Choosen Artist - Junky Projects

After I went to OUTPOST, I've chosen Junky Project who made by Daniel Lynch (born in 1980).

History

Group of Americans, who after going to Paris in the latter part of the 19th century for training (the best "Atelier" schools of Academic and Impressionistic influences being available there), returned to the states as truly educated and capable fine artists. Many of the best American artists sequestered themselves for years in New England and became known as "The Boston School."

Biography

Daniel was raised surrounded with beautiful artworks of this heritage (his father owned and managed an art gallery for 8 years known as the Heritage Art Gallery of Classical Realism). He continued to produce art through his high school years winning local awards along the way.

Major Work

Daniel Lynch won the best sculpture award at the 2010 Australian Wood Design Exhibition in Orbost. Most of the awards in the Wood Design exhibition are for furniture, musical instruments and carving.

Why influence me?

Because his art work give me a few ideas and meanings to his artwork. It's very simple and very clear that he used recycle item and make an artwork.
