Carl & Ana: Art, Suicide, Murder, Belief

Or, how Mathew Barney is guilty of the murder of Ana Mendieta. “Maya, Maya, these are not the same things, Maya. Sex criminals and Matthew Barney and O. J. Simpson and Carl Andre and the Prophets — these are not the same thing. But what I’m saying is that they’ve become the same thing to […]

New Art: (#36) The Little Mermaid

In this image I just went about it by making lines in black and white and goring over them and seeing what emerged, but keeping in ambiguous and not trying to make it into anything concrete. The foreground and background shift, and there are overlapping and intersecting parts. If you look at it for a […]

New Art: (#35) Untitled in B&W

The previous 4 pieces I did were digital impasto, and incorporating some 3D modeling. For a little break I decided to do something only using drawing. For this kind of drawing, of which I’ve done several in this series, I just use one brush in Photoshop, and I switch between black and white. It allows […]

What is Real in Art?

What is Real in Art: With a Revaluation of Brian Ashbee’s Infamous “Art Bollocks” So much of the art of the recent past can be seen as attempts to get away from mere images, and confront the viewer with the real… ~ Brian Ashbee, 1999. The real in art is the evidence of self-awareness, or […]

New Art: (#34) Upon Death the Mutant Sees God.

This is a bit of a new direction I’m exploring in the last several pieces. It’s pushing my imagery from my usual digital impasto into full-on bas relief with digital impasto. This one started as a 3D model, which you would have seen if you follow me on Facebook. Here’s some early work on the […]

Shitting on Michelangelo Makes YOU Great!

In the room the women come and go shitting on Michelangelo. Today’s offense comes from artnetnews, and is about a conceptual artist who figured out how to cut Michelangelo down to size, while elevating himself to mammoth proportions. The idea behind the conceptual artwork above is that status changes, and what was once grand is […]

No Hands Art and De-Skilled Art!

Don’t you know about No Hands art and de-skilled art? … No cutting-edge artist touches materials anymore, or instruments. Be just a little patient and indulge me, in which case you’ll find out where that quote comes from soon enough, and what I think of it. I was recently on a vacation in Kampot from […]

What is the Purpose of Visual Art?

The purpose of science is to explore the universe, make discoveries, and bring back evidence: and the purpose of visual art is to explore the visual imagination, make discoveries, and bring back evidence (visual evidence). Maybe a more goofy analogy would be more direct and memorable: You are the Captain of the Art-ship Enterprise, and […]

Trip and Evidence I’m Human

When people read some of my more seemingly irascible rants written about a topic like the travesty to the visual imagination that is the 100th anniversary of the Holy Grail that is Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountain”, and before the caffeine from my first sips of coffee have bathed my neurons, I wonder what sort of curmudgeon […]

New Art: (#33) Death of an Android

Impasto liquid metal paint. Notice how some brush strokes carve into the Android head. If you don’t know my work, this is digital. This is a new direction I’m exploring, and you might expect some more offerings in a similar vein. The technique is something I’m developing on my own and can be a little […]
