"I am not interested in making people uncomfortable, but at the same time I don't have an interest in paintings that are truly passive. The best paintings are ones that require an active, discerning viewer."

anthony - the book! How goes the book? Do you need us to whip you with nettles to stimulate your skull custard, or chain you to your keyboard with your knees roped together? ILE's services in that direction are very reasonably priced, I hear.

I just don't get a lot out of most photorealism.

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 01:55 (twenty years ago)

Well, outside of awe at technique, anyway.

I have, just not recently. And of course, there's plenty of non-photorealism posted anyway.

But, here's a couple...

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

But if I may ask - what attracts you to photorealism?

latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 02:22 (twenty years ago)

Truthfully, I spend most of my time thinking about visual artists who draw comic books.

Goseki Kojima

R. Crumb

Xaime Hernandez

Mary Fleener

Jim Woodring

Lynda Barry

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 02:23 (twenty years ago)

I like photorealism when it has a strong surrealist element (ala David Lynch movies or Gregory Crewdson photographs) - something just a little off in the perspective or colors that alters your perception.

One of my favorites (crap photo, in person the blacks are much richer) -

WHERE ARE MR PENGUIN ORIGINALS

Magin 'Pedro' Johnson's magical AIDS thrfit store (dr g), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Ugh, I tried to scan a couple of mine and they look *disgusting*. I'll try again tomorrow...

Woodring is probably my first or second favorite living cartoonist. Here's another by him.

I really like Rob's Robert Blake song.

Magin 'Pedro' Johnson's magical AIDS thrfit store (dr g), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 03:18 (twenty years ago)

oh man i love al columbia so much. is that from the blab strip?

strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 03:18 (twenty years ago)

Those Paul Noble drawings are amazing in person.

walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 03:26 (twenty years ago)

The Al Columbia is from one of his Zero Zero pieces, "Amnesia" I think.

Penguin USA Paper, Tuesday, 11 October 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

I need to check out some of Rob's songs -- I haven't been keeping up to date at all.

oops, that second one should go:

This thread is great. I've been avoiding it for a few weeks because of overwork and a bad mood, but I'm glad I checked it out.

Those Torok paintings are tiny, less than 3 inches tall. On my screen, they appear bigger than life size.

Penguin USA Paper, Tuesday, 25 October 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

Looking through a back issue of Artforum, I noticed some interesting abex stuff by a person called Suling Wang. On google, I find that there is a Suling Wang who is an abstract painter, and there is a Suling Wang who is an illustrator, primarily of children's books. I suspect these are different people, but am not entirely sure.

carl fudge:

via art in america:
He begins with a reproducton of an erotic Ukiyo-e print, cuts it up into fragments too small to convey narrative information, recasts those fragments in axially symmetric "inkblots," and silkscreens the resulting grid-based pattern onto the picture plane.

this mapplethorpe portrait of iggy pop is a bit more animated then similar ones of fran leobwitz, etc but it works...
