Loui Jover

I found out about Loui Jover from a fellow student's blog and having had a look at his work, I've decided to include him on here, as I really like his style and feel that I could apply that style to my current project.

Jover is an Australian based artist who primarily uses paper and ink to create his work. He has been drawing since childhood, proclaiming that he draws, 'obsessively every single day'. He says that this is why he can use a variety of styles and approaches in art. Jover has qualifications in Commercial and Graphic Art, alongside an advanced certificate in Visual Communication.


'Flying'

Jover creates a canvas from the pages of old books, then draws with ink.
From Jouver's profile on Saatchionline:

"there is a fragility to these images that I find interesting (as if the wind may blow them away at any moment) and the hand drawn stark black lines against the intricate printed words of the book pages offer a strange fusion and depth that seems to give the images a kind of 'meaning' and back story, even though unconnected in a contrived way. I never pick the image for the pages or visa-versa they just collide as chance permits, any meaning they may have is purely created by the observer and their own imaginings."



'Parisian Love Story'

I like quite a few things about Jover's work. Firstly how by using only one medium he has the ability to create such detailed and intricate pieces of art.  I also like the way in which, he uses different intensities of ink, in order to add definition and further detail to his work.
