Artist of the month march

This will be a serie of swaps where we explore 1 artist per month.

In this swap we will look at the work and life of an artist. When you have done that you will make 1 piece of art for your partner that is inspired by this artist and you tell your partner 1 fact about this artist you thought was interesting.

By inspired by I don't mean you have to copy this artist, your piece of art does not even have to look like it was made by this artist. Be inspired by the use of color, the symbolism, the red line you find in his work. Be inspired by his life, relations, the era he lived in.

The kind of art you make is up to you. It can be a postcard, matchbox shrine, a doll, atc, an altered object. Whatever you like.

The first artist we will explore is Hieronymus Bosch. Mostly becouse it's his year in the Netherlands and there is a huge exposition of his work and I am intrigued. Any suggestions for a following artist (old master, modern, painter, sculpter, anybody) are most welcome.

Hieronymus Bosch was an early dutch painter. His work is known for its fantastic imagery, detailed landscapes, and illustrations of religious concepts and narratives. Within his lifetime his work was collected in the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain, and widely copied, especially his macabre and nightmarish depictions of hell.

here you can find the english wikipedia page.

here you find his painting of The Garden of Earthly Delights with opportunity to enlarge parts and get extra information about it. If it's not in english you see NL in the right upper corner and there you can change it to EN.
