The French have given me another reason to get excited. French artist Amose, shows us his unique use of shapes and colors in his illustrations. The tiny heads and unusual human forms is what Amose’s signature work looks like on canvases, walls and also his digital work.

On most of his art the subjects have robotic shaped bodies that are big, strong and not to be messed with. Neck up is a different story. Make them look human is what he did, giving his subjects regular size heads with very expressive faces that have than human feel to them, making you appreciate what you’re looking at. Let’s see if Amose will be kind enough to create an animation bringing his characters to live!

It’s obvious these two friends and artists in their own rights, work very well together. Since their first collaboration with Edward Scissorhands, they have worked together on 7 films to date and I’m quite sure several more films and projects will have this duo pleasing us for years to come!

Tim Burton’s field of work has earned him a place not only in the movie hall of fame, but the art world has been following his…. creations. It’s only fit that an exhibition should be given this special, gifted artist.

Against the grain is how I would describe Tim Burton approach to life and his passion. Sometimes it pays to let your imagination come to life and run wild. Luckily for Burton, we like it when he opens up his mind and invites us in!
