Society

“Society” by Anton Semenov.

I just love this piece and if you can’t tell at the bottom it says “Bigger fish eat the little ones.” This piece echoes how much societal norms, thoughts and ideas control most people. All these people could be free, could be happy, all they would need to do would be to let go. To stop holding onto so tight to the arms around them and yet they do not. They are able to collaborate in order to express their pain and suffering as a whole but to each of them it is not visible. All they see is the next person and how they grip the one beside them so tightly. There are a few hands free, trying to get out but they are smothered by the others, bound together in an everlasting struggle. Is this a moment in time or a time that never has a different moment, has it always been this way, or it is a onetime thing? This picture invokes so many questions and the simple use of hands and arms portrayed these messages and so many more. Leave a like if you liked this and comment your thoughts about the meaning behind it. 

Peace my peeps and enjoy this thought provoking piece! -DG

The Bigger Picture

Sorry my peeps, I was a bit under the weather recently but now I’m better. 

Today’s can be found at :

http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/01/rashad-alakbarov-paints-with-shadows-and-lights/

And the artist is Rashas Alakbarov from Azerbaijan and he has a fb page so you can check out more of his work!

I just love how he takes small parts and turns it into a bigger picture. He takes seemingly unimportant fragments and puts them together to make masterpieces using light. Just bask in these cool photos and imagine yourself sitting there and getting every piece in just the right place. 

Peace out my ever beautiful peeps! -DG

This piece is beautiful and sad. The music is perfect and the sketchiness that he decides to leaves adds further to his message. Just watch for yourself.

Here’s his website if you want to see more:

Eloy Morales

Eloy Morales art is awesome. Now I know that I say awesome a lot but this is simply spectacular stupendous epic work.  These may look like picture but no, they are not. They are in fact paintings.  How does he do it? This is what he has to say “Many people think that my work is based on details, but it is not that way… for me the secret is in the correct valuation of tones… tonal transition must be smooth to avoid abrupt cuts.”

What do you guys think? Awesome? Splendid? Ok? How do you feel about his work?

Shintaro Ohata

Hello there my peeps!

Today’s work is by the artist Shintaro Ohata. Here is a quick bio statement from his website:

http://yukari-art.jp/en/shintaro_ohata_en

 “Shintaro Ohata is an artist who depicts little things in everyday life like scenes of a movie and captures all sorts of light in his work with a unique touch: convenience stores at night, city roads on rainy day and fast-food shops at dawn etc. His paintings show us ordinary sceneries as dramas. He is also known for his characteristic style; placing sculptures in front of paintings, and shows them as one work, a combination of 2-D and 3-D world. He says that it all started from when he wondered “I could bring the atmosphere or dynamism of my paintings with a more different way if I place sculptures in front of paintings”. Many viewers tend to assume that there is a light source set into his work itself because of the strong expression of lights in his sculpture. His further steps have been noticed as he has been featured by lots of media from overseas, including a cultural magazine from the USA that featured him on their front cover and a long interview.”

The piece that I picked today is called “Starry Night” and I just love this for several reasons. First off, not everything in the picture is a painting even though it is made out to look that way. The use of the sculptures to work as the main subjects in the painting itself is genius. I find that it also creates more of a connection with different kinds of viewer because part of the painting is a 3-D object.

The final reason that I love this piece is because of how he took any ordinary back ground, something we may see every day and turned it into something beautiful. The beauty of the brush strokes and the application of the paint makes me want to weep but, not from sadness but from the beauty of it.

What do you guys think?

As ever, peace out my peeps! -DG
