Back in October of last year, I visited the Toledo Art Museum and discovered the artist, Ralph Albert Blakelock, who I instantly fell in love with. He sadly spent many years in a mental institution. Tonight I reviewed his work online.  This is the first painting I discovered of his at the Toledo Art Museum.

This by British artist Julian Merrow-Smith. She paints one painting a day. I really love this one.  While in the library to scan some textbook material for my class, I quickly flipped through the recent copy of Artforum Magazine. Found a beautiful picture of the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers located in Germany. This church is an amazing representation of late Baroque, one of my favorite periods. Afterward, I searched online for more pictures.    Then I found an article and picture featuring the artwork of the filmmaker Derek Jarman. I did not realize he had created works like this series that used unconventional mediums such as tar and other mixed media. I really like them.    While surfing the web tonight, I discovered this amazing painter.        Last year in the Fort Wayne's art museum, I saw a large photo by Kirsty Mitchell. My mom said that she is now having a current solo show, so I decided to explore her work more. I really love her constructed realities and the different textures.     Found this picture of Ogre from Skinny Puppy and was immediately inspired.  Today I found information on Scherenschnitte, a 16th-century Swiss-German folk-art tradition. It got my wheels turning. I had never heard of Hobo Art until I ran across the term in an article. My artist friends wants to use cardboard in his artwork. This led me to explore pictures. Saw these unusual "mud and mineral balls" in a store in Asheville, North Carolina. I can't remember the correct name for them, but absolutely love them.   Today while surfing the net I found these inspiring photos. |
