Pencil in one hand, perfection in the other.
March 4, 2011With his photorealistic (this one is for you baby!!) charcoal drawings, Robert Longo creates these dark and thoughtful pieces. I especially love his use of light and contrasts. It’s amazing how he can create shapes with barely notable shadows. Also the way he names his works gives them a slight ironic and darker meaning.

Screams from the past
January 18, 2011Some art has a timeless hush to it… These are quite unique this way. The tormented faces are all screams from the past “Franz Xaver Messerschmidt” who made them died in 1783 to be exact… but when just looking at them they could have been brand new…

Sadistic and Enchanting Animals
January 5, 2011Walton Ford has a show on at the moment, and it’s dazzling and terrifying at the same time. His huge watercolours are so detailed and beautifully made that it takes your breath away. He captures the animals in grotesque and honest situations, accompanied with gruesome stories from old colonial literature and folktales. They are filled with an ironic distance and a sharp comment on how we’ve treated animals though the years, but he’s abel to do this in a soft sarcastic whisper. He has almost outdone Audubon, an 19th century naturalist and painter, who has heavily inspired him to his very detailed and vintage style.
