With an unprecedented array of media and digital tools at their disposal, today's artists are faced with unlimited possibilities for creative experimentation. Never before has there been such innovation in the way art can be conceptualized, produced and presented.
Art Revolution is on the cutting-edge, exploring how artists are reinterpreting, reinventing and redefining everything from the surfaces on which they work to the way viewers interact with their finished pieces. This book ventures off the beaten path to track the creative directions and signature styles of twenty-one of today's most visionary artists, including Dave McKean, David Mack, Marshall Arisman and Cynthia von Buhler.
Brilliantly illustrated with inventive examples of two-dimensional, three-dimensional, digital and new media art, Art Revolution will inspire you to break out of the confines of traditional thinking, push your content to a higher level, and revolutionize your personal approach to art.

Art Revolution: Alternative Approaches for Fine Artists and Illustrators
Three things drew me to this book: its deeply layered art, the addition of practical process description and my familiarity with the art of one of the artists (Dave McKean).
The book does not disappoint in any of these respects. The production quality is excellent. Photos of each artist's work are plentiful, large and crisp. The process descriptions include a product list and numbered reference photos. The author, whose own work is included in the book, demonstrates both practical experience and theoretical knowledge of mixed media.
I have only two criticisms, which go to style rather than substance:
(1) I dislike passive voice for process descriptions. It lends a sorcerer's apprentice feel the description: "Paint is applied"'as if the the brush took on a life of its own, sans the artist. This usage isn't unusual for process descriptions, but it's grating nonetheless.
(2) Is there any subject so compelling, so vital that the rarefied and airless abstractions of academia cannot enervate it? I've yet to discover one. Of all subjects, art deserves concrete language, for it enters our consciousness through the senses and, hopefully, touches our heart on it way upstairs to the cranium.
These said, whether you are interested in mixed media art and artists, are expanding your own skill set to include the newer digital tools or just enjoy art which offers intriguing layers of imagery and meaning, you'll find and enjoy it in Art Revolution.
