Unfinished Abstract ...But Coming Along Nicely


Abstract Unfinished 2011

I never know how my paintings will ultimately turn out.
Though I'd like to believe this is close to the end result ha ha, I know myself better than that! ;)

A FASCINATING LOOK AT A MANNIQUIN

I've always been intrigued by mannequins. In fact, I love love mannequins. There is an obvious mystique about them maybe because they are anthropomorphic (human-like). I see a quiet strength in mannequins (obviously quiet) though, I'm not sure why since they are not real.

But for contemporary artist and sculptor, Charles Ray's mannequins they are anything but perplexing and could easily be mistaken (given the right light) for human! At least physically...

What do you think of this art piece?

THE EARLY YEARS: CELEBRATING A FEMALE ABSTRACT ARTIST

Born in 1914 in the Siberian town of Chelyabinsk, abstract artist Esphyr Slobodkina offers a glimpse of abstract art in the first half of the twentieth century. With simple shapes, the observer sees the importance of line. The abstract artist uses intentional vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines and simple shapes to create movement or another visual effect.
