Lee Bontecou

By Anonymous

 The work of Lee Bontecou can only be described as incredibly intriguing.  The mix of dark space aesthetic and ominous ambiance creates a feeling of immense precaution yet it is inviting, like a dark cabin in the woods.




All of her wall mounted sculptures are welded together and create an illusion of a painting though it is actually 3d.  Every wall mounted sculpture is also unnamed, giving you as an observer creative freedom in interpreting its meaning.  

In cultural connection, I see influence in David Lynch's Dune as seen in the images below.

I also love her drawings.  She used soot accidentally made by adjusting her oxidization levels on her welder because she saw it as the perfect shade of black she needed to make what she envisioned.


I love her work and she's probably one of my favorite if not my favorite artists of all time and I recommend anyone check it out.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

By
This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

By Anonymous
 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
