I had my regular client Kate and she wanted to change her hair style. I normally cut her hair differently every time anyway. Here is my inspiration by Morris Louis haircut.

It is so much fun to work when I got inspired by artists. As everyone has different hair types, hair textures, face shapes, growth patterns and so on. It even brings out peoples personalities into hair styles. I love making people feel better, good about themselves and making them feel more confident.

Thanks for visiting here and I hope you like it.

Kandinsky Red-Yellow-Blue

A few weeks ago, I went to Somerset House, The Courtauld Collection for Impressionists. Once again, I realised how beautiful the building was. Every corner of the architecture was elaborately decorated.

There are lots of impressionist paintings like A Bar at the Folies-Bergere by Edouard Manet (1882), Two dancers on a stage by Edgar Degas (1874),  Nevermore by Paul Gauguin (1897), Self-portrait with Bandaged ear by Vincent Van Gogh (1889) and so on.

The ones that I really liked was Wassily Kandinsky.

The Red Circle (1939)

This characteristic late work was painted in the year that Kandinsky gained French citizenship. It’s playful combination of ladders, grids, colourful shapes and a large sun-like disc provoke numerous possible interpretations. the painting’s open- ended imagery suggests Kandinsky’s awareness of French Surrealist art. Which he admired for its efforts to ‘create a new relationship with nature’

Kandinsky (1910) Improvisation on Mahogany.

By 1910 Kandinsky had developed his art to the brink of abstraction. He started to group his paintings into three categories; ‘Impressions’. ‘Improvisations’. ‘Compositions’. The associations were intended to be musical, emphasising the sensation of colour, line and form freed from their descriptive functions. Here, isolated details can be ire of a women and the identified, such as the figure of a women and the outlines of a walled city, to the right. However, the textured patches of brilliant colour generate their own energy and harmony.

Also, a good thing about going to The Courtauld Collection was taking pictures. You can get closer to the painting so that you will be able to see the textures of art.

 The paintings really inspired me and I couldn’t get out of my mind. The following day I went to work and one of my regular client Lucy came. I told her about my recent visiting at Somerset House and how much Kendinsky paintings inspired me and I suggested I could do something a different hair style for her.

Here is my haircut inspired by Kandinsky ‘Yellow-Red-blue’ and It’s one of my favourites art by Kandinsky.

You can see particularly with this painting, I love geometric shape, lines, strong colourful, also musical.  It all works together harmonically.

I cut three lines with different level with Graduation and disconnected length on front.

Thanks to Katie to let me to try this haircut and I loved cutting her hair. 😉

Stage of Mind – JeeYound Lee

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a long time since I wrote on this blog. It’s coming in the New Year, I decided to carry on ..

Korean Artist who specializes in creating the unseen. What she creates represents her emotions; they are self-portraits filled with fear, doubt, love and hope.  she transforms her 3 x 6 m studio into her dreams and feelings.

Black Birds

Broken Heart

Sweet Appetite

The Little Match Girl

Panic Room

I’ll Be Back

Childhood

If you see her art that she created in the room, she places herself in each room.“Those self-portraits however are never frontal, since it is never her visual aspect she shows…”

“…but rather her quest for an identity, her desires and her frame of mind.” Even though most of her art is based on internal conflicts, the resulting room is filled with hope.

I hope you enjoyed it and have a great New Year!

Keep warm and see you soon. 😉

Love this vintage photos!

Alexander James

I recently found some very interesting photos by Alexander James. Great detail in under water photohraphy.

I found this incredible photographer from one of my clients the other day.  When i looked it up, it looks almost alive and even looks like paintings.

The work of Alexander James, a London-based contemporary artist, draws from this tradition while making a few liberal interpretations. His work objectifies and delights in decaying fruit, cut flowers, insects and animal carcasses, placing them in familiar arrangements with a notable, but nearly often imperceptible difference – they are, in fact, underwater.

Pianist – Alfonso Gugliucci

I LOVE this video by Alfonso Gugliucci.

At the moment, I’m really into Jazz music! Close your eyes when you listen, feel like you’re in a nice swanky cocktail bar. 😉

International DJ – Kasia Kosiarska.

Over last few years Kasia’s travels have taken her to countries such as Germany, Holland, Portugal and Croatia.
Kasia is currently making her move into production as part of duo called KP Sessions.

Her first professional step into the electronic music world was in London, 2009. After her first DJ gig she started working her way through the underground party circuit in East London, playing gigs at small intimate venues and underground warehouse parties.

Her DJ sets reflect her eclectic taste, delving into a world of weird and challenging music. Her sound could be heard as somewhere between from house, dub to techno with a healthy dose of deep groove and funk thrown into the mix.
Her music has been well received in Hamburg where she has been supporting growing underground parties and she has become a friendly face at clubs like Baalsaal or Waangenbau.

Recently she has been making her way towards Berlin electronic scene where she has played at clubs such as Club Der Visionare and KaterHolzig.
