Leigh Bowery
1961-1994
Bowery was an Australian drag artist, model and fashion designer based in London. Bower's style is heavily influenced by the club-kids drag scene at the time. The below films are extracts from the 80s television series, The Clothes Show, where Bowery upholds a mockumentary style, keeping his personality, campness and fashion apparent within this. His solo performance work included dance, music, eroticism and outlandishness, although this didn't focus on film he's an important artist to look at in terms of expression.
1986 The Clothes show: Nightclub Fashion
Brothers Quay
Stop motion animators. Their work adopts an eerie style, combining classical music with the movement of found objects.Their scenic use creates a sense of horror, using sound and music to exemplify this. I enjoy the eerie quality of their work and the way stop motion enables them to bring every-day objects to life to tell a story.
Erwin Wurm
An Austrian artist, his series of One Minute Sculptures focus on photography/film of human subjects. Wurm uses a variety of working methods to create his art, I find his photography series, One Minute Sculptures an interesting way to tell a story through human interaction with every day objects, creating a sense of absurdity with elements of the mundane.

Lucy Orta
A British artist whose work centres around performance, drawing and sculpture. She aims to capture human life and it's surroundings through her art, in order to identify the relationship between us, and the world around us. Orta uses raw film footage to document her own creations, combinations of architecture and textile, her film enables her to convey the story of the pieces she creates to the audience.
David Hockney
1937-
A British painter, draftsman, print maker and set designer. His most famous set design being The Rakes Progress, performed at the Glyndebourne Festival Opera in 1975. I enjoy the detailing of these works, they look hand drawn and almost like pictures, even though they are in reality life-size sets.
Jake and Dinos Chapman
British visual artists, whose work holds the intention of being visually shocking. I enjoy how the pair's work combines elements of raw film footage with stop-motion and animations, adding new elements to the perspective of their characters and conveying a range of intentions within each film. Their work outside of film addresses tabboo subjects, such as; sexuality, capitalism, and Hitler, this has helped them become known for being one of the most controversial art duos in modern art.

Guldies
Guldies, Alexander Unger, is a stop motion instagram artist and youtube filmaker, who uses clay, paper and Plasticine along with set design to create simple animated shorts. His films are playful, colourful and aesthetically pleasing. I enjoy his use of basic colour and his distortion of the human form within his sculptures and animated shorts.
PES
PES is a stopmotion filmmaker who uses his films to combine every day objects with every day activities, to transform the banal and mundane into something interesting. I like the basic use of sound in their work, and how each object transforms into something unexpected.
Kevin Parry - Hidden Patterns Inside Fruits and Vegetables
This stop motion short explored the hidden patterns inside fruits and vegetables by slicing away a layer within each frame, together as an animation it seems as if the objects are consuming themselves, and they move with ease. There is something satisfying about Parry's use of sound and colour, keeping it basic and yet interesting.
Michel Gondry
Gondry is a french film director, producer and screen writer. He is most well known for his participation of the film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, as a writer. My favourite film by Gondry however, is Bjork's Human Behavior. In this film Gondry combines stop motion animation, with film footage of Bjork.
Norman McLaren - Neighbours
1952
McLaren edits this short film with an interesting use of stop motion, using physical actors in the style of an entirely stop-motion piece of film.
