The Artist's Diary - b-Uncut - by Thomas Hodges

absolutearts.com Portfolio

artists diary

I am very pleased to announce the publication of "The Artist's Diary", which is now available for purchase.  You will find two of my works included in the diary, namely "Mystery" and "Exotic Erotic".   Not only is this publication a wonderful compilation of inspired art from an international assortment of equally inspired and talented artists, but I believe it will be a great investment in the long-term.  To review/purchase, CLICK HERE .

The Artists Diary is an annual collection of the ambitious and talented works of the contemporary artists who make up b-uncut.com. It is an opportunity for us to share our art in the physical world. 

b-uncut.com started in late 2007 as an online community of like-minded, emerging and contemporary artists led by Philip Letts, Innovation Artist and abstract photographer, as a way to free themselves from the confines of the legacy art marketplace. A marketplace where all too often galleries and auction houses act as choke points rather than facilitators. Initially b-uncut provided artists with a virtual studio, online community and social media platform. It is now a powerful new art marketplace.

Romantica 

My image Romantica (from the exhibition series) is currently competing in "Showdown". If you would like to stop-by and cast me a vote, it would be appreciated. I have entered this image on several past occasions, and it always comes very near the top, but never quite wins. It also features on a regular basis in the viewers "50 most favourite images" at Saatchi Online, so I thought I'd try and give it a push for once. You can go to this link to vote: Thanks :-)

Bio

My photo
Taipei & Rome, New Taipei City, Taiwan
Born in London, England, Thomas has lived and travelled extensively throughout Europe, East and South East Asia. However, he currently resides between Taiwan and Italy. As an artist, Thomas is best known for his figurative works, depicting female sexuality and sensuality. Thomas has a unique artistic style, which he terms "Imaginistic", leaving the onlooker to deduct the ultimate conclusion of what his images portray. In December 2006, Thomas established the Art Movement "Imaginism", to accommodate his own imagery, and in compliment to the poetic movement of the same name. Thomas also works as a Curator, Art Journalist and Educator.
