I first noticed Ben Beaudoin’s crazy wild sculptures on FFFFound and then again over at Booooooom and realized I better get on the train and tell you about him and his unusual talent. Definitely someone to keep an eye on because I have little doubt he will produce something equally interesting in the future.
“An art-house circuit sensation, this feature-length documentary is visually arresting and possesses a clear, pro-environmental stance. Koyaanisqatsi is composed of nature imagery, manipulated in slow motion, double exposure or time lapse, juxtaposed with footage of humans’ devastating environmental impact on the planet. The message of director Godfrey Reggio is clear: humans are destroying the planet, and all of human progress is pointlessly foolish.”
Yes this is the full length version of this amazing film. I saw this in a film class in college and it blew the brain out of the back of my head. Probably better to watch it on Blue-ray if they have it. Amazing imagery.
Disturbing, yet still amazing art and photography from Gregori Maiofis. His gelatin silver prints look like they are over a hundred years old and feel that way as well, but beneath the surface of each something lingers and sticks in the subconscious.
Some really lovely and fun illustrations in the folio of L.A.-based illustrator Hsinping Pan.
Some interesting art with political undertones from Jesse Hazelip.
Really strange and interesting figural sculptures from the mind of artist Julie Tremblay, all constructed from varying materials. Amazing attention to form considering the difficult materials with which she works.
Hint: click on her name to start viewing her work.
Some pretty awesome updates at the never-disappointing Sacred Mountain, including the lovable strangeness pictured above.
Super realistic oil paintings that you just have to see to believe from the unquestionably talented painter Roberto Bernardi.
Who knew you could craft such totally original and absolutely bizarre art out of ceramic? Really cool work and totally unique work from Tomas Schneider.
Again, I was fairly sure I had written about Click for Art before but can’t seem to find it after searching through posts so I don’t want to miss mentioning it. Through the site you can purchase all kinds of artistic goods from some well known and some less known artists, illustrators and graphic designers. There is some really fantastic merchandise available at the site but a lot of it doesn’t come cheap so be prepared to burn a little hole in your pocketbook.
Strange and bizarre images fill the portfolio of photographer Holger Pooten. Things exploded, women pissing, bleeding, people about to be thrown and well you know, that kind of stuff. Crazy and hyper-surreal.
Dave Kinsey has put some photos up at Fecal Face of a show he did this summer in Italy and the paintings are just beautiful. His work has come so face and it is really stellar. I love his color palette and rendering style. His work just keeps getting better and it is a testament to the hard work he puts in. It makes me anxious to finally get into a house (which I am shopping for right now) so I have some space to start painting again.
Beautiful art from Kahori Maki. I would have relished the opportunity to stand in the gallery featuring the work above. Beautiful.
Exceptional photography by Joey Lawrence. Classic and refined imagery that you won’t forget.
