Art:21 | Gabriel Orozco | “Samurai Tree”

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under artist prints | 4 Comments »

EXCLUSIVE: Gabriel Orozco discusses recent paintings from his ongoing “Samurai Tree” series, including the works “Fugaz”, “Tuttifruti” and “Red Roots” (all 2008), and the computer animation “Dandelion Animation” (2008), shown as part of the exhibition “Gabriel Orozco: Recent Work” (2008) at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York.

Gabriel Orozcos sculptures and photographs disrupt conventional notions of reality. Drawing our attention to slips in logic, philosophical games, and hidden geometries, Orozco uncovers the extraordinary aspects of the seemingly everyday. His use of humble materials and means (graphite on bone, a ball of clay, a 35mm camera) engages the imagination through its disarming simplicity and intimacy.

Gabriel Orozco is featured in the Season 2 (2003) episode “Loss & Desire” of the “Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century” television series on PBS.

Spray Paint Artist

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under painting artist | 25 Comments »

During a trip to San Francisco I saw this spray paint artist along one of the sidewalks. He uses only spray paint, a putty knife, newspaper, pieces of cardboard, and the lid from a paint can to make all his designs. When they are finished he holds a lighter in front of can of clear spray paint and uses the flames to quick-dry the painting. I bought the one seen at the beginning of the video directly in front of the one he is working on. There was a crowd of people and I only had a cheap digital camera so the quality is not so great.

Annigoni: Portrait of an Artist

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under portrait artist | 6 Comments »

This award-winning critically acclaimed motion picture is based on the life and times of the last century’s most famous portrait painter, Italian master Pietro Annigoni. From his artistic birth in Florence, to the height of his fame and fortune Annigoni pursued his own path, standing alone against the forces of modernism. Annigoni was a bohemian, a drinker, a fighter and a womanizer, yet the world’s most powerful and celebrated people sought him out for portraits. Pietro Annigoni was once called the painter of beautiful women but chose instead to be the painter of beggars.

“The 100 best Movies you’ve never seen!” Richard Crouse “Exquisite a superb and memorable film” The Globe & Mail “A stirring and compelling work” Geoff Pevere. Music by Stefano Burbi performed by Orchestra da Camera Nova Harmonia di Firenze.
