Check it out, it won't take long.

mdler, that stuff is so bizarre... i like it!!!

cris

his stuff is AMAZING...you really dont hear much about him, though

this one is particularly haunting

I've been more and more interested in installation art for the past years...
Sloterdijk (sorry for spelling) has a nice chapter about it, explaining that it's probalby the only medium able today to represent with the same power as painting had before the development of photography.
Anyway, everybody probably knows him, but I love Olafur Eliasson's work:


and I just saw a great exhibit by Dominique Gonzalez Foster, with a great installation called "cosmodrome"...

the cosmodrome:

i love Dali too. But the Surrealist/Dadist that really blows my noodle is de Chirico - find his work very spatial.


For inspiration...and just great company, I love the paintings of Nicole Johnson

Gregory Crewdson..

I was at her studio last night eating finger food and swilling water.

Gregory Crewdson is quite good.

Agreed, Crewdson is great. Saw a show of his years ago in N.Y.

i got a few awesome pieces from Phoenix First Friday i will post soon

great stuff keep it coming. art culture revolution enlightenment towards enbrightenment

Hopper seems to be all over the news these days. Slideshow in the New Yorker.

yeah, thanks to everyone who's posted images. great stuff.

also, you guys might know, but a while back i was flipping through this book that i found pretty cool. it was just photographs of normal people in normal situations, but with weird things going on. like there was this one shot of a bunch of ladies sitting around a table drinking tea or something. looks normal, except for the fact that there was some kind of alien pod on the table. i remember it being really bizarre but i liked it. reminded me of cremaster, but i don't think it's barney. i even remember the format of the book. it was probably around 6 x 9, landscape format. does it ring a bell?

slantsix- I LOVE the peter calleson stuff! I'd never seen it before, but it's so lovely and intricate, and occasionally even clever.

wow, that is really cool stuff afrdzak, especially that last one.

Thomas Kinkade...it is as though he is painting the way Jesus would have painted had he gone to painter school instead of carpenter school

My type of art is Music, anything that Rocks....
I play guitar so I have a big passion for any type of music with bad ass guitar parts....

I am into flavored pills threading on adrienne rich and gustav klimts golden locks singing like jill scott or some hot badu and bopping heads to great speakers/designers like murcutt and edgy archi pop stars like BIG then rolling to the other B.I.G yes straight from nyc into anything from francesca woodman to the venus of villendorf... but i may mispelled that... i think i am just into art... art art and more art...

Can someone tell me how to import images in a response?

look down there below the 'post a response' box...the
image has to be hosted somewhere on the web..but once it is you can link to it.

Agnes Martin:

The little lady and I were antiqueing in Bay City, MI and ran across a Georges Braque print The Table, which is hand imbellished and signed. It didn't look like much of anything to me, but we bought it for $45 (down from the asking price of $60). When we got it home, we found a tag on the back showing that it had been on display in the 1940s in the Saginaw Museum of Art, and had been bought originally (in 1938) for $44.50. It has a few scratches and the frame is a mess, but the gallery she works at has an excellent restoration department, and they should do a good job. Here is a picture...



She also buys art from local artists and whenever we travel. I have some of her drawings and photography hanging in my office, and my parents bought one of her drawings as well. She is a better artist than she thinks. At one point she talked of buying a piece from her thesis advisor (A Cranbrook alum.) but never did.

I think it's important to support the local scene.
