oil paintings






i came across  such interesting pantings this afternoon (01 Magazine). MONIQUE MOUTON does these incredibly simple looking paintings, yet they are so enchanting. Plus i read some of the interview and i liked them even more....


" Neither, in a way. I’m more interested in sensitivity, an attention not just to the nuances of the paintings, but to the subjective act of looking at art. When I started making abstract paintings I thought about how much our attention is drawn away from us with the speed of information these days. I wanted to make paintings that were slow. I didn’t want the paintings to wash over the viewer or tell a story, I wanted them to be more acute yet self-reflective. All this somehow led me to the sizes, shapes, and colors I’ve worked with. "

" It is not easy, and I am not enamored of painting in itself, but it gives me a means to translate some small spark of the ineffable, inevitable potential of art right now. That’s just the most basic question, isn’t it? So I suppose it is only apt to use one of the most elementary mediums. "

im being a good girl and researching the artists my teacher told me about that can help me with my work. one of them is Antoni Tapies. i found some  fragments of his work online, chose some i relate to most. i like the chaotic look of strokes and meaningless elements lying around. its interesting when they communicate with each other, funny thing is that as chaotic as they are, all of these feel very harmonized to me. it doesnts bother me. i dont like looking at something that bothers me, although that seems to be what some people want to accomplish with their art. still valid, but not what im going for. right now im just researching how color and forms can relate to each other without having to simbolize something or look like something. i just want them to have a long and interesting talk and be friends.

letter to myself

i know i do things that have been done, and that i discover things that have already been discovered. but it doesnt mean anything to me unless i go through the process myself. we hardly learn from others mistakes. i think especially in art, we must go through history at our own pace and go through each revolution ourselves before we can read a history book and understand what each artist discovered and why they chose to do things a certain way. so what if its been done before. i havent done it, so its new and innovative to me. to be revolutionary in the world and in history we have to first revolutionize ourselves and our path. i cant come up with something new from scratch. let me discover what has already been done my own way and dont take the value of what i learned away from me just because the idea had already been there. no one creates, so really all we do is discover. everything that exists is already there, what i am doing is a natural process of growth and evolution. understand that.

what a great idea

theres something so delicate about using plants in an artwork. This one in particular because the focus here is the process of growth. Visit designer Ethan Bodnar.
This reminded me of Blanc's vertical gardens.
