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.

MOCA - Monica Mancini
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
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.

Andrew Cole
This week I chose to want to highlight the work of digital artist, Andrew Cole. I find it interesting how he incorporates his love of chess into his work and the contrast this creates. Cole explains his technique and style as that of a game of chess, where each piece he creates has the same overall "rules" but he creates a different "strategy" for each one which takes them in many different directions, although they all start in the same place. A chess board is obviously flat and made up of many adjacent squares and Cole likes to contrast this using swirls and dimensional objects. I love the mix of square shapes and round shapes that he uses and also round shapes positioned in squared off layouts. The colors and gradients in this piece are wonderfully bright and eye-catching. This is pretty irrelevant but this piece also reminds me of packman which was one of my favorite games to play growing up.
“An Irritating Red Bird"
“An Irritating Red Bird" is a Psychological Landscape
by Gale Gibbs. Gibbs a resident of Rockwall, Texas. An Irritating Red Bird is
an abstract mixed technique photograph. The like this piece of art because it
is different from anything I have seen as of late. I like how Gibbs kept the original
background and sky. It gives it a feel of the whimsical mixed with shocking
reality. Though everything with the house is odd, the clothes line, tree coming
out if the roof, and the strange head floating in space, the eye is immediately
drawn to the red bird. It is an odd but interesting piece of art and I like it
very much.

MOCA - Wolfepaw (Peggi Wolfe)
I chose Blooming by Wolfepaw because of the design, colors and
different techniques used to create this photo.
Wolfepaw (Peggi Wolfe) has been a photographer for years, and
started dapping in digital graphic and then go into fractals in the mid-1990s. She uses factual software to create her art work.

Circumferent Chroma
“Digital Stream of Consciousness”
“Circumferent Chroma” by Casey Kotas
Casey Kotas is an American artist & musician currently residing
in Chicago, IL. From an early age art and music was a fascination for him. He
sees the computer as an artistic tool just like the paint brush. Circumferent
Chroma minds me of the human body or the artist rendition of the human body in vivid
color. The depth of color truly amazes me. The most intriguing part of the
painting is where the heart should be. It looks like a never ending void. I
find this piece to be fascinating.
Joel Mariano
Joel Mariano is a very talented artist trained in the fundamentals of classic art, but clearly gifted in and drawn to electronic and digital art. Mariano chose to focus his graduate studies in experimental animation, incorporating elements of cinematic animation and also continuing to enjoy the use of 3D graphic and video animation. Mariano is known for combining computer imaging techniques to enhance "traditional hand drawings, videos and photographs. This week seemed like an appropriate time to highlight such an artist because of the 3D element of his work. I love this piece for its use of color and the incredible way Mariano uses dimension to create the effect of water. The layering and use of highlights gives this a very "liquid" feel.
Welcome to Oblivion...
I am a sucker for anything with blue or black in it, and though this only has minute hints of the later, I am mesmerized by the swirl. That along with the mix of the curved lines and the straight make this a great piece.
Upon further investigation I realized that the name of this image according to Debi is Oblivion (hence the title of this post)
