For my sister Nora's christmas present, I decided to draw a picture of Izzy and her. I don't usually draw, so this is going to be a challenge, but definitely worth it.
I think Karen Blair's art is really nice!! It's interesting to see how her art has evolved from being more realistic to being more abstract. I love her older art especially. Her painting of the chair and the table with the lamp kind of reminds me of Van Gogh's painting of the bedroom. I love her outdoor scenes of the trees and stream because she contrasts the oranges really nicely by using purples in the trees, water and sky. I like how her colors aren't completely accurate of reality but they give off a certain mood (like the yellow sky in the painting of the woman gardening and the blue rocks in one of the stream paintings).
Link to her gallery: http://www.karenblairartist.com/paintings/ I really love Jee Young Lee's work. Her original challenge was how to utilize her small studio space in Seoul (11.8′ x 13.5′ x 7.8′). Instead of finding a new location, she challenged herself to build some these beautiful, elaborate sets and preserve them through a single photograph. I think it's amazing the effort and time (often months) she puts into transforming her small studio for each project. The transformations look almost as though they are animated or from another world, but she does it all by hand and refuses to digitally manipulate the photographs in any way. All of her designs have their own back story, each one inspired by either her personal life or old Korean fables. I think her creative problem-solving and her attention to color and detail are very inspiring. Link to the article: http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/lee-jeeyoung-stage-of-mind-room |
