Emmanuel Polanco. Another crazy collage maker. Inventive. Fun. Sometimes insightful.

Cecil Williams
29 10 2012Cecil Williams. This is an artist who loves his subjects. Some of the work is nostalgic, even sentimental but it has the ring of truth about it. As if Williams were introducing you to his neighbours. I love the naivety in it. Love the story telling. Wish that I felt this way.

Wolfgang Dieter Bauer
28 10 2012Wolfgang Dieter Bauer. The wealthy. The young. Healthy. Moments in a day for those who can afford to lounge. I don’t know if this is social commentary. Or if Bauer loves this world. There is no paranoia. No fear that it could suddenly end. Nothing joyous or passionate. Everything seems cool. Aloof. Matter of fact.

Carmelo Canales
27 10 2012Carmelo Canales. His work on first glance reminds me of the early work of Ed Kuris. Portrait paintings. From the inside. But he also uses a collage affect with his painting. Maps. Like journeys in the minds of his subjects. The work is very controlled. With large flat spaces of blank colours. Its very dramatic.

Thomas Saliot
25 10 2012Thomas Saliot is a wonderful artist. His work is fascinating. His story lines are provocative. Some of his work is sexual. My only complaint is that the women, the streets the stories all seem to come out of “Vanity” or like magazines. Things are too pristine.
And I just love this song.

Michael Meyersfeld
25 10 2012You sometimes run across artists who are ‘professionals’. I hate the term. There are no professional artists. We’re all amateurs. But there are people like Meyersfeld who can make a living at art. And his work is very professional. And there are stories in his work which make them especially interesting to me.

Where is David Fromm?
18 10 2012I have been disabled. Attacked by forces that can only be described as a ‘tea party’ viciousness.

Ysabel LeMay
15 10 2012Ysabel LeMay. Beautiful work. A kind of quietness in her presentation. Her view of nature as being poetry is naive. At the same time it is very powerful. And her work rises above the ordinary visions of birds, bees and flowers.

You have to see it…
Perhaps the greatest response I have had to a blog is the blog I did on Rauzier. Sometimes you just want to cry. You see something that is so interesting. Intriguing. Something you never thought of. (Until you wife tells you what it reminds you of). Its called hyperphotos. Take some time at this sight and… (forgive me) you’ll blow your mind.
You must go to the sight to get the effects. You will not be disappointed.

There is an interesting interview with him in English.
His work reminds me of the Flemish painter Van Eyck.

Juan Barletta
30 10 2012Juan Barletta. Silly putty. Iconic porno poses. Picasso. Its all in the blender. Social commentary. The female form manipulated into horror film like images. As if Barletta had taken Penthouse and put it through a sausage machine.
