ufoArtgallery and Alivenotdead share the same idea as they act as a platform to encourage artists to show their creativity. There is no “should” or “should not” in art, Dead Art Comes Alive aims to grow the audience attention to the yet-attended artists, and is a showcase of how these young artists express themselves through their artworks, it allows the audience to see the diversities and energy of some so-called deviant art, that can be witty, melancholic, mad, fun, humourous, blue and even creepy.
Tanya Bennett - Originally from the Uk, Tanya relocated to Hong Kong in order to broaden her creative think-tank of influence and inspiration. She graduated with a Bsc degree in Clothing Manufacturing & Design from the Scottish School of Textiles, and specialized in Fashion Illustration. Combining her deep rooted love of fashion, illustration, and the power of femininity, Tanya explores traditional, digital, and mixed media platforms to present beautiful and compelling images of women, each ascribed a befitting "Doris" moniker. Quoting the 18th Century Arts patron, Madame Marie du Deffand, Tanya believes and tries to convey with the characters that she creates that: “Women are never stronger than when they arm themselves with their weaknesses”
