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.

Malena Bozzini         Malena Bozzini is a sophomore college student studying psychology. As her passion she is an artist. Her work is so original and abstract in order to dramatize her figures. She creates art out of emotion and uses her feelings to choose color and shape. One of the most interesting facts is that all of her pieces are done with colored pencils. Her art is so expressive that each piece gives out its own vibe. What makes her art unique is that it is inspired by motion and gestures. It is amazing how she developed such a style at such a young age.  Instagram @ malenabozzini
