Gerhard Richter


Abstraktes Bild 742-2, 1991


Abstraktes Bild, 1988

This guy is an inspiration. I like him because he doesn't subscribe to the development of a singular signature style in his development as an artist. Also, in some self-centered way, his artistic interests happen to coincide with mine (not that i am at that level yet).

No matter. His works are extremely diverse, moving from complete material expression, to the photo-real blurred paintings to painting on photographs, to his own pixellated minimalism, to... i don't know what, because i'm terribly unschooled in art criticism.

Alright. I've decided that i'm going to start posting works from artists that i find interesting. I'm finally done with my final studio review. (!!!) So in the complete freedom that i have for a month now, i'll be looking at ART. yes, finally, the time has come. can i be more serious or happier at the same time?

Breeze

Breeze

"Keeping your eyes gently closed, close your eyes tightly.
it will rain, it will rain.
and after having what she described as her most thrilling experience,
she climbed down from the tree
next day
a queen."

-Vogt Dig For Kloppervok, The Books


I have 12 days left to my studio final. That means, NO MORE STUDIO, no more being a tortured student of architecture FOREVER. I've been breezing through this semester and suddenly, at 5pm today, i realised i still care. I'm gonna make it count. ;>

LowFi

Lily

Sad little flurries spin around in a snow globe. I wonder if monet ever felt a kind of blue while painting the waterlilies.
