Comments Off on Carsten HollerArt
Carsten Höller makes things I can hardly understand. I guess I can more understand them as objects but how he makes them and how he arrives at the decision to make them is much more a mystery to me. He has a doctorate in biology and you can see the scientific mind at work in his art. One thing is certain, everything he makes is definitely high art.

The animated gif I posted last week got such a huge response that I figured I would start posting one here and there. I first peeped this one at Dropular.

Comments Off on Nienke KlunderPhotography
Nienke Klunder is a really incredible photographer who tells stories basically through what you could call a photo-essay or series. Each is unique, powerful and runs the gamut for emotional range. The series above is simply titled, ‘Sequence 5’ and is really amazing. The images are undeniably thought provoking and really dive headlong into some interesting aspects of the human condition in the context of modern social norms and culture.
About Nienke from her site:
“Nienke Klunder Born in California in 1975 and raised in the Netherlands, Nienke Klunder holds dual Dutch and US citizenship. A graduate of the Breda Fine Art Academy, she participated in the residency program at Fabrica, Benettons Research and Communications Centre in Treviso. Known for her striking photographic portraits and thought provoking series and sequences, she has a multi-disciplinary approach to her work in producing sculptures, drawings and installations of both her solo and collaborative projects. Working mainly in sequences and series, she often uses self-portraiture to explore themes of identity and transformation. Her series are visual essays that are in turn comic, tragic, sexual and political. Moving between the roles of photographer and subject, her work has the effect of a series of cinematic stills with each image containing a larger story. During her time in Italy she met Spanish designer Jaime Hayon with whom she embarked upon an artistic collaboration that continues to evolve across a range of mediums.”

Comments Off on Wonderland ExitArt
The photo-artwork of Gena Morgese is rather indescribable. It’s an image based exercise in storytelling and is without a doubt art. The familiarity is twisted into something new that forces the viewer to reconsider their perception.

There is a really good body of work in the portfolio of French studio PNTS, not the least of which is a series of really cool geometric symmetrical layouts using old school bodybuilding photographs. Nothing like Arnold in the 70s.

Comments Off on Amy CaseyArt
Painter Amy Casey has generated some really unusual paintings. The thing you notice after getting over the interesting imagery and composition is the really controlled color palette.
Comments Off on Afternoon Love InPhotography
Damien Rudd has some really nice imagery in his photography portfolio both at his website and in his Flickr-folio. There is a lyrical dreamy quality about his work that is like a warm summer breeze. That sounded so super duper cheesey that it was kind of awesome, but seriously that is kind of what it’s like.
