Polish artist Jacek Yerka was born in 1952. The two of his mothers and fathers are artists, so he grew up with the scent of paint and surrounded by paper, ink, paints and brushes. Yerka was thinking about studying astronomy or medicine, but identified paint appropriate before his last test and thus entered the mysterious entire world of colors. The artist was mostly inspired by XV century Dutch tablet paintings.
Julie Heffernan creates sensuous figurative painting, like co-Yale MFAS, John Currin and Linda Yuskavage, but her luminous oils are patently unique among them and most working artists today. A Victorian impetus to conjoin, edging toward pastiche, creates artfully staged Surrealist environments. Read more The vibrant world of Julie Heffernan
The existential vacuum is the psychological landscape that Alex Gross presents in Future Tense. A lengthy parade of characters lost in their cell phones, iPads and computers find themselves in worlds of neon-lit supermarkets, billboard infested metropolises, and naturalistic countryside panoramas. Most of his characters appear bored and distracted. His work exposes the result of corporate-dictated mass culture and our inability to be present and interact with the real world. Alex Gross’ paintings remind us, through a blend of symbolic and literal elements, that it is impossible to escape the domination of corporations and consumerism.

“I’m not a puppet, I am a grenade… I’m not an artist, I’m a fucking work of art, I’ve got an F and a C and I got a K too And the only thing that’s missing is you! I’ve got an F and a C and I got a K too And the only thing that’s missing is a bitch like you!” (Marilyn Manson – Vodevil/(s)AINT)
Well, blogging it’s fucking nice, but don’t pay the bills. On the other hand I’m pretty bored by all that facebook-like strictly formal socializing and meaningless, useless and mainly fake (“as the wedding cake”) giving likes shit. Seriously. It makes no any sense and no use for it. Actually, may I add you as ENEMY because I’m fucking sick of friends like you. (“I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers…”) 😀 Read more Paintings on sell
What we see it’s really what it is? I mean, blue is really blue, a wall it’s really a wall or the sky is above or… beyond? What we can see, smell and touch, this world and this reality it’s the only “real thing”? Well, I don’t have a scientific answer, but I’m not so sure. Maybe everything if it comes down to zeros and ones may look different. And maybe there’s an unseen, parallel universe. Or two. 😀
“Messing up” pictures it’s a fun full activity at least. Digitally speaking, there’s infinite possibilities and options, variable experiments and million of effects can be used. There’s one of my trips into a parallel universe build from actually ordinary images. Have fun! 🙂 Read more lights and fractals – a trip into abstract
