It is no wonder  that Ian Norbury should work with wood, a raw material that is so tactile, warm and sensual. It can also be hard and unforgiving, but with Ian this is a true union of man and material, the one complementing the other to the greatest possible effect.

a facebook friend on mine : As a child growing up in northern New Jersey, Larry Carlson spent a lot of time drawing and began to keep a sketchbook at an early age. His artist’s attention has always been captivated by both nature and technology.

Hannablue:” dance, art, or genius? “

The Garden Of Eros
IT is full summer now, the heart of June,
Not yet the sun-burnt reapers are a-stir
Upon the upland meadow where too soon
Rich autumn time, the season’s usurer,
Will lend his hoarded gold to all the trees,
And see his treasure scattered by the wild and spendthrift breeze.

Sensual, and almost sinister at the same time…

“An inventor finds meaning to his life. However, he learns that happiness is something that cannot be manufactured. “
Director and animator Mark Osborne

Impressing clip… so beautiful … Andy Huang is a student? Looks like he should be the teacher. Somebody hire him, quick! His animation is perfectly convincing, the sound effects are first-rate, the editing and compositing are smoother than a baby’s butt, and the social commentary is ironic bordering on profound. Outstanding work.

Alberto Seveso is a graphic designer and illustrator. His work is the product of a skillful electronic manipulation of photographs- some he’s taken, some he’s gotten from other photographers, and some he’s bought.

Lucian Freud: “At the outset there is always a mystery. We cannot know what a painter brought to painting or what drew him to it. Yet everything he paints throughout his life adds to our understanding of one or both these things.

Donatello (1386-1466) left behind him so much work through the world that it may rightly be asserted that no artist worked so hard as he.” He set his hand, adds Vasari, to everything, and an epitaph praises him for having done “alone today all that with a skilful hand numbers had once done for sculpture.”

Wim Vandekeybus evokes a dramatic effect by juxtaposing plastic movement, music and scenography. Thus, according to one critic, the performance entitled What the Body Does Not Remember (1987) was distinguished by “a brutal conflict of dance and music, by a bellicose, aggressive landscape, which showed what the body really did not remember”.

As an artist, I had long been interested in the universal power and necessity of religious ritual and its theatrical qualities. Until a few years ago, I was known as a sculptor and performance artist. Primarily, I created large scale “environmental installations” in which I performed “religious rituals” as performance art.

“I created this series of canvases using ancient Chinese painting as a model. Each piece is composed using ancestral techniques.” However, as one approaches the work it becomes evident that Li’s content is contemporary.

The art of Dirk Westphal will appeal to a large audience, his work is detailed, shows accessible scenery and is near technical perfection. This doesn’t mean his work is superficial. It’s quite layered and some images, especially his drawn collages, are revealing eroticism from a very personal perspective.

Greta Buysse loves mise en scène, accumulating and associating, a hint of Baroque, tension, retro. Sometimes she cherishes apparently worthless things, but with a whole life behind them, and she integrates them in a work of art. With a cautious, groping sensitivity she often in an inimitable way records the [...]

The art of Ted Fusby is clearly intended for a gay audience, it contains mainly male nudes and gay erotic scenes. Most of his work displays the male form in an exaggerated, nearly cartoonish way, combined with a quite tactile approach of the used media.

His imaginary world is full of incredibly sexy women, ranging from a highly seductive Vampire lady to a wonderful water Nymph. Most of his work is build around established fantasy theme’s, with some original variations on the subject. Besides his fantasy women there’s also an abundant collection of religious themed images. Like a female Christ, [...]

Tarkovski: “Juxtaposing a person with an environment that is boundless, collating him with a countless number of people passing by close to him and far away, relating a person to the whole world, that is the meaning of cinema.”
