A Look at Art in the Modern Day.
Artist Remi Labarre has a style of painting that conjures up piano bars, lounge acts and old-world cafes. That’s likely because they seem to be the focal point of his art. But more than that, his signature style evokes the feeling of a bygone age. When I saw his work I was quickly struck by […]
Artist Seo Young Deok I’ve always been fascinated by chain. It’s solid yet flexible. Smooth but unforgiving. It has a certain rugged beauty to it. Well, aparently, Korean artist Seo Young Deok has the same fascination. Actually, his fascination is one of obsession. Deok creates beautiful human body sculptures with chain (not just bicycle chain, but the bicycle […]
Pyrography Artist Julie Bender: Not much makes me happier than some fire. I love building a fire, stoking a fire and just just plain staring at fire. I’m an Aries, of course, but I’ve also got a touch of pyromaniac in me. Not enough to have ever…you know…commited an arson or anything, but definitively enough […]
Maine Artists Keeping Vacationland Creepy Steven King isn’t the only creepy thing in Maine. Artist co-op The Shoggoth Assembly creates awesome, old school special effects makeup, Lifecasting (Silicone & Alginate), prosthetic effects, prop creation, backgrounds, storyboards and artistic design (and many other services) for the film, stage and photography. The backbone of this creative group, is special […]
Artist Jacob Lawrence In recognition of Black History Month, I give to you one of my (new) favorite artists. I’m sad to say that the images you see here are poor representations of artist Jacob Lawrence‘s work. His work is definitely something that needs to be seen in person. We have a few pieces of […]
Artists Judith Ann Braun, a contestant on season 1 of ‘Work of Art: The Next Great Artist’, does what she calls “fingerings” to create beautiful, flowing symmetrical works. She uses various materials (charcoal, pastel, chalk, etc.) to paint her works. My favorite part of her work is her skill in using negative space so effectively. […]
Art The World! Art is the pulse of society and an essential part of the soul of humanity. Artists don’t just make art. They are art. Without them, the world is a sadder place. Art takes time, effort, talent and skill just like any other job. Just a reminder for us all to do our […]
Seattle Artist Dylan Neuwirth’s ‘THE CONVERSATION’ Dylan Neuwirth, a local Seattle artist, has a very interesting and immersive art style. His masterful use of the entire gallery space creates quite an experience. His multimedia approach allows him to control the room with his artwork, lighting and unique sense of style. His most recent exhibition ‘THE […]
Artist Lloyd Metcalf Give Us Art’s latest ‘Featured Artist’ is Lloyd Metcalf. Lloyd’s work runs the gamut: digital painting, fine art, oil painting, water color, pen and ink, photography, and video. I’ll be honing in on the oil painting and digital painting aspects of his work. This line, from his bio, sums up Lloyd pretty […]
Can an artist be both an outsider artist and a pop artist? I’m not sure. But Italian Artist Claudio Parentela‘s work certainly is a powerful argument that its possible! His website, full of mind blowing color and vaguely-nauseating movement shows his outsider-like, insane pop aesthetic just as much as his artwork. He’s a man who’s not afraid to […]
Aaron Morgan’s (Artist of the IIWII Project) is one busy bee. Besides IIWII, he’s got an blog Art-Bullshit-Music (or ABM, he’s a big fan of initials apparently) and a band–Wiscon– Here’s an interview with the wacky members of Wiscon. Check it out. Local indy band Wiscon is part of Seattle’s newest wave of bands injecting the music […]
