I don't study art or consider myself very well versed in it, but I do like the art by the above artists.
anti-art is more valuable to me in this day and age...that old art is responsible for a lot of false ideals and stagnation in the world...art should be progressive...art should break down barriers...and that doesn't mean some stupid nudist..or nihilist crap...
art should carry the living organic narrative of the human story...opposed to the old classical paintings that you often think of when you think of 'art'.
Damn, where the hell did everyone go? :\
Anyway, let's get this thread going again.
There's a new online resource that seems pretty cool. Art.sy is trying to be the Pandora of art. They have a really beautiful web design and what might be most impressive is their attempt at breaking down and compiling all the different art out there through their art genome project. If you guys would like an invite to the site (it's still in beta), post in this thread and I'll PM one your way.
I also have a couple new paintings completed that I'll share.
Shrug - oil on canvas
18 x 24 "
Sierpinski no. 1 - acrylic on canvas
30 x 30 "
This last one is a complete departure from my previous works. I have always been interested in geometric/grid art and color field... Piet Mondrian, Robert Diebenkorn, Mark Rothko... Some of you know that I just moved to Brooklyn about three months ago. To do a painting in a completely unfamiliar style in a place I had never been seemed fitting.
I'm not really into art nor do I claim to understand a lot of the aspects of what goes into design and creation of it (beyond throwing/making bowls and vases on the wheel in ceramics from HS ) My knowledge is limited to the most well-known artists (Dali is probably my favorite) but that second piece there is really interesting to me...I'm not sure if its the geometry or the color scheme and relative sizes/directions or using one shape to form everything but I really dig that painting man, awesome job.
