Friday Art Party
This is going to be such a crazy fun party, guys. OK, so there won’t be anyone else but you and your computer. And no alcohol or loud music or dancing. And it’s not so much “crazy fun” as it is contemplative reflection of modern visual talent. But still, watch out, it’s going to get wild.
First, Josh Poehlein’s Modern History, collages made entirely from screengrabs of YouTube videos. This one’s my favorite, both for the weird visuals and the title, “Bon Jovi Summit Meeting”.
Next up, the disturbing dioramas of Thomas Doyle. My grade school dioramas on North Carolina history weren’t nearly this compelling. Also, they usually collapsed by the time I got off the bus. Here’s “The Reprisal”.
Chino Otsuka’s Finding Me series has her using her sharp Photoshop skills to place herself back in time in her old childhood photos, sort of a stationery version of Back to the Future, but with less Christopher Lloyd (to its detriment).
And finally, Thomas Broomé makes paintings where the objects shown are made up of the words that describe them. That’s deep, man.
You should definitely go to these sites and check out the full-size versions of these pictures and the others. Do I know how to throw a party or what?
