Favorite artist/artwork

[Sam]

I just came back from a trip and during that trip I had a very interesting experience.

I have never been much of an art fan so to speak. I have a few artists that I like, but I have artwork only from two artists. I never had any sort of experience like I have heard many talk about having upon seeing certain works or certain artists' works. I had seen Dali's work and Picasso's (and have now seen them in person rather than in a book) but never had any real emotional response to them. That changed this past week when I had the chance to meet a man named Ken Shotwell. He is an artist who works with several different styles and has been working for quite some time. Most of his work has been outside of the US though and he is not well know here. I feel very fortunate to have met him. He was very cordial, somewhat quiet and reserved.

His work is a different story. It literally grabbed me and held me in it's thrall. If I could have afforded one of his works, I absolutely would have walked out with one. He surpasses every artist I have ever seen before, and I mean every artist. The quality of his work is superb, stunning, inspiring, and breathtaking. I look forward to the day I can own one of his works. Here are a few samples of his work. It is a collage of four of his works put into one to save space. Enjoy.

Who is YOUR favorite artist? Post an example of their work.

These are fantastic.
My favorite artist is MC Escher.

[Daghain]

We should probably stick it in the Art Wall, I'll just have to get someone to move it there. :D

My favorite artist (besides Michael Whelan, of course) is Michael Goddard. He does the coolest martini-themed pictures and they're a total crack up.

DBF bought me this one for my birthday a few years ago (notice her little shadow in the background)

Here's some more samples of his work:

My brother is a huge Escher fan too. That's some great work Dags. It reminds me of some I saw last week that was themed around poker and Harley Davidson. The artist was Scott Jacobs. I think you'd like it.

[Daghain]

This is turning out to be a really cool thread.

Another of my favorite artists, Michael Parkes (WTF is it with all the Michaels?)

I had this one for years - I finally passed it on to someone else:

One of the (few) cool cultural things living here in the "Tampa Bay area" is the Salvador Dali museum across the bridge in St. Petersburg. I can't wait to take Ella there.

Another of my favorite artists is Stanley Donwood. Donwood is a close friend of Radiohead's Thom Yorke and has done all of their album and poster artwork since 1994's My Iron Lung EP.

Some of my favorite covers he's done...

Though it's an actual painting and not a calendar. .

Then there's another of my fav's, H.R. Giger. .

[jayson]

Then there's another of my fav's, H.R. Giger. .

I also love Giger. I'm not the kind of player that would really want an Ibanez guitar, but from a sheer aesthetic point of view, this Giger signature series one is pretty damn cool...

http://www.hrgiger.com/images/Ibanez_new.jpg

[obscurejude]

:lol: Its hard to imagine anything but death metal coming from that guitar. It looks cool though, and you could stab people with the headstock if the moshing got out of hand.

[Daghain]

That is pretty sweet. And Giger rocks. :thumbsup:

[jayson]

Yeah, it's much more of a "hang on the wall" guitar than a playing guitar for the kind of music I play, but it is one of the cooler looking customized paint jobs I've ever seen. If I were Buckethead, I'd play something that looked like that for sure.

Ah, this is the guy who does art work for Tool, isn't it?
Slap me if I'm wrong, but the name rings a bell, and evidently the pictures do, too!

One of my favourite artists has to be Christopher Shy:
http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv205/alisha_riley/ronin.jpg
His work is just beautiful.

Rembrandt is another at the top, but he's a highly obvious choice!
The Rembrandt museum in Amsterdam is one of the most wonderful places I've ever visited. It's stunning. :)

http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv205/alisha_riley/artblog-23-old-man-rembrandt-smk.jpg

^one of my favourite paintings by him, yet I'm not sure why. It's certainly not the greatest, but it just really draws me in.

[jayson]

Tool has used Alex Grey's work, that is correct. He did the cover for the album Lateralus as well as designing the stage setup for that tour. I believe some of his work was used on future tours as well.

They also have used the artwork of Adam Jones in many videos. Jones' work has some similarities with HR Giger's.

PS. I don't slap new members. Stick around, maybe someday but not today. :P

Another of my favorite artists is Dave Dorman. This one adorns my bedroom wall.

Its companion piece is in my office.

This one has a remarque of an X-wing fighter done by Dorman (not this picture, this is just off the net) when I bought it from him.

I wonder what about that art could appeal to Sam. :orely: :lol:

[Heather19]

One of the (few) cool cultural things living here in the "Tampa Bay area" is the Salvador Dali museum across the bridge in St. Petersburg. I can't wait to take Ella there.


Dali is one of my favorites, and I absolutely love that place. I could spend forever in there. My sister used to live in the Tampa area, and the first time I went down there to visit her I insisted that we had to take a trip over there. It's so much better seeing them in person.

And here is one of my favorite paintings by him
Girl With Curls
http://www.salvadordalimuseum.org/collection/images/91GirlwithCurls_000.jpg

[jayson]

It's so much better seeing them in person.


Indeed it is. The last time we were in NYC we went to the MoMA and Dali's Persistence of Memory is there. I couldn't believe how small it was. I always thought it was much bigger than it actually is. Seeing how small it was only made it cooler. :)

[Sam]

Might that be the Star Wars connection?

Definitely. It adds another whole level of appreciation.
I also loved all the gigantic ones there like The Hallucinogenic Toreador, or Galacidalacidesoxiribunucleicacid. I had no idea those were as large as they are. I have a smaller print of the second one hanging on my wall but it just doesn't do it justice.

[Sam]

I know exactly how you guys feel. The past week I saw genuine Dalis, Picassos, Rembrandts, and several other "masters". By and far I much prefered seeing the Shotwell paintings more than the others.

[alinda]

My favorite artist? Easy......Maxfield Parrish hands down.
http://americanart.si.edu/eyelevel/images/parrish.jpg

[Sir_Boomme]

well... i'm an art fan of all types, i like surrealism of dali. the pop art of roy lichtenstein, andy warhol, and sculptor george segal to name a few.

more modern artists - i've always liked patick nagel...which i own one original ....

I forgot about Patrick Nagel. :thumbsup:

[educatedlady]

That Nagel picture reminds me of the cover of Rio from Duran Duran.

[Sam]

:rock: I just got a book that I ordered of Shotwell's work through Amazon and damn if the book wasn't hand signed by Shotwell himself.:rock:

[Sir_Boomme]

That Nagel picture reminds me of the cover of Rio from Duran Duran.


ha ha - you mean this one?
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/6189/nagel2ez8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

yeah, the nagel is the one most expensive item in all my book and art collection.

[educatedlady]

That's the one. Is it the same artist?

[Sir_Boomme]

yep,same artist, nagel was the artist of the 80's...you couldn't walk into hair stylist shop without seeing a poster of his work on the wall.
that's one of his catalogs on the table.
it lists my painting on page 70. unlike the signed prints so commonly seen that sale for hundreds, the original paintings usually sale for 12 to 36 grand. this one is about a mid level appraisal.i've had it for about 8 years, and i've actually been thinking about purchasing another one i know of.

[educatedlady]

Very cool. It is nice work.

[Sam]

I wish I could afford to buy an original. Like you said Sir Boomme, they range in the ten-twenty thousands. I am greatly enjoying the book though. I get to see so many works and have found that one or two works that I enjoyed over the years turn out to be by the same artist. Holy co-ink-e-dinks Batman!

[Darkthoughts]

I have alot of artists that I like, but more that I like random pieces from. Like this from Paul Ranson:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c39/towerjunkie19/art/appletree.jpg

[Whidden]

I like some of Mark Ryden's stuff.

He has some creepy weird ones that I don't like, too bloody, but the ones like this one have just the right amount of oddness that makes me feel spooky without seeing any gore.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/Whidden/mark_ryden.jpg

[Sir_Boomme]

i think you mean mark ryden... and i too like his paintings a lot...a very weird surrealism with just the right amount of twisted humor thrown in.... and a very slick painting style.

[Darkthoughts]

That's awesome, I'd not seen his work before :thumbsup:

[Whidden]

Yeah, sorry, meant Mark. I edited the post up top.

I think I like his art because it just looks odd, and it looks creepy, but also he adds all kind of little mysteries in the paintings that make me scratch my head, thinking "what the hell?!?!"

:orely: Like that one up top, the chipmunk headed yellow chick has her left eye all big and her other eye small, and the deer headed red chick has her right eye big and the other one small.

What's it mean? I have no clue. And they all have triangle shapes on the dresses, some upside down, some not, some with a line in them.

A lot of his paintings have trees in them, one had a baby being born or still hooked up to a tree. I found that one disturbing.

I like about 25% of what he does, the rest I'm too sqeamish, the imagery gives me a headache.


I think he read Dark Tower though, because I found one of Shardik (not really, ha ha), and there is even a dark tower rose near tower like tree stump.

Thanks for posting some of his stuff. I looked him up the other night after I saw that first picture. He's definitely got some interesting pieces.

Wow! Yeah, right on with the creepiness! I bet he'd do an amazing Charlie The Choo Choo!

[Merlin1958]

I have to say that, after getting a few "Remarques" from Mr. Chadbourne and his subsequent work on the "NS" cases, I have a very healthy appreciation of his artistic talents, more so than before. I especially like his "Colored" work. The guy is good!!! And he is a machine!!!!

Via auction I was able to acquire two paintings by my favorite artist, Robert Addison, whose art I used in my Second Coming prototype.

The first is Back Window , oil on canvas, 18" x 22" completed in 1948 while Mr. Addison was a student at the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a view from the apartment he shared with Leroy Nieman.

The second is Suppertime, gouache on board, 22" x 14" completed in 1982.
