Instead we stayed in and looked for something unusual on TV to watch. What I found was "Concrete Canvas" on The Halogen Channel. You've probably seen some of this guy's work make the rounds on the internet:
The artist's name is Julian Beavers, and his 3-D drawings are amazing! Until I saw him doing one of his sidewalk pieces I never thought about how uncomfortable it would be to paint on hands and knees or bent over all day long. Here's how he does it:
Here's something he did that's a bit more relevant today:
Doesn't it look like the artist is just floating on air?
I'd be interested to hear what our resident Blogger / artist extraordinaire Stephen Hayes, aka The Chubby Chatterbox, has to say about his work. Not serious art? At the very least he does have an interesting "perspective".
Hope y'all have a great Sunday and manage to stay cool. ;)

I once had an art studio in downtown Portland, and I spent two days at an art festival watching a fellow create one of these optical illusions on the sidewalk. I thought it was pretty amazing. They call this trompe l'oeil (French for deceive the eye). I can't imagine taking this much time and energy to create something that is washed away during the next rain. But Tibetan monks create elaborate mandalas from colored sand that only last a short time.
ReplyDeleteI think these are amazing - I'd love to see one in person.
