I'm pretty sure it's a painting - I think it was more obvious up close.

my grandma ruined my life with the Phaidon book on minimalism. the images are all right-- seen a lot of them before. but the essays! so i've been thinking about Stella. and also Georgian Architecture, for some reason.

i am so in love with gregory euclide's art that even looking at images on his site made me almost cry! i could look at it for a very long time.

HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 02:47 (nineteen years ago)

wait, is i crazy for not liking teh euclide stuff?

sigh...i wish my katz were closer. perhaps i should get a travel bag for it.

trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

katz *was* closer. jeez.

trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

yes, crazy.
i find katz amazing too but in a dif way.
one of the things i like about euclide is that there appears to be so much going on but it's all tied together with shapes, forms, colours, shading/light. it's like the world is slowly exploding but someone tied everything on strings, so it's okay.

rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 02:59 (nineteen years ago)

it's alright, lfam, i don't really like the katz. different strokes.

rrrobyn, i thought this was kinda neat. a euclide step by step on how he makes his pieces

whats so great about that first one, its just a picture of some chingchongs

^n_n^ (Adrian Langston), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

the euclide step by step is cool! there's an interview with him on that site too. i like what he says about music.

The music often drives the work to a certain place. I like music more than visual art... possibly because I could never really play piano, or because it is just more flowing. I try to capture the feeling I get while listening to a certain work... Or... the feeling I get when walking through a forrest... it is the same feeling.. and it comes out in the work as a flowing mess of tiny scenes and diagrams.

and this:

Someone once yelled out to Neil Young in a concert "Hey Neil, It all sounds the same" and Neil yelled back "That's because it is all the same song." I always liked that. I don't change what the work is about from week to week. It has always been about the same thing: Experiencing the space around us.

rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 18 October 2006 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

marci washington's cool and all, but a bit too dark.

also, lfam, the katz/steely dan comparison is so OTM it hurts.

trees (treesessplode), Thursday, 19 October 2006 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

Cheval Noir. not really a fan of her current work (way too digital) but the old shit really gets me. obviously owes a lot to Klimt & Mucha, but still dig it.

jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 19 October 2006 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

i guess it might be more appropriate to claim that steely dan is the alex katz of music

a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Thursday, 19 October 2006 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

def similarities to euclide in that - in the swirling lines, the many things on a landscape or in a form. some of the new, more digital work seems a bit rave-y, yeah. (and i realize i have an issue with the way she does faces.) but there's lots of beautiful stuff on her site, wow.
i love art. need to make a point to go see way more local stuff than i do.

rrrobyn, the situation (rrrobyn), Thursday, 19 October 2006 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

xpost - if we're really gonna do a steely dan of art, i'd say David Hockney. so LA

jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 19 October 2006 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

true

what do people think of diebenkorn? in his figurative mode he bears some similarity to katz and hockney although he is still so much more visual. i don't know if i've ever seen him as cerebral.

i don't mean this negatively, but are you guys only interested in photorealistic painting?

jaxon, Thursday, 24 April 2008 20:58 (seventeen years ago)

I don't post a lot of photorealism. On this thread in particular all I posted were some filmmakers and Alika Cooper. Though I think she works from film stills, so I guess she's sort of related to that world.

Penguin USA Paper, Thursday, 24 April 2008 21:15 (seventeen years ago)

funny

jeff, Wednesday, 30 April 2008 07:31 (seventeen years ago)

I thought the look that jaxon was talking about was photorealism too, but it is just that they all paint from photos, right? Even when they don't just copy the photo exactly, no matter how much they tweak it the viewer gets the impression that it could have just been done with a filter in photoshop. The style or genre or whatever turns me off, too.

i like this artist a lot. we own two of his original pieces, and want more. this isn't my favorite of his by any means, but it's all i can find online (that's publicly available, at least).

seems very much like basquiat. maybe too much, but i still like his work a lot.

who is it?

sorry i missed this question a month ago. his name is joe "ressarts" strasser ("ressarts," his trade name, is his surname spelled backwards, an obvious point that escaped my wife and i for years). we just bouht three more of his original pieces tonight. i love them.

here's his facebook page. among the pieces we recenely bought is yellowman, shown on this page (if you can get there without befriending him).

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 16 April 2010 02:53 (fifteen years ago)

uhhhh . . . "bought," not "bouht."

Daniel, Esq., Friday, 16 April 2010 02:53 (fifteen years ago)

here's another we bought tonight (again, apologies if the links don't work; they're to the artist's facebook page, and i don't know if it's open access). anyway, you can't see the full piece in the picture. it's painted on an old door, so it's narrow and about 7 feet high, divided into a series of cells.

a friend is trying to get us to do the wynwood gallery night walk. we'll go, but lately i'm much more interested in the folk/outsider art that i've seen lately than the "high" art (or "higher" art) in the wynwood/coral gables galleries.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 18 April 2010 21:35 (fifteen years ago)

the "high" art (or "higher" art) in the wynwood/coral gables galleries

meh. this may greatly overstate the quality of the work in these galleries. i dunno.

Alexander Lobanov. From Wiki: "(1924–2003) was a deaf and autistically withdrawn Russian known for detailed and self-aggrandizing self-portraits: paintings, photographs and quilts, which usually include images of large guns"

http://matandogueros.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/lob11.jpg

A little violent or menacing, obv. But also kind of riviting work, especially when you view a bunch of his pieces to see the common themes.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 25 April 2010 03:44 (fifteen years ago)

nice.

scott seward, Sunday, 25 April 2010 03:53 (fifteen years ago)

this one comes much closer to the line of acceptable art for me. still, worth investigating. also interesting because repressed sexuality or hidden sexual obsessions form the basis for some of the more interesting art i've seen. with that background, again wiki:

Miroslav Tichý (b. 1926) wandered the small Moravian town of Kyjov in rags, pursuing his obsession with the female form by secretly photographing women in the streets, shops and parks with cameras he made from tin cans, children's spectacle lenses and other junk he found on the street. He would return home each day to make prints on equally primitive equipment, making only one print from the negatives he selected. His work remained largely unknown until 2005, when he was 79 years old.

http://www.viennafair.at/wku/2008/nt/images/galerie/orginal/127.jpg

anyway, like i said, this one may cross a line for me, since the women photographed didn't give their consent to be the focal point of published art. apologies if it offends.

really enjoyed that two-coats-of-paint post about jean-michel basquiat. basquiat's type of art -- which i, probably wrongfully, refer to as "street art" (tho, obv., basquiat is a master artist) -- is so much more interesting than highbrow contemporary art.

jeff, Sunday, 24 October 2010 22:50 (fifteen years ago)

I think it might be a new gallery - I had never heard the name before. It was a nice space -- large, open first floor, smaller, segmented second floor good for smaller works (I don't know if the particular partition of the second floor was designed for the show or not).

Bobby Short, Wayne Shorter (Hurting 2), Sunday, 24 October 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)
