Shadow Art… or Not?

Posted in art on December 12th, 2009 by admin – 1 Comment

Never seen anything like this before, but looks pretty awesome. Creating images using the shadows of ordinary, unrelated objects and forms. The artist is Kumi Yamashita.

Never seen anything like this before. Very intriguing collection of sculptures made entirely of colored pencils. I guess there are multiple ways for one to use a pencil in creating art.

Alive but silent. Living statues contest in Sochi.

Posted in art on May 29th, 2009 by admin – 3 Comments

Got art? These people think they do. When a statue is not really a statue but a decorated human being… is that still art? Am I asking stupid questions?

A living statues contest was held in the Russian city of Sochi earlier this month. Looks pretty interesting. What amazes me most here is that I really can’t tell that these exhibits are all living, breathing people. Perhaps you could better discern their humanity if you saw the show in person… or maybe it’s just a Russian thing ;-)

The ART of Tennis, an Artonot original

Posted in art on May 28th, 2009 by admin – 4 Comments

an artist is you! or at least that seems to be the general consensus these days…

Inspired by all of the wannabe artists we’ve been discussing on the blog so far, I’ve decided to give this “creativity” thing a try myself, and here are the fruits of today’s labor. It’s amazing what you can accomplish on the tennis court, and I’m not just talking about serving some aces. With a few bum balls, nets, fences, and rackets as my tools, I am beginning my artistic career as a tennis ball sculptor!

I swear, some poor, hopeless, good for nothing (else) art student will look at this blog, get “inspired” and glue together a giant tennis ball sculpture, made from like a million balls. Then, some art “critic” will give it a raving review, and viola, you have yourself a new alternative arts movement… Thus, some bored idiot could change the course of art history, a little…

SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? AM I AN ARTIST YET???

This one reminds me of a frog:

A secret message hides in the fence, can you guess what it is???!!!

Tennis Ball Sculpture, No glue required!

My tennis ball artistry probably has Michelangelo spinning in his grave… but then again, so does most modern painting, architecture, and sculpture.

Ok, I’m done here for now.

I thought this was a little disturbing. But is it art?

RustiCristo by Christopher Locke

metal sculpture

Made from salvaged steel nuts and bolts, pulled from a swampy mud-filled parking lot at an abandoned machine shop. Parts were cleaned and welded, then given a patina with distilled vinegar, ripped jeans, and snow. Unpainted. The corpus is bolted to a 2X4 box tube cross, and can be removed and installed on any other type of cross, although I think this one works perfectly.
