01.16.2009 Art, Nudes, Photography

Artist: Dave Levinston

I think these photographs are simply beautiful. The artist is Dave Levinston. Check out more of his work at his website.

The contrast between the woman’s nude figure and the natural background (a bayou in Louisiana) is striking. I can’t help but wonder how uncomfortable she must have been, wedged up against that bark. But one must suffer for art, I suppose!

About his female nudes, Levinston has this to say, “I photograph the female figure for many reasons. I believe the female body is the original aesthetic object, the source of all our ideas of what is beautiful. Therefore, the female figure provides the perfect subject matter to explore all the concerns of contemporary art, just as it has been an important subject since the beginning of art.”

Here is another photograph of his. In this one the woman goes almost unseen. But in both, I just love how the setting and the figure complement each other so well.

Which do you like better?

01.09.2009 Art, Sculpture

Artist: Bruno Torfs

How quickly Friday arrives! If you are a regular visitor, you know I feature some art every Friday. I think it may hearken back to when I was in grade school and Friday was always art day. Anyway, this week I’m displaying some sculpture that is part of one of the most amazing gardens in the world.

According to Bruno Torf’s website:
“Bruno Torfs created a sculpture garden that he would run as a permanent attraction, open to the public in Marysville, Australia…. The garden began with just fifteen life sizes terracotta sculptures, but today there are over one hundred and fifteen pieces on display and Bruno is still making regular additions. The unique experience of the garden and its wondrous inhabitants attracts thousands of visitors a year. Bruno and the family still live there and always take great pleasure in being able to share their magnificent art treasure with all that come.”

I would love to visit this garden, but I doubt I’ll ever visit Australia. At least there’s the Internet. If you’d like a virtual tour, go to brunosart.com. Have a terrific weekend.

01.02.2009 Art

Artist: John Cerney

Welcome to the first Art Friday in my new blog location!

Dig this guy’s work. He paints BIG. Really big.

The work to the right is Farmer & Irrigator, 1995, commissioned by a man who wanted to pay tribute to his agricultural labor force. There were ten figures altogether. The farm is in Salinas, oddly, the place my own dad was born and raised.

I like how down to earth Cerney seems on his website. He calls his work “Giant Cut Out Art.” I think it’s cool and unique. I’m sure I even saw some of it in Monterey along Cannery Row. Next time I’m there, I’ll be sure to seek it out on purpose.

Have a fantastic 2009 weekend!
