THE-ART-FORM MAGAZINE IS A LIMITED EDITION PUBLICATION ABOUT ART AND ARTISTS.

ALL THE ARTISTS FEATURED IN THE-ART-FORM MAGAZINE HAVE COMPLETED A FORM ABOUT ART.

EACH ARTIST HAS ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS ON THE FORM IN THEIR OWN UNIQUE WAY, GIVING AN INSIGHT INTO THEIR WORK AND WORKING PRACTICE. SOME OF THE ARTISTS HAVE CREATED DRAWINGS AND ORIGINAL ARTWORK IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTIONS.

IN ADDITION TO COMPLETING THE FORM, EACH ARTIST IS INTERVIEWED IN MORE DEPTH, WITH SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR WORK.

STEVEN HARRINGTON

Steven Harrington is a Los Angeles based artist and designer whose work is often described as psychedelic Pop Art. His playful and iconic, large-scale paintings and sculptures are inspired by California’s mystique, diverse landscape and mix of cultures. His work encourages a two way conversation between the artist and the viewer.    

SZABOLCS BOZÓ

Szabolcs Bozó is a Hungarian artist who has created his own fantastical world, inhabited by a cacophony of colourful, cartoon-ish characters, who are full of an apparently untrammelled sense of mischief and joy. His large-scale, gestural paintings are inspired by Hungarian folklore and traditions, hand-puppets, first-generation computer games, comics and fables. 

EDGAR PLANS

Edgar Plans is a Spanish contemporary visual artist, who works across many different mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, animation and NFTs. His work echoes the contemporary faux naïf movement, an aesthetic that is both raw and childlike. From an early age Plans was fascinated with graffiti, urban art and comic books.

ÁNGELES AGRELA

Ángeles Agrela is one of Spain's most recognised contemporary artists. Her work revolves around the role of women within the history of art, seeking to provide a contemporary view of their representation. She takes the traditional archetypes of femininity and beauty and reworks them with a certain sense of the sinister.

YOON HYUP

Yoon Hyup's paintings capture the energy and chaos of urban life through kaleidoscopic linework and pointillist compositions. His work has a rhythmic quality that reflects his love of jazz improvisation; he uses colour to create harmony.

STICKYMONGER

Stickymonger, AKA Joohee Park, is a New York-based Korean artist, whose dreamlike paintings represent a parallel universe. Her primary inspiration comes from observing everyday life and reflecting on her own experiences, memories and emotions.

‘KNOTS’ BY EN IWAMURA - AVAILABLE NOW!

‘Knots’ by En Iwamura is a gold foil emboss and clear foil deboss on paper. The gold foil embossing replicates the line work used on En Iwamura's sculptures, creating a unique optical effect when viewed from different angles. This is the first two-dimensional edition that En Iwamura has created.

"I hope to make a sculpture the same scale as 'Knots' one day. An unfamiliar object that suddenly appears in the middle of town, discovered by the people who live there. I always dream to achieve that unfamiliar encounter with my work." – En Iwamura.

THIS YEAR THE-ART-FORM WILL START TO PUBLISH LIMITED EDITIONS BY SOME OF THE ARTISTS WHO HAVE FEATURED IN THE MAGAZINE, OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS.

The first print release is by Michael Reeder, it’s a 23 colour silkscreen print that includes 3 fluorescent colours, plus 22 carat gold leaf and multiple varnish layers, beautifully printed by Goldmark Atelier.
