02.20.2009 Art, Photography

Artist: Lucy McRae and Bart Hess

Lucy McRae and Bart Hess describe themselves on their blogsite as “an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. They share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression.”

A lot of the time artist statements like this go right over my head. I did major in art in college, but it was graphic design (logos, packaging, advertising), which was a little more “mainstream”. I don’t pretend to be an esoteric gal. But I know what I like when I see it even if I can’t analyze why.

Still, I think these two pieces are quite interesting to look at. The first is Exploded View, the second, Exploded View Part Two.

Enjoy your weekend!

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?
