Was that that little man who welcomed you to Fantasy Island talking?

I agree with Tootoo or whatever his name is.

There kinda DADA performance artists, but they perform at music festivals all over Europe. They always make me laugh. Gotta love the Dutch

I am bumping this because Art is a part of so many peoples lives and Boxing itself is a great Art. We all enjoy posting videos and I don't expect everyone to share the same tastes or have to post difficult non representational abstract works or obscure installations and sound art.(unless its mine) but surely everyone has a picture or artist that they love.
I searched the word Art here on Saddo and could not find anything so here it goes

How about artists who have made great album art such as the guy who has done a lot of work used by radiohead

This is the work of a local artist, Seth Garland his parents were responsible for most of the Lord of the Rings artwork in the 60s and 70s editions of the books. The picture below was one of his earlier works painted at 19 and we have a print in our living room, he has this to say about it

Diminished Seconds was exhibited at The Mall Galleries, London. Where in 1998 it won second prize in 'The Society of Art of the Imagination' open competition.
'I painted it when I was 19 years old and it reflects the panic of reaching the end of my teenage years. My younger sister Amy features twice in the painting. One dressed in contemporary clothing and the other timeless. Time motifs run throughout the painting, from the dandelion clock seed head in the top corner to the architectural mixture of red brick and Ancient Greece.'

I quite enjoy the Impressionists Monet, Manet, Van Gough, Cezanne, Renoir, etc. I really love Gustave Caillebotte's 'Paris Street Rainy Day' as well.

I dont think you can beat John Constable for capturing the precious moment of life working with nature at a very balanced time and place on Earth.







And this is amazing as are all of his interpretations:

I find Constable very difficult in that while his influence and undoubted ability deserves its place in British Art history personally I find it a bit twee and it just reminds me of my Grandma's place mats. It has been so mass produced on tea towels etc that it has become a bit ubiquitous. He certainly knew a lot about light and how to render it.

Another favourite is the super realist sculptor Ron Mueck



So far quite interesting but not especially original until you factor in his contextual use of scale
