Teddymonster Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 My favourite work of art is "The guitar lesson" by Balthus. I love it because it's shocking. Too shocking to post here, most likely. My favourite artist is Odilon Redon. All of the attached images are his, and in the collection of MOMA. Dude, those are AMAZING! Thanks for introducing Redon to me. Gotta check out more of his works.

BiCoastal Kid Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I like a lot, but right now, I'm diggin these two. Swoon: She does these awesome cutouts from newspaper paper and puts them on walls in NYC. Tsang kin-wah: AWESOME. Scratches away to leave shapes made out of words.

Teddymonster Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Okay, I'm sooooo not letting this sweet thread die on us. Just ran into this beauty in a power point that my professor posted. I think it's absolutely amazing! BTW...I'll see if I can snag a picture of the painting (set of two) that I am doing for my visual analysis. They also are truly amazing and have never been shown publicy for almost 40 years. To be continued... One more thing...I forgot to mention how great Dennis's landscapes are. Good work young grasshopper! 8) Tetons and Snake River by Ansel Adams NOTE: Sorry it's not any bigger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroger8 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 ^I love the Tetons, that is the prettiest part of the country I've been to, and Ansel Adams is truly my favorite photographer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxo Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 To continue the trend of reviving old 'favorites' threads... I'm really into Banksy's work at the moment. "Window Seat" at the Segregation Wall in Palestine. Just look at the size of that thing! Phonebooth A classic Banksy - "The Kissing Coppers."

jammy2by4 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Believe it or not this is actually a painting in the form of Photorealism and I just love it, although it does make me crave for some doughnuts. Maple and Chocolate Although I do find myself a wee bit of a painter. My piece is titled Air Cadets, I did it for school and it got me an A for Higher Art and Design. Tell me what you think of it. But I've also got a few images I am quite proud of: Land and Air Roman Column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 This isn't my favourite artist, but... We have a corner building almost across the street from us. It's a former business bldg. which i think has been sold, and is eventually to be turned into townhouses with underground parking. It's sat for years, empty. But it's been used for two specific media projects, As a small gorcery store from the film "Better Than Chocolate" and a small liquor shop for an episode of "Supernatural." Last weekend, a few drawings appeared up on the walls of the building. This happens from time to time, stuff being pasted up on it's walls. But this looked nice, so I got the camera out, and photographed all of it. Sadly, it only lasted a few days, as somebody thought it right to take all the drawings down. Critics. From across the street, I saw this. One. A closer look. The other side of the building. The third drawing. And another. Closeup of style. Shaky, hmm? It's part of the design. Unfocused. But still great. A few days later, all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 And then a few days later, after the drawings had disappeared... This appeared in their place. Sadly, the one on the other wall was already removed. What it looked like, up close. And taped up, which looked clumsy. * The Fine Print.

rcjp Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I really like Salvador Dali's paintings. And this has to be my favourite! I even painted a copy (well, tried to although it wasn't that bad) on an arts class a few years ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I wasn't sure where to put this but.... The entire sculpture is made from car parts! Cool, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Here's some recent artwork to buy, we found on our little "Island" in the city....Granville Island. Great tourist place but awesome for locals, too. Many food shops, and the place to OD on arts of all physical kinds and medias/mediums. There's also our Fave Home Restaurant......The KEG, where we enjoyed steak, lobster, and a few delicious sides (Crispy Grilled Cauliflower), for a perfect visit's ending. P.S. This is a definite ADD-ON Place to visit, explore, eat and buy.......when you come to Vancouver, to ride our Coaster. Glass and colour. Etched as well. Five-of-A-Kind. Fish! In wood! And paint! My fave - has a little human as 'bait' in that ball, there. Brighter in person, than here in a photo. REALLY BRIGHT!!! Wood fish, golden scales. Very pretty artwork. ...And then I bought a bottle, of some other "artwork".... Granville Island Artisan Sake'. <3 <3 <3 My Very First Whiskey Sour at The Keg! And it was...interesting. So I had another one. (o; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Here's some new artwork I discovered just today. It's on the side of a house, that I pass on my way to the bus stop, to get to Playland, if I can't use our car. I liked it. Enough to post it, here. How it looks on the side of the house. A bit closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
