A Car Crash…
It’s kind of true in a way; you can’t take your eyes off one if you see it. James Roper has drawn it.
Be sure to check out his paintings too.
Ghostly reminders…
Some haunting abstract landscapes from Brooks Shane Salzwedel. Would really love to know how the foggy, photographic effect seen in these images is produced with graphite, resin and tape; but techniques aside, the online folio is worth a browse. (Just wish the images were a little bigger!)
ブルックス シェーン サルズウェッデルさんのアート。空想的でちょっと幽霊が出そうな雰囲気の融合。黒墨、ニスとテープで作ったそうですが見ても全然分かりませんね。とにかく素敵なフォリオ見てください。
Skulls…
Stephen Balleux likes to draw skulls. And he does them very well.
ステファンバールさんは骸骨の絵を書く事が、お好きなようです。上手ですね。kokoda.
By the way…ところで
Do you know Akira Yamaguchi? Well, ever since my landlord showed me a collection of his epic paintings in a book it’s haunted me day and night. Check the book out here.
山口晃さん知っていますか？私の借りてるスタジオのボスが教えてくれました。その時からずっと衝撃を受けてます。是非この本を見てください。kokoda.
The Garden of Painting…
The National Museum of Art in Osaka is having an exhibition gathering the best of the ‘new figurative’ painters : Garden of Painting, Japanese Art of the 00′s. That’s a mouthful. Besides the staple sinister from Nara Yoshimoto, there is some great stuff from O Jun and Aida Makoto. Have a peek at the catalog here. Just wish I could go…
