Howard Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), 2012 Mixed media on grey...

Bowman
Located in Brecon, Powys
Part of Sax Berlins Sfumato Pearl Series. The first string of pearls contains 30 images on slate created in 30 days. Each piece measures 24" X 24" and will require framing to hang. This amazing set of works references Durer and Caravaggio, particularly in his use of chiariscuro and tenebrism techniques. However, the series is also much more spiritual and calls upon the ancient Chinese and Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi; a profound aesthetic consciousness that transcends appearance. To view the true essence of the work one must look beyond the apparent, one must look within. Bowman; a representation in slate of the great counter tenor James Bowman...
