Color is my daylong joy obsession and torment

Colorful artwork that makes me warm and fuzzy inside
:D





yes....apparently I like angry brush strokes


and "obviously pretty" artworks....sue me




Doesn't it make you just want to repaint the world?

I saw an angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free - Michelangelo

I read a quote once but for the life of me i can't find it. It said basically that when sculpting you have to put your life and energy into every bit of clay or stone because over time sculptures are weathered and destroyed and the fragments left must have every bit of integrity as the original sculpture. Of course it sounded much more poetic.

Anyway you get the point.

My art teacher told us to research and find a piece that inspired us and I will share what I found with you.

I discovered Karen fletcher.She worked alongside Isabella Stefanscu creating a collection called
Intimate Distance : Etudes/Studies





top: Gesture with Bamboo Pole/KM8
second row: Gesture - K with Pillory Position/KM9
third row: Study - E Reclining/CZ2
fourth row : Study-L reclining /LO9



Isabella would draw a nude model and then Karen would sculpt a representation of that drawing.Its very raw and gritty and has a unfinished feel that I like.

I had a chance on an art field trip to see the collection in person and I thought it was the most beautiful interpretations Ive ever seen.

WAK

One of my favourite artists of all time is Kevin A Williams aka WAK. Normally I tend to prefer organic abstract art but he's kinda made me fall in love with his work. Sometimes I find his art work is too literal but sometimes its just simply breathtaking. I'll share my favourites with you
  "4 shady"
 "Beautiful Breeze"
 "Beautiful Soul"
 "Mind Body Soul"
 "Sound of Serenity"
"Take Five"
"The Ballerina"
