fuzzy things: July 2011

My intentions when making this post were to help me determine future directions for my art. So, if I am too critical of one of the following works don't be offended.

-The works by Annie Lapin drew my attention because of their ability to play with negative and positive space. I see some type of water form in the lower left corner but then all the sudden the same relative colors are forming a figure. What is more, the figure is recognizable even though it has been almost completely abstracted. I am also intreged by the patterning that the artist uses. The brush work feels as if it is done quickly and swiftly. This gives more energy to the piece.

- All I can say about the work of Mr. Goolsby from only looking at this piece is that I like the sketchbook quality of his image.

-The work of Dean Monogenis is confusing to me. It looks very illustrative due to it's simplification of dimension. I am interested by the patterning that is evolving in the flatness. I am also interested in this wierd play I am seeing between geometric and organic marks.

-Sadovsky's work remins me of a lot of the work I have recently been looking at. At the moment I'm not sure what to say about her wok. I think her colors are sort of interesting in that they are very illustrative. I love all the overlying of pattern. I should come back to this when I figure out what intests me so much by her work. Look her name up on google to see more of her work.

- I like Hugo's way of visually playing with the idea of a story within a story. What I mean is he is opening discussion to ideas about what is real. I really want to bring that into my work.

- Formally Francis is a great painter. he is doing a great job of making painting about painting but also creating an image.

-James Jean has great line quality in all of his work. He has a great jesture.

-I am intersted in Yeon's works. I'm not sure what I want to say about them yet though. I guess they are very bodily.

-There is a patheticness to this painting by Lisa Sanditz. But I am loving the patheticness of it!

-Bohac: I love how the image only makes sense for one second intervals. After that, another space forms. There is a great play with patern, flatness, and depth.

-This work by Saddo is just very amusing to me. I admire artists that can make their work humorous.

-Seth Armstong, I stopped to look at your works because they are technically impressive. What is with the woman looking like they just got assaulted though?

-Kim is amazing when it comes to giving the viewer just enough information to understand what is going on but still leave space in the image. Also the artist is mastering space and the play between negative and possitive.
