TheAppWhisperer Online Gallery! We are exhibiting fifteen exclusive highly collectable prints of Balaj’s work. Available to purchase for the first time on museum grade archival paper stocks in strictly limited edition print runs, of ten prints, per image size.

Anca Balaj joins our successful featured artists, including Christine Sobczak, Jane Schultz, Helen Breznik, Jill Lian, Gianluca Ricoveri, Lorenka Campos, Susan Rennie, Sean Hayes, Glenn Homann, M. Cecilia São Thiago and Barbara Nebel as well as Mare Nostrum Parisian Exhibition, including works from Bilgehan Yilmaz, Ece Mizrakci, Esra Tanoren, Filiz Ak, Fusun Degirmencioglu, Hacer Onal, Hulya Ergir Sofuglu, Manuela Matos Monteiro, Mehmet Duyulmus, Mehmet Omur, Merih Soylu, Mifdale Oguzoglu, Nesrin Kavrakoglu, Nukhet Poda Gofer, Peter Wilkin, Pinar Camlibel, Selda Ozcirpici, Semra Duyulmus, Serap Utas, Sibel Erdamar, Suha Ari, Zeynep Giz Ungun.

Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr/Instagram Group Showcase – 17 November 2019

18/11/201917/11/2019 by Joanne Carter

I was delighted this week to learn that 45 year old Ivorian artist, Joana Choumali has become the first African photographer to scoop the Prix Pictet prize, winning with a series of embroidered photographs responding to the trauma of terrorist attacks in Ivory Coast in 2016. The series is entitled ‘Ca va aller‘ – meaning – ‘it will be ok‘, a reference to stoical reaction to adversity that she said permeated Ivorian culture. Her images were printed onto canvas and then later embroidered with stitches directly onto the surface. Combining photographic imagery with fabric and therefore, creating ‘conceptual portraits‘. She created this work ‘as a need to process the pain‘. She said ‘each stitch was a way to recover, to lay down the emotions, the loneliness and mixed feelings I felt‘. Her work is stunning but what particularly interested me was the way it helped her to process her inner pain. I believe pain is the root to many artists’ work, whether that be pictorial, sculpture or the written word and I refuse to believe anyone who tells me, and they frequently do, that it has no place – it has every place. I am luckily enough to be invited to many exhibitions and shows around the world and earlier this year, I attended the opening of Tracey Emin’s brutal portraits of female pain exhibition ‘a fortnight of tears‘. I spoke with her and discussed her work. Her background repeats in much of her art and as she gets older, also the sleeplessness, exhaustion, whirling anxieties and the fear of running out of time contribute. The power of female art has become vital for women and not ‘just‘ artists but for all women. French writer and poet Andre Breton once described Frida Kahlo’s art as a ‘ribbon around a bomb‘, I say, standby for the blast…

I hope you all love this weeks mobile photography and art showcase as much as I do. Thank you to all the talented artists for submitting your works to our showcase this week. If you would like your work to be considered for entry in to our weekly Mobile Photography and Art Flickr Group, please submit it to our dedicated group, here.
