Longo also directed the video for "Bizarre Love Triangle" and I think did the cover for the Replacements Tim, which was pretty awful.

andrew m, have you checked out oliver boberg? i recommended him to a friend who had mentioned demand. he also builds things out of cardboard/paper, but they are of a decrepit, bleak eastern european, industrial sort.
for instance: http://www.lomblad.net/rob/archives/blogimages/Stadttunnel.jpg

robots in love (robotsinlove), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 19:25 (eighteen years ago) link

andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 19:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Longo also directed Johnny Mnemonic (anyone mention that already?).

MORE PICS PLEASE

Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 20:54 (eighteen years ago) link

egon schiele, edvard munch, francis bacon, van gogh. oh and mark rothko but he's the exception that proves the rule. and a bunch of cartoonists.

That first Russell painting reminds me of:

(Or perhaps more accurately, the later variations on that painting, such as

THAKNS!

That first Russell painting reminds me of:

IIRC, for that series of B&W portraits, he used spray paint and stencils. In fact, until I was looking for pictures of the skaters (which I had seen years ago) and the pigs (which I saw recently), I didn't know that they were by the same person.

The Carles Congost looks like a still from a Bill Viola video. Really great stuff on this thread, has got me excited about the museum visits I've planned for Friday in San Francisco.

Here's a few favorites of mine:

Penguin, are you from SoCal by any chance?...I've seen Oshiro's work a lot, and Rodriguez's as well down here.

I just want to mention that in no way, shape or form is Laura Owens allowed on this thread.

Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Thursday, 4 August 2005 16:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I am, Robots. I saw the Oshiro piece at "Thing" at the Hammer, but he had a few shows elsewhere in LA that I'm sad I missed.

Thanks for the links and names and images, y'all.

I don't feel like googling up images, but...

Wim Delvoye
Julie Mehretu
Sarah Sze (as above)
Jim Hodges
Inka Essenhigh (the stuff painted in enamel on aluminum plates)
Ivan Albright

and as always my favorite cartoonists, like Jim Woodring, Robert Crumb, yak yak yak.

and wondering if possibly david lynch saw his work (super-cliche to call anything "lynchian" at this point but i think there are actual affinities there)

y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig (donna rouge), Friday, 6 April 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link

Franz Zwartjes is great! You should go to the EPFC screening, my friend Laida's films are showing that night too.
