Thank you to Leigh and Connie for introducing me to these artists :)
1. Gunther Uecker- found in an exhibition advert of Arts magazine Sept 2013
A German painter, sculptor and a kinetic artist.
I was drawn to his work as I like the idea of adding a third dimension to artwork using simple materials. He has used steel dressmakers' pins to add this effect. The added advantage of this material being a shiny metal plays with light to create mysterious effect. As an audience you feel tempted to touch and experience this dimension in his work.
Nagelbild Medium: nails and charcoal on canvas laid on board.
Structured Field (1992)Medium-bond, plaster(white), nails, canvas on panel board
Andrew Salgado- Canadian portrait artist

His practice explores the correlation between the concept of masculinity and the properties of the medium; generally based in paint, at times his practice also incorporates video, text, sculpture, performance, and paper-based work.
Iain Macarthur-born in Swindon(UK)
He works with pencils, pigment pens and watercolours.
His works comprise of logos for companies, album art, shirt designs,
He draws portraits of ordinary people embellished with intricate patterns.
Some of his work reminds me of the henna patterns that appear in my( Indian) culture.
That's interesting to read that you find some of MacArthurs work has similarities to Indian culture, as I thought the same thing but couldn't verbalise it very well. :S
