KaranSinghKaran Singh is an Australian artist and illustrator living in Tokyo. He draws inspiration from graphic design conceptions and op-art minimalism. We find it best to let the artist explain their work as he does here on Sugarlift:

“My work is an study of interaction using the notion of ‘presence through absence’. I’ve found that stripping images back completely to convey contour and depth through simple forms and repetition, exposes this interaction. Composition too, is a subject and tool I explore, particularly in communicating one’s relationship with their environments. My use of bold and vibrant colours reflects a playful curiosity in my ongoing explorations and culminates in an abstract re-imagination of traditional still life imagery.”

TiffanyCalderKingstonTiffany Calder Kingston considers art as her voice for the environment. Born in Melbourne she moved in 2004 to be close to her creative inspiration, the natural environment of Byron Bay. On her website she writes this about her environmental art:

“As many artists may understand, once we have placed the first mark on a blank canvas it begins a journey into the depths of our creative souls. Each line, shape, color are no more than a dialogue between the source and the artist. This is our visual voice.”

“My artwork is an interpretation of natures dialogue. It is an understanding of my ancestry but most of all it is a fascination of the human species and our relationship to the planet. I have studied many cultures that worship elements of nature and yet many who neglect it. Not only is this evident throughout the planet but even within our local environment.”

“What I see… In nature I believe each element connects or is linked together energetically as one cannot exist without the other. The landscape I see is not just the hills of a horizon line instead it is the layers beneath the earth, within the waters depths, the root systems, and the seeds that are the new beginning. My interest in the wetlands for example is because of its diversity and the lineage of generations of plant matter, which are the foundations for the growth of new life.”
