The Art Thread

[V.V.V.V.V.]

TBH I'm not really very interested in classic art pieces, you'd need to drag Susperia back for that. I have a few favorites though:

Terry Winters

H.R. Giger

Sam Francis

Jackson Pollock

Richard Rosenblum

Sigmar Polke

Probably more...and these aren't necessarily my favorite pieces by the respective artists (I randomly picked a Winters piece for example, and the Sam Francis piece I hold in highest regard is "Flash Point" but I can't find a picture of it for some reason). But yeah I don't expect many people to care for the stuff I like, and the reason I like it is rather inexplicable. I like it because I think it looks interesting and engaging.

Jackson pollock was an incredible artist.
Also, that Rosenblum piece is great to.

V5, your an artist right?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

In more than one way, yes.

 

[panzerfaust666]

Cool man. Any place I can see some pieces? Besides Ichorus, Im already well aware and a fan of that.

As a disclaimer, I don't draw often at all.

 

[panzerfaust666]

Wow man, Im quite impressed. Especially those Sketches and Decollages. ( not sure how to spell that)

I like Mike Bohatch.

 

[Pessimism]

I'm a big fan of art in general (although I loathe the Rococo period).

Recent (last 100 years) artists/exhibits that have caught my attention though are Zdzisław Beksiński & Gregory Colbert.

The below works influenced me greatly during my art heyday. They probably even influence my writings, even down to poems and even album reviews. Art inlfuences my life. I live for it, in it's various guises. Expression is the ultimate ability.

Brett Whiteley: Self Portait

Brett Whiteley: Arkie In The Shower

Frank Lloyd Wright: Falling Water

Jaume Huguet: St George and the Princess

JW Waterhouse: Ulysses and the Sirens (I own a print of this, its gorgeous)

And this, probably the most influential art work on my whole life. I was obsessed with it for years!

Salvador Dali: Metamorphosis of Narcissus

Peter Howson. A modern Scottish artist. He's really cool

Hubster's avatar for a while, before he switched back to Nortt.

 

[mutantllama]

Now I remember!

 

[Zephyrus]

I'm a fan of classical and medieval art and architecture. Beyond that, I'm not really into it, especially the modern stuff.

 

[mutantllama]

I like interesting art.
