Beyond The Adobe

Once upon a time a woman named Kat O’Sullivan, lived in an ordinary 170-year-old farmhouse. O’Sullivan is not just any woman, she’s an extraordinary artistic woman. One day she decided to turn her 170-year-old farmhouse into a magical rainbow farmhouse. The house sits close along the shore. Some say if you walk deep into the woods of High Falls, New York, you might come across this magical rainbow farmhouse. When you see the house, you may feel like you’re imagining it or you’re in a Hansel and Gretel situation but you’re not. Yes, you’re eyes, they are not deceiving you at all; the house is real. This house is said to have been built back in the 1840. Click the link below to get an exclusive look at the rest of the story.

Beyond The Aspects Of The Design

When it comes to works of art the most fascinating aspect is the design process used to make it. Every artist has their own unique methods, which they use to design their works of art. There are many different ways you can design a work of art, some of which I have never heard of or seen. Artist Steven Spazuk uses the process of fire-painting to create his works of art. Check out the intriguing video of Spazuk using the fire-painting technique below. According Mature Nature Network (MNN) Spazuk first started using the technique of fire-painting back in 2001. From what I’ve seen Spazuk has a lot captivating works of art.

In a blog post on Slate.com, Kristin Hohenadel, a blogger, quotes Spazuk talking about where he got his inspiration to start fire-painting.

“”People always ask me this question and every time I am sort of embarrassed by it,” the artist tells me in an email. “The truth is that I dreamt of it. I was in a gallery (in my dream) and was looking at that black and white landscape and I knew that it was done with fire and completely understood the technique. In the morning when I woke up I remembered that dream and started to experiment. It was an instant love affair with the medium. That was in April of 2001 and I have been working with fire ever since.””

Beyond The Illusion

“Liu Bolin, Hiding in the City – Art No. 1, 2013″ courtesy of kleinsungallery.com

Liu Bolin, the man who is also known as “The Invisible Man.” He has one of the most creative minds in the world; his art work is impressive. I’ve seen most of his creative pieces, and I have to say I was moved by his work. Some of you might be wondering why is he called the “The Invisible Man.” He got the name from being able to hide himself, if you check out his collection, Hiding in the City, you’ll see and understand what I’m talking about. Art revolutionary and it’s such an important aspect of life, without art there’s no excitement. I really like is his Dragon Series Panel collection. We all know dragons are just so freaking cool but that’s not why I really love this collection. The artist that help him with his collections got to be very talented, being able to match detail for detail is an impressive skill set to have. It might of took some of you a minute to find Bolin in the photo above. The artist who worked on him did a heck of a great job matching detail for detail, so that he blended in with the background. I believe that this type of visual imaginary is definitely revolutionary and there’s always room for it.

If you want to learn more about Liu Bolin, you can check out his video, Liu Bolin: The Invisible Man, on TED.com. Please comment, like, reblog, share and tell me what you think about this type of visual art below.

Beyond The Walls Of The Memorial Art Gallery

If you haven’t been to the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, N.Y., I suggest you visit it. If you love visual art, then you got to check out the Memorial Art Gallery. I have only been to the gallery twice in my life and I enjoyed each and every visit. I wouldn’t mind going back and checking out the place, to see what’s new. The artwork they have in there is incredible. They have art pieces from Ancient Greece, Egypt, Africa, Rome, China and many other places. Seeing those beautiful and magnificent works of art will inspire and motivate some individuals. Some individuals will just look at a work of art and want to design something as great. I know when I looked at those great monumental art pieces, they motivate me to want to be great and go beyond my limits. I want to one day be able to design something so great that people will admire it for centuries. Check out the pictures I was allowed to take within the Memorial Art Gallery and comment below. Let me know what you like and think about the works of art below.
