Career

In 2005, her work was featured in Phaidon's inaugural tome on "New Perspectives in Drawing" Vitamin D. Compiled in its pages were a number of productions by the artist that hinted at a diverse approach to drawing through a combination of processes and materials including cut paper, graphite and ink collaged and taped together; a wallpaper collage with pencil, crayon and oil paint; a pencil and gouache wall work combined with a laminate sculpture; drawings on regular paper, antique paper acrylics and Chinese inks. The entry on Bool in the Vitamin D catalogue remarked: "Her works borrow and reproduce eclectic source material, including ornamental designs and patterns, textile and wallpaper samples, found postcards and photographs, advertising images from the 1920s and 30s, illustrations from fairy-tale books, and details from art-historical paintings. [4]

In 2013, Bool was awarded the Villa Romana Prize. [5] In 2019, she was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Photography Award. [6]

Norbert Prangenberg was an abstract painter, sculptor, and engraver who was born in Nettseheim, just outside of Cologne, Germany. Though he had no formal training and did not fully engage with art until his 30s, Prangenberg did finally come up with a style that was uniquely his own, not fitting comfortably into the neo-expressionist or neo-geo movements of his time, in the 1970s and 1980s. At this time, he was considered a major figure in contemporary German art. Though he got his start with abstract paintings, he also became known for making sculptures of all sizes; and while his work initially appears abstract, the titles given sometimes allude to the human body or a landscape. As a trained gold- and silversmith, as well as a glassblower, he always showed an attention to materials and how they could be physically engaged with. He was interested in how his own two hands could affect the painting or sculpture's surface. Traces of the artist's hand appear literally throughout his entire oeuvre, before he lost the battle with liver cancer in 2012.

Kerstin Kartscher German artist (born 1966)

Kerstin Kartscher (*1966) is a German artist who lives and works in London. Her central medium is drawing. Often her works evolve out of combining finely detailed drawings with found objects, or man made materials, that can be merged in installations. Kartscher creates drawings and installations of imaginary worlds populated by nameless heroines who celebrate their femininity, liberated from social, emotional and psychological constraints, within fantastical, elegant and immense landscapes.
