Promoted Work: Calling Artists
"Promoted Work" has been on hold while my self-portrait competition runs but will be resuming from 17 June. There are a great variety of artists / websites / publications lined up and they run the gamut from student / amateurs right through to established professionals.
I have my own plans for The Quiet Front which are still months from fruition but, as long as this site is up and running, I am going to use it to promote the art that I love (at no cost). If you are an artist / photographer / publisher and want to use this site as a platform to promote your work please read:
There has been quite a lot of interest and I won't be able to promote everybody but being young, obscure or outside the establishment certainly does not exclude you.
Promoted Work: Brittany Markert's Kickstarter - In-Rooms Gallery Debut
Brittany Markert has a little Kickstarter project to help her put together work for a gallery show. There is only a few days left - go check it out:
Brittany Markert - In-Rooms Gallery Debut
Her work is great so the rewards she's offering are pretty cool. Even if you pledge a few dollars, it will make a difference.
Promoted Work: Brittany Markert - In Rooms
Just over three months ago I wrote a post on 11 Underrated Photographers You Should Be Following. Brittany Markert is still underrated (and you really should be following her).
She has been asked to produce work for an exhibition and needs help to make it happen - Go and support her Kickstarter:
I encourage you to pledge on her project because her goal only covers the bare essentials and I am pretty sure she will use anything over to make her show more kick-ass than it already is.
I also really believe that it is not enough to sit around and passively consume work created by these brave artists - creating art is fucking hard, Brittany Markert deserves our support - Even a pledge of $5 will combine with others and make a meaningful difference, pledge more and she has some great prints as reward.

I wasn't actually planning on promoting anything for the next month to make space for a little competition I was going to hold - but plans change (because Brittany Markert is fucking cool). I'm going to hold the competition after this promo. If you are an artist wanting to use this site to promote your work (at no cost), please read "Promote Your Work".
Promoted Work: Lena Modigh
Lena Modigh is all class. I love her work.
I really like her abstract pieces:
Promoted Work: Lena Modigh
Lena Modigh is the kind of artist I love - she has her own clear voice. She has worked in London and New York, and is now based in Stockholm.
I have a feeling that she will feature a lot more on this site - great work.
Promoted Work: Rafał Karcz
Rafał Karcz bathes his photographs in acid. Zero fucks given to what you think makes good art.
Promoted Work: Rafał Karcz
There is something Kali-esque about the work of Rafał Karcz and your first impression of it is "What the fuck is going on here?". It's like listening to Nirvana's Radio Friendly Unit Shifter - it makes you a little uneasy but it's hard not to be moved by it's raw energy.
I love work like this, it's a reminder that sometimes art is not all about making something nice and meaningful because often life is incoherent, impenetrable and a little dark. There is the spirit of youth and chaos in his images.
Rafał Karcz is a Polish artist from Krakow - you can find a collection of his new works on his Facebook page - RAFAŁ KARCZ EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY - go check it out and leave comments and 'likes' on the work you dig.
I also love his painting:
Promoted Work: Ramon Spaeti
This week I have been promoting the work of film photographer Ramon Spaeti. It has been a welcome change from my usual posts.
He does sell prints from his site and he is also available for hire (he's prepared to travel).
