Poly Paintings! Do you have any ART?

[chequita guevara]

We have some photos done by a friend of ours. We also have some nice pots. Nothing I can show.

I have a Japanese print of a samurai on horseback, several pen and ink studies of indigenous flowers by an Australian artist, two large studies by a British Columbian Haida artist, an Edvard Munch print and a Koori lithograph. Also a small Edward Lear print.

Then there's our mbira, our Japanese ceramics and the Indian silk of a suitably ferocious looking Kali.

Alas no digital camera with me, and the disc with the piccies on is with my partner's parents.

We have an original piece on canvas by a friend of mine who's an artist/graphic designer, a Mark Rothko print, a Matisse print and a couple pieces of Japanese art on scrolls.

My wife paints, sculpts, etc. She did most of the art in our home.

This is a large mobile she did that hangs in our living room. Each of the little hangy-down things is a "speculated tribal mask" she designed, sculpted, and painted. 3D perspective is hard to see in a static shot, but it's a pretty cool thing IMHO...

I have no paintings, but I have inordinate amounts of posters, lots of Renaissance, some Dali

Molly: Sounds like a very interesting collection! I'm dying to see some of those pics. Do you play that mbira too? And what about that Kali? Have you kept it satisfied?


Kontiki: Any pics you could show us? What kind of japanese art is it? Calligraphy? Shunga? Surimono? Ukiyo-e?


Jrabbit: Wow! She does all that? The one in your picture looks very nice, and yes the dimensions are visible, I've seen lot "hangy-downs" like that on my visits to the Fiskars village wich is mainly occupied by Finnish artists and artisans. Thats very cool

Got any other pics?

Drogue: Oh, does she? It must look hypnotizing as a big poster. Got any pics of the posters? Something from the web perhaps?

MosesPresley: You did that or bought it? Thats pretty daliesque. What chemicals did you use during the making of it?


Also I dont know if these are art or not but they are definately handicrafts. I spent most of my money on these two masks during my trip to Italy last year. The masks are bought from Venice. This is the other;

..and this is the other. Very different but both of them are beautiful in their own way.

[MosesPresley]

It's mine. Here's another, complete with coffee stain.

Yeah, it does, I use it to entice my victims and render them powerless

My walls at uni are dominated by a few Mark Rothko pieces and some more Pollock ones (generally with more form, not so much in his 'ink blot' style).

Only art I have done myself recently is a massive collage of perfume adverts.....I'm sure it's artistic in its own way

Who's that a picture of?

[laurentius]

Thats gorgeoues MosesPresley! I have a friend who does a bit similar drawings. Very powerful, I'd love to see more of that

[MosesPresley]

Thanks for the encouragement.

[laurentius]

Is that a triptych? What kind of material have you used in these? Do these have names? Have you had any exhibitions? Do you have a web site for your art Michael? Would you like to have one?

A Finnish artist Teemu Mäki uses a little similar mutilated "muscularity" in his works. His colours are very brutal though...

Can we have more?
