04.11.2009 Art, Nudes, Sculpture

Artist: Lynn Christopher

Happy Art Friday, everyone. 🙂 This sculpture is by Lynn Christopher. The first image is the final bronze sculpture. The second and third are of the artist’s proof, cast in marble resin.

What I find amazing about this particular piece, “Surrender,” is how the heck is it standing up? It must be so precisely balanced. That in and of itself awes me. And then, there’s the beauty of the form. I love the woman’s hair. If you’d like to view more of Christopher’s work visit her website.

Have a fantastic weekend.

04.03.2009 Art, Glass, Sculpture

Artist: Michael R. Allison

Happy Art Friday! I love glass sculpture. Michael Allison combines industrial manufactured items, namely faucets, with the fluid shapes of blown glass. This is called “Sap.” I just love it.

This other piece is called “fire House.” Coincidentally, he works out of LA. 🙂 If you’d like to see more of his work or commission him for your very own glass faucet sculpture, go to his website, FluidGlassMovements.com . May the fun in your weekend flow like the sap from the sculpture above, or be fiery and exciting like the one below. 🙂

03.27.2009 Art, Orchids, Portraits

Happy Art Friday! Today I’m in an orchid mood. Still.

Remember Patrick Nagel (1945-1984)? He was very popular in the eighties. To the right is “Kristen.” I remember loving his artwork a lot, even if I never bought anything. It was so slick and “hip,” and everywhere you looked you saw his stuff. When I look at this it makes me think of Duran Duran, big hair, and sweat shirts with the collars ripped out so you could bare one shoulder. LOL

Now, back to that orchid thing…

The image to the left is a detail from “Pure Orchid,” by thickblackoutline. It reminds me of Nagel’s work, but I actually like it better. There’s still a solitary woman with big hair. The lines are clean, the colors subtle and simple. But I love this woman’s tattoos and that fact that she’s not wearing any panties. And believe it or not, this is from a t-shirt design, of all things! Buy it here.
