new abstract art paintings - paper cut series

    i started a new series of original abstract art paintings last month and i’m calling this series my paper cut series.. hubby came in to my studio one day when i was working on the second painting shown below (him coming into my studio when i am painting is well... basically FORBIDDEN) - so he comes in and he hands me an envelope from a friend he thought i’d want to open -- which i did.. but i still peered over my glasses with my ’you know you aren’t suppose to be in here look’ --- so i very impatiently slide my finger in and rip into it and gave myself a wicked paper cut on my index finger on my right hand. i cursed... hubby laughed... and i threw a paint brush at him
    anyhooo.. i’ve done quite a few works in this series already. it’s been a lot of fun and i’m really enjoying them - hope u like them.

Hendrik Kerstens: The distant view of the other


    Hendrik Kerstens is one of those artists who have managed to develop a career seemingly concentrating on one subject throughout the years. In his case, the model has been his daughter Paula. How different is she as a subject because of being his daughter? Not very. Which is as powerful a revelation as any. After all, one would expect some closeness, some special insight. Nothing of the sort. What we get is a serious young lady, as serious now as she was on the pictures being only a few years old. A gaze that refuses to talk. Our only partner in dialogue seems to be the light that paints the face gently, yet at least on surface, without the love one would expect. We see all the Vermeers and other 17th-century Flemish painters participate in this creation, yet this, here, is darker, less inviting. It doesn't pretend that something can come out of this encounter. Nothing more than a picture, a gaze, a world that is forever there, for us to admire, but not to discover.Source URL: https://tattoosnyong.blogspot.com/2008/03/

Valentine's

    I found this at Happy Famous Artists. It was dated February 14. How come this seems fine on Valentine's Day, but has something offensive about it today?
    Maybe it's because VD is for the individual, while today is for the group. And so, today it implies that this is the value I find important in a woman. While on February 14, it is about this one individual being gorgeous. Yet, isn't there something disturbing even about this appearing on Valentine's? The fact that what we celebrate is beauty?
    Beauty. Can't live with it, but would have a hard time ignoring it either.Source URL: https://tattoosnyong.blogspot.com/2008/03/
