Free The Robot’s Rattlesnake
remember when I said I hadn’t gotten into tumblr yet?
Well, I was looking through my last few posts and I was wondering why I was slightly discontent--
and I realized that it was because I had fallen deep down into the tumblr trap, where works of art are put up nameless, titleless, to be looked at for half a second
I fell into this trap of finding cool images instead of great ones, into a compilation of photoshop and generic quotes
sure, I’ve found some interesting images. and it’s fun to scroll down endlessly, it’s a nice way to distract`
but nothing means anything anymore, on tumblr, the aura of the work of art is completely gone
so I’m going to shut up and just let you see some good art.
Incredible double exposure oil paintings (!) by Ho Ryon Lee
This next guy, Marion Peck, literally cracks me up. Between his paintings’ mockery of art of the past, the titles, and the expressions on some of these characters, I have not gotten a laugh out of art like this,,, well, ever.
Clown Running Through a Landscape, 2009
Fuck you, 2008
Sacred Grove, 2011
Just stop here, think for a second, what does this clown represent? He’s telling us something, he’s referring to us, the viewers…
Landscape with a Submerged Deer, 2008
^^died of laughter
Peasant Dance, 2008
referring to
Peasant Dance, 1568 (Pieter Bruegel)
Young Lord Oliver, 2007
Comic book artist Tara McPherson and her alien oil paintings
puzzling prints by Charming Baker
and if you’re going to be looking at each image for half of a second, at least do it this way--
Thanks Vil.
