Cool Artists of the Week(s)


Xhxix Curious transitions and superimposed images 


Eunika Rogers She actually paints with clay - check it out!

Thursday, May 6th Drawing Class at ArtServe

John Constable, "Seascape study with rain clouds" SEASCAPES In my latest critique group, an abstract artist asked me what I saw when I looked at abstract art. My answer was simple. The same ideas used in abstract art are evident and important in representational art. ESPECIALLY in landscapes. We will reinforce the elements and principles of design that make seascapes powerful expressions of a place and time. I will be referencing Ed Whitney's critiques of seascapes. All great landscapes are abstract paintings. Here are some wonderful seascapes. Why do they attract your attention?

I will strongly reinforce composition, negative and positive space and value structure. Bring in a photo that is dear to you or you just find intriguing. Drawing kits: Graphite or charcoal Color if you wish. Bristol paper for graphite Charcoal paper for charcoal Cool Artist links. I chose photorealists. By no means do you have to try to be a photorealist. They have no qualms about copying the photo exactly. You, my friends, may choose to interpret otherwise. Ben Heine from Belgium Combines drawings with photographs.

SINGAPORE BIENNALE 2016

Lucky me. I arrived in Singapore to find their Biennale in the Singapore Art Museum and other Museums and institutions around town. It has been a great introduction to the Southeast Asian geography and culture. Many visits have pulled me out of an extreme state of jet lag and whetted my appetite to learn more about Southeast Asia. Singapore Biennale AN ATLAS OF MIRRORS - AT ONCE, MANY WORLDS "In charting our way around the world, humankind has relied on instruments of vision as well as navigation. Atlases map and mirror our journeys of discovery and often make visible more than just physical terrain; driven by our needs and desires, they embolden us to venture into the unknown. From our coordinates in Southeast Asia, the arc of our shared histories encompasses East and South Asia. These regions bear the imprints of one another's diverse cultures, even as boundaries are also constantly reimagined. Fraught and unstable, these borders are characterized by fluid mo...
