Rom-15

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The piece of art I chose this week is Rom-15 a 3D rendering by Gerhard Katterbauer. Katterbauer was born in 1954 in Linz, Austria, and is now a resident of Vienna. In his youth he studied ceramics at the College of Art in Graz and sculpture at the Academie of Forming Arts in Vienna. All Mod I have posted pieces of art that I loved or found interesting. I decided to move away from that and post one I don’t think I like so much. Again like the other pictures I posted it is different but in a strange way. I like the landscape picture in the background but the picture of the women in the center changes the picture for me. I am not sure what the artist was going for but I can say all and all it is not for me.

Chris Wittington

For my last artist post I chose to highlight artist, Chris Whittington.  The piece below is entitled, "Bahama Calm Shore."  This caught my attention because the Bahamas is one of my favorite places.  I love the grey overcast tone of the whole piece because it's so unexpected when the subject is a place a beautiful and vibrant as the Bahamas.  The artist comments were very interesting, where Chris says, "I use a pocket-size 21 megapixel Sony, shooting everything in the Raw format, then every picture gets its edge in Photoshop."

Unlike most of the other artists I've chosen throughout the course, Whittington starts with real photos he takes himself and as he says, enhances them using Photoshop.  Most of the other artists I've chosen have used digital images or images they've "manufactured" using some sort of digital application.  The glowing ring in the middle of the water is mysterious and beautiful at the same time.  I would love to see the original version of the photo and compare it to the final product below.

All good things must end

Here we are... we find ourselves at the end of the term.  Time flies by... Hopefully  you enjoyed this experience and that you are inspired to continue on and create more of your own work.  I need to get the grades in by Sunday night before bedtime... so if you are working on anything, Sunday evening is the last chance to post it here...

Have a great Holiday Season and hopefully I'll see you again down the road!

I loved this piece it because of the colors, lines and it looks like butterflies flying around. 

 

Karin uses Photoshop using KPT5's FraxFrame filter, and characterized generally as fractals.  “She prefers to utilize 'Automatism' for her creative processes and usually generate a series of inspiring and associative shapes on transparent layers and combine them to form subtle arrangements of glowing transparent areas of colors, including the light behind it”

Susan Isabella Sheehan

For my final featured artist, I decided to down a little bit of a different path. So I present Susan Isabella Sheehan.

The reason that I have chosen her to round out my artist, is because I like how she blends art and photography.

This particular piece caught my eye because it reminds me of a similar artist Christian Riese Lassen, who often does sea art that this a little more in depth but along the same lines.

I especially like how each of the pieces are a little dark which is something that she is known for with her art. as well as on the fun side, they kind of remind me of early 90's CGI.
