The power of color emerged from the materiality of its pigments, the skilled hands that crafted it, and the communities whose knowledge imbued it with meaning. Color mapped the very order of the cosmos, of time and space. By engineering and deploying color, artists wielded the power of cosmic creation in their hands. <em>We Live in Painting: The Nature of Color in Mesoamerican Art</em> explores the science, art, and cosmology of color in Mesoamerica. Histories of colonialism and industrialization in the “color-averse” West have minimized the deep significance of color in the Indigenous Americas. This exhibition follows two interconnected lines of inquiry—technical and material analyses, and Indigenous conceptions of art and image—to reach the full richness of color at the core of Mesoamerican worldviews.</p><p>Please be aware that these tours are volunteer-led and subject to cancellation.

Notice how simple and direct his shapes are.</p> <p>The feeling of light on the water is just wonderful.</p> Artist Spotlight: Joshua Stolen https://www.booooooom.com/2025/06/27/artist-spotlight-joshua-stolen/ BOOOOOOOM! – CREATE * INSPIRE * COMMUNITY * ART * DESIGN * MUSIC * FILM * PHOTO * PROJECTS urn:uuid:8498e6e4-0173-02ef-8d32-96e340ebbd83 Fri, 27 Jun 2025 15:00:14 +0200 Joshua Stolen &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; Joshua Stolen&#8217;s Website Joshua Stolen on Instagram <p><a href="https://www.joshuastolen.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua Stolen</a></p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-492366" src="https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_Garden_b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1035" srcset="https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_Garden_b.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_Garden_b-600x518.jpg 600w, https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_Garden_b-400x345.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-492367" src="https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_KnifeGame_b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="960" srcset="https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_KnifeGame_b.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_KnifeGame_b-600x480.jpg 600w, https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_KnifeGame_b-400x320.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-492368" src="https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_NothingButMotion_b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="959" srcset="https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_NothingButMotion_b.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_NothingButMotion_b-600x480.jpg 600w, https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_NothingButMotion_b-400x320.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-492369" src="https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_AllThatIHave_b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="754" srcset="https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_AllThatIHave_b.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_AllThatIHave_b-600x377.jpg 600w, https://cdn.booooooom.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Stolen_AllThatIHave_b-400x251.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="https://www.joshuastolen.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua Stolen&#8217;s Website</a></em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/joshuastolen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua Stolen on Instagram</a></em></p> Featured Artist Linnea Pergola https://www.artsyshark.com/2025/06/27/featured-artist-linnea-pergola/ Artsy Shark urn:uuid:7c17c7a7-9ec1-220d-8bd4-0de085603441 Fri, 27 Jun 2025 13:00:42 +0200 <p>Artist Linnea Pergola transforms her global travels into whimsical nature-inspired watercolor and ink compositions.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.artsyshark.com/2025/06/27/featured-artist-linnea-pergola/">Featured Artist Linnea Pergola</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.artsyshark.com">Artsy Shark</a>.</p> Educator Speaker Series: Bringing Collaborative Mural Projects to Your School https://www.lacma.org/event/educator-speaker-series-bringing-collaborative-mural-projects-your-school LACMA urn:uuid:8727b0ca-d0d8-15bc-8c1a-7ae99d2bfbf0 Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:56:21 +0200 <span>Educator Speaker Series: Bringing Collaborative Mural Projects to Your School</span> <span><span>ltorres</span></span> <span><time datetime="2025-06-26T15:56:21-07:00" title="Thursday, June 26, 2025 - 15:56">Thu, 06/26/2025 - 15:56</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Join us to hear from teachers and students at John Marshall High School, along with staff at Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory, about how they worked together to create a mural at Marshall HS that celebrates Armenian culture.

What’s your background?</span></strong></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">My name is Georgia Theologou, and I’m a visual artist from Greece. I was born and raised in the industrial suburbs of Athens during the 1990s and early 2000s—a place that, despite its rawness, gave me a strong sensitivity to contrast and beauty. I’ve been drawn to art since I was four years old, when I first started experimenting with watercolor paints on paper. I studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts, and I now maintain an active studio practice in Athens.<!-- notionvc: dad4f96b-866d-48a9-bf6a-177f4123b37e --></p> </div> </div> </div> <h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What does your work aim to say? What are the major themes you pursue in your work?</span></strong></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">My work explores themes of female empowerment, personal transformation, and spiritual emergence. I work primarily in oil, often depicting the female form. In my abstract series, I show the symbolic and emotional aspects of transformation. These paintings are not literal depictions of butterflies but rather energetic impressions of becoming. They often center around flowing, radiant forms that suggest movement, vulnerability, and transcendence. I create shimmering organic shapes that rise like wings or flames, referencing the shape of a butterfly.<!-- notionvc: 3cd17f66-1fb1-4e16-ab6a-a0f2d4d13e55 --></p> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Can you walk us through your process for creating a work from beginning to end?</span></h2> <p>When I paint figuratively, I usually begin with a very clear image in my mind. I know what I want to capture emotionally and visually, so I start by creating and gathering photo references to help ground that vision. But even with a strong concept, there’s always a moment in the process where I let go of the plan and allow the painting to take its own direction. When I work more abstractly, the process is much more spontaneous. I usually begin with loose, random shapes, without any fixed idea of the outcome. It’s a more instinctive and experimental process, guided less by vision and more by sensation.<!-- notionvc: 3d21cc31-13b1-401e-a09f-ec5d58a1ae7c --></p> </div> </div> </div> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How do you hope viewers respond to your works? What do you want them to feel? </span><!-- notionvc: e87c7454-b4d3-46f6-8572-2604ac0bfd33 --></h2> <p>I hope viewers experience a sense of beauty and a mirror of something deeper, like the human capacity to transform, to emerge from darkness, and to reconnect with the true self. I’m particularly drawn to the imago stage when the butterfly emerges in its final form. It’s a moment of lightness and freedom, but it comes after a long period of tension and inner change. So while I want viewers to be captivated by the ethereal colors, flowing lines, and luminous forms, I also hope they feel seen in their own moments of &#8220;becoming.&#8221;</p> <div> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How does your work comment on current social and political issues?</span></h2> <p>While my work is not overly political, it engages with themes that are socially and culturally relevant, like female empowerment, self-reclamation, and spiritual transformation. Through luminous depictions of the female form and abstract symbols of metamorphosis, I explore what it means to return to the true self and reconnect with the soul beyond roles, expectations, and societal noise. In that way, my work speaks to the broader issue of identity and the power of healing. I see personal transformation as a quiet form of resistance.<!-- notionvc: a4726902-42d1-4d2c-9034-9c1fe2ee60d2 --></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <h2 class="p1">Who are your biggest influences and why?<!-- notionvc: 9a17ccf4-84d1-4fdf-ac8c-0dba043af0b9 --></h2> </div> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">My biggest influences come from books and paintings. Annie Besant has had a profound impact on the way I view the unseen dimensions of existence. Her writings on Theosophy and the spiritual structure of reality inspired me to explore energy, consciousness, and transformation through a visual language and to see painting not just as representation, but as revelation. Artistically, I’m deeply drawn to Agnes Pelton and Hilma af Klint. Both were women who painted inner worlds and spiritual visions, and their work resonates with me not only aesthetically but also in their use of symbolism and abstraction to express something higher and more eternal.<!-- notionvc: b12d70f2-5503-4546-a3dd-1966a294cec5 --></p> </div> </div> </div> <h2 class="p1">Do you prefer to work with music or in silence?<!-- notionvc: f51d8eb5-1ee8-4561-b1c7-48fef34bdce5 --></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">I’ve worked with music, in silence, and even with people around me. It depends on the energy of the day or the emotional space I’m in. But if I’m honest, I think I’m most connected to my work in silence. There&#8217;s something about the stillness that allows me to listen more closely, not just to the painting, but to myself. It becomes almost meditative.<!-- notionvc: e98c4575-474b-4d08-a438-50ce4e7b84e8 --></p> <h2 class="p1">What was the best advice given to you as an artist?</h2> <p>The best “advice” I received wasn’t framed as advice at all. One of my professors once told me, very directly, that some artists have it easy, and others will have to struggle. He wasn’t trying to discourage me, but rather to reflect the reality of the path ahead, especially given my background and the lack of certain privileges or connections. At the time, it was difficult to hear, but it turned out to be a gift. It grounded me. That comment made me reflect on why I create in the first place, and I realized that I would keep going no matter how hard it was.<!-- notionvc: 175189bd-0c14-4103-9791-01ffe917a382 --></p> </div> </div> </div> <p>The post <a href="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/art/one-to-watch/georgia-theologous-divine-feminine">Georgia Theologou&#8217;s Divine Feminine</a> appeared first on <a href="https://canvas.saatchiart.com">Canvas: A Blog By Saatchi Art</a>.</p> Golden State Assemblage Workshop with Zheng Chongbin https://www.lacma.org/event/golden-state-assemblage-workshop-zheng-chongbin LACMA urn:uuid:6047ca1a-a405-bb5c-215e-9d9e2888f18e Tue, 24 Jun 2025 20:00:54 +0200 <span>Golden State Assemblage Workshop with Zheng Chongbin</span> <span><span>scastillo</span></span> <span><time datetime="2025-06-24T11:00:54-07:00" title="Tuesday, June 24, 2025 -

The sensorial works of Kent-based artist Lilia Orlova-Holmes transpose the very essence of our most verdant spaces onto canvas. An interlocutor for the natural world, Lilia goes a step beyond seeing to grasp the experience of being completely and totally one with nature. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lilia’s career as an exhibiting artist spans more than three decades. Owing to her immense talent and experience, Lilia was hand-picked by Saatchi Art’s curators to show at the Other Art Fair London and to feature in the Saatchi Art Catalog. Engross yourself in the all-encompassing calm created by May’s One to Watch. </span></p> <h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Tell us about who you are and what you do. What’s your background?</span></strong></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">My name is Lilia Orlova-Holmes. I am a painter based in Kent, and I have been an artist for about 35 years now. My friends from The Riverside Studios organized my first exhibition in London in a small gallery on King&#8217;s Road in 1993. After a period of working and exhibiting in London, I made a big shift, moving to Kent in 2012. I needed isolation. I came to a place where I knew no one, and no one knew me. Other than looking after my small family, I spent all my time in the studio, painting six to seven hours a day. Apart from my son and painting, I love long walks and caring for my garden.</p> </div> </div> </div> <h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What does your work aim to say? What are the major themes you pursue in your work?</span></strong></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">Painting is an immersive experience for me, everything goes into it. After moving to Kent, I achieved a greater sense of concentration, and I was able to deepen my connection with nature. I do not try to depict nature; rather, I study nature so I can do what nature does. I want to directly experience the energy of growth, movement, and transformation. There&#8217;s a dormant seed in everything, including on a blank canvas. I want to create from that seed, starting from any point, finding an initial creative impulse, and transforming it so it comes to completion. I don&#8217;t judge my work, and I don&#8217;t look for perfection. There&#8217;s nothing perfect, just endless variety. Constant movement and transformation are perfect enough.</p> </div> </div> </div> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How do you hope viewers respond to your works? What do you want them to feel?</span></h2> <div> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">A completed painting is a living, breathing organism. Everything joins together to create it. I suppose I want my viewer to experience that universal connection.</p> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How does your work comment on current social and political issues?</span></h2> <p>I don’t remark on social and political matters in my work. I feel the need to remove myself from constant overstimulation, anything that distorts my understanding of the universal truth. My mind is more receptive when I remain quiet and contemplative.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <h2 class="p1"><b>If you couldn’t be an artist, what would you do?</b></h2> </div> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">If I weren’t an artist, I would have loved to be an alchemist, looking for the elixir of life. Alchemists wanted to complete the world. They believed that with our divine spark, we could participate in the great act of creation. Alchemists also played a large role in the development of the pigments we use today in painting. Mixing together pigments to find something true to the sky, true to the force of a flower—that is the essence of the alchemical quest.</p> </div> </div> </div> <h2 class="p1">What are some of your favorite experiences as an artist?</h2> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">You have to &#8216;love the process&#8217; in painting, but it&#8217;s more than that. You have to commit yourself, free from distraction, to a total commitment to every moment of painting.</p> <h2 class="p1">What was the best advice given to you as an artist?</h2> <p>I like one quote from Marc Chagall: &#8220;The world is good if you love it. I love love. Love helps me find colors. I can even say that it is love itself that finds color and that I only report that discovery on canvas. It is stronger than me. That is how I see life. It is beautiful, terrible. Strange also, probably because I look at it with the eyes of love&#8230;&#8221;</p> </div> </div> </div> <p>The post <a href="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/art/one-to-watch/lilia-orlova-holmess-living-canvases">Lilia Orlova-Holmes&#8217;s Living Canvases</a> appeared first on <a href="https://canvas.saatchiart.com">Canvas: A Blog By Saatchi Art</a>.</p> Why You NEED Modeling Clay in your Art Room! https://cassiestephens.blogspot.com/2025/04/why-you-need-modeling-clay-in-your-art.html Cassie Stephens urn:uuid:c9cfb968-a49a-3676-2ac1-b8a7276016d7 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 22:37:00 +0200 <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZvIphTX3XiPqXtjAQ1Ypqo06O1HFvmG1Axx0yFhqweEdfMgpAEh7V3PTedPVZA3tgRzWwjZRL4lb4L76NhySjqgYEde5x95fHXfEyvbqAhVUUO2oiYn3Z2QmbjR13wE3jVd9ghDhvIkggfBdKWYhkmKFwlnrsBStt3EqgGCZK8SroWMo12mO-Q0tEsex7/s5175/Pages_2-3_CMYK.psd%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3450" data-original-width="5175" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZvIphTX3XiPqXtjAQ1Ypqo06O1HFvmG1Axx0yFhqweEdfMgpAEh7V3PTedPVZA3tgRzWwjZRL4lb4L76NhySjqgYEde5x95fHXfEyvbqAhVUUO2oiYn3Z2QmbjR13wE3jVd9ghDhvIkggfBdKWYhkmKFwlnrsBStt3EqgGCZK8SroWMo12mO-Q0tEsex7/w640-h426/Pages_2-3_CMYK.psd%20(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">When I first started teaching my art room had NOTHING in it but a bowling pin, a Leonardo da Vinci board game with the pieces missing, a coffee can of broken crayons and...a TON of modeling clay. I cast the clay aside not thinking I'd ever have use for it. But when my curriculum called for a "clay unit"...and I had no kiln and no budget, this stuff came in super handy. Turns out, my students and I loved it and used it to explore more than just sculpting. It became a vital tool for learning lines, shape, texture and more. Here's how:</span><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bguAhHF_qA0" width="320" youtube-src-id="bguAhHF_qA0"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">I love using modeling clay for early finishers, lesson review, preview to sculpture and more!

At Saatchi Art, we remain deeply committed to connecting collectors with artists around the world—and we’re pleased to share a bit of clarity on a question that has come up recently.</span></p> <h2>What U.S.-Based Collectors Need to Know</h2> <p><b>As of now, original artworks and photographs remain exempt from recently announced tariffs on U.S. imports.</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This exemption is grounded in U.S. law, specifically, the latest tariffs enacted in April 2025 under the</span><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-declares-national-emergency-to-increase-our-competitive-edge-protect-our-sovereignty-and-strengthen-our-national-and-economic-security/"> <b>International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">—a statute that explicitly </span><a href="https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title50-section1702(b)(3)&amp;num=0&amp;edition=prelim"><span style="font-weight: 400;">prohibits restrictions on cultural and informational materials</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. <strong>This includes original artworks, prints, photographs, and other expressive works.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This exemption is not incidental—it’s rooted in longstanding protections for free expression under the U.S. Constitution.

Our sitewide sales are some of the most active times of year for Saatchi Art collectors—a moment when visibility, preparation, and presentation can make a big impact.</p> <p class="" data-start="511" data-end="829">Whether you’ve participated in one of our sales before or this is your first time, now is the perfect time to get your portfolio in top shape. <strong>We&#8217;ve put together five key tips to help you prepare your art and profile</strong>, so you&#8217;re set up to attract attention and make the most of the increased traffic and buyer interest.</p> <h2><b>1. Double-Check Artwork Availability</b></h2> <p><strong>Ensure all works marked &#8220;For Sale&#8221; in your </strong><a href="https://www.saatchiart.com/studio">Studio portfolio</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are currently available to buyers. Confirm the status of any potentially </span><a href="https://support.saatchiart.com/hc/en-us/articles/17296472430107">expiring</a><a href="https://support.saatchiart.com/hc/en-us/articles/17296472430107"> artworks</a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This proactive step prevents buyer disappointment and ensures a seamless purchasing experience. </span></p> <div class="mceTemp"></div> <h2><b>2. Upload Additional Images of Your Artwork</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since the collector can’t be in your gallery to inspect the artwork themselves, it’s useful to provide viewers with images that provide more detail and perspective. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Supplement your primary images with at least three additional views</strong>, such as close-ups, side angles, installation shots (if applicable), hardware details, and your signature. This level of detail significantly increases buyer confidence and sales potential; a</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">rtworks with at least 3 additional images are much more likely to sell. </span></p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-111409" src="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Untitled-design-1-300x158.png" alt="" width="642" height="338" srcset="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Untitled-design-1-300x158.png 300w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Untitled-design-1-952x500.png 952w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Untitled-design-1-768x403.png 768w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Untitled-design-1.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px" /></p> <p><a href="https://www.saatchiart.com/artsur">This painter</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> does a great job of providing consistent detail in their artwork images. </span>All the intricate detail and color of<a href="https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Mediterranean/348113/12721851/view"> Suren Nersisyan&#8217;s Impressionist painting</a> is retained with a close crop.</p> <p><strong>Find tips for photographing your artwork at the highest quality possible <a href="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/art/artist-tips/quick-and-easy-tips-for-photographing-your-artwork">here</a>. </strong></p> <h2><b>3.

He uses centuries-old techniques to create shimmering images that call to memory both serene landscapes and digitized walls of code.</p> <p>His work has been featured in exhibitions throughout Europe, even as far as Brazil, and his talent was most recently recognized through the receipt of the 2024 Luxembourg Art Prize (3rd prize). An already illustrious career and a mesmerizing practice steeped in visual culture are what make Stefan Osnowski One to Watch.</p> <h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Tell us about who you are and what you do. What’s your background?</span></strong></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">My name is Stefan Osnowski, and I am a German visual artist based in Lisbon, Portugal. I hold a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the University of Greifswald in Germany. My work revolves around woodcut printing—one of the oldest reproduction techniques—which I transform into a digital visual language to create hybrid landscapes that merge technology and nature, chaos and order.</p> <p class="p1">I was born in a small town in former East Germany, surrounded by rivers, lakes, and forests. Growing up in this wide landscape, I found freedom in nature—we played in flooded peat pits, built imaginary islands among the reeds, and took boats up the river. This deep connection to nature continues to shape my work today. My images reflect the landscapes of my childhood, infused with a longing for the sea, mountains, and distant places.</p> </div> </div> </div> <h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What does your work aim to say? What are the major themes you pursue in your work?</span></strong></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">My work explores themes of space, perception, and the intersection of technology and nature. I challenge the precise, technological, and often emotionless depiction of digital reality by embracing a quiet, minimalistic aesthetic of reduction and subtraction. My work also blurs the line between rationality and emotion, creating a dynamic interplay of geometric harmony, disharmony, figuration, and abstraction.</p> <p class="p1">A key aspect of my practice is the fusion of woodcut printing with digital media. Transforming an image into an abstract binary code of positive and negative space, meticulously carved by hand, introduces a tension between tradition and technology. In an era dominated by synthetic visual filters and automated perception, I use the same digital strategies in woodcut, yet my final images remain analog—imperfect, tactile, and alive with the traces of craftsmanship.</p> <p class="p1">I often focus on transient or undefined spaces, such as <i>Unorte</i>, a series on man-made, interchangeable places, or <i>Wilderness</i>, which translates landscapes into a digital language, resembling flickering screens. My latest project, <i>Arcadia</i>, explores the concept of idealized, imagined landscapes and computer-generated images, examining how mathematical structures and fragmentation can shape perception. Each woodblock print involves repetitive, instinctive carving, careful inking, hours of manual recurring pressing, and weeks of drying—making the process as meaningful as the final image.</p> </div> </div> </div> <h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Can you walk us through your process for creating a work from beginning to end?</span></strong></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">My process begins with a concept or theme that intrigues me—inspired by landscapes, mathematical structures, or transient spaces. Sometimes I have a clear image in mind; other times, I draw from my own photographs as references. For abstract works, I rely more on instinct and intuition.</p> <p class="p1">I start by preparing the woodblock, first blackening its surface to better control light gradations. Then, I sketch a grid structure in pencil and begin carving the lines, cutting away areas to slowly reveal the image—this forms the luminous traces of the final composition. Printing is a meticulous process. The woodblock is inked with special oil-based colors, requiring careful coordination to maintain contrast. The paper is then placed and pressed manually using glass lenses, a physically demanding process that can take hours. Finally, the print is carefully lifted from the block and left to dry for several weeks before completion.</p> </div> </div> </div> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How does your work comment on current social and political issues?</span></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">My work indirectly engages with social and political issues by reflecting on how we perceive and interact with the world in an era dominated by digital imagery. We live in a time of visual overload, where images are filtered, manipulated, and often detached from reality. Through woodcut printing —a slow, physical, and manual process—I challenge the hyper-smooth aesthetics of digital media and question the way technology shapes our perception. By merging traditional techniques with digital influences, my work highlights the tension between the analog and the virtual, between the human hand and machine precision.</p> <p class="p1">Projects like <i>Unorte </i>explore man-made, interchangeable spaces that reflect urbanization and displacement, while <i>Arcadia </i>investigates our longing for idealized, constructed landscapes. In this way, my work is not a direct political statement but rather a reflection on contemporary visual culture, urging viewers to slow down and reconsider the reality behind the images they consume.</p> </div> </div> </div> <h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How do you hope viewers respond to your works? What do you want them to feel?</span></h2> <div> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">I hope my work invites viewers to slow down and engage with the act of seeing in a more conscious way. In a world saturated with fast, digital imagery, I want my prints to offer a counterbalance—demanding time, distance, and reflection. I aim to create a sense of tension between order and chaos, abstraction and figuration, technology and nature. Some works may evoke a feeling of stillness, while others create a flickering, almost unstable visual experience, much like a digital screen.</p> <p class="p1">I want viewers to question their perception; to feel both disoriented and drawn in. Beyond that, I hope my work resonates on a personal level—whether through the textures, the landscapes, or the interplay of light and shadow. If someone finds a moment of recognition, curiosity, or contemplation in my works, then I feel I’ve achieved something meaningful.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <h2 class="p1"><b>If you couldn’t be an artist, what would you do? </b></h2> </div> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">As a boy and teenager, I wanted to become a captain. I dreamed of being on a ship, sailing the world’s oceans. Perhaps today, I would be working on a research vessel in Antarctica or as a marine biologist in the coral reefs of Australia. Maybe as an ecologist in the Amazon, striving to protect the land or manage it sustainably in harmony with the rainforest. Ultimately, I would likely be involved in any field directly focused on the protection and preservation of untouched nature.</p> </div> </div> </div> <h2 class="p1"><b>Who are some of your favorite artists, and why? </b></h2> <div class="page" title="Page 2"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <p class="p1">Some of my favorite artists include William Turner, Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer, Hans Hartung, Cy Twombly, Richard Serra, as well as Anselm Reyle and the Hungarian Marton Nemes. The list could go on much longer. I particularly admire Anselm Reyle for his innovative approach to abstraction and his playful yet critical exploration of contemporary visual culture, making him a key figure in today&#8217;s art scene. His use of materials and vibrant color contrasts creates tension, which I find very inspiring.</p> </div> </div> </div> <p>The post <a href="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/art/one-to-watch/stefan-osnowskis-modern-woodblock-prints">Stefan Osnowski&#8217;s Modern Woodblock Prints</a> appeared first on <a href="https://canvas.saatchiart.com">Canvas: A Blog By Saatchi Art</a>.</p> Happy National Pet Day! http://artwolfe.com/2025/04/11/happy-national-pet-day/ Art Wolfe urn:uuid:586307ae-16cf-9805-c5e1-0eab8a493de4 Fri, 11 Apr 2025 19:06:47 +0200 Today is National Pet Day!

I&#8217;ve taken to using humane water jet devices to keep them from pawing around my ponds.</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-18370 size-full" src="http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sattle-hummingbird.jpg" alt="Wolfe Hummingbird Seattle National Pet Day" width="1200" height="800" srcset="http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sattle-hummingbird.jpg 1200w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sattle-hummingbird-300x200.jpg 300w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sattle-hummingbird-680x453.jpg 680w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sattle-hummingbird-150x100.jpg 150w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sattle-hummingbird-768x512.jpg 768w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sattle-hummingbird-198x132.jpg 198w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/sattle-hummingbird-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p> <p>The delicate trees in my yard make excellent nesting grounds for smaller birds, like this Anna&#8217;s Hummingbird.

Sad to say that I&#8217;ve had koi numerous times over the years. However, much like those traditional pets they end up being a lot of work &#8211; and also very hard to protect in the pacific northwest, where fish are a favorite snack of many a predator. I had fish in my pond up until this past Christmas eve. As I was away on a trip, my security cameras caught a large river otter having himself a holiday feast, and then had the audacity to take a post-meal nap. Frustrating, but that is the circle of life!</p> <p>So &#8211; happy National Pet Day to everyone who has furry, scaled or feathered friends, even if i like me your &#8220;pets&#8221; are free to roam!</p> <p>There&#8217;s a lot to see here in the Pacific Northwest, and there are still spaces available to join me at <a href="https://events.artwolfe.com/event/mount-rainier-photography-workshop-2025/">Mount Rainier</a> and on the <a href="https://events.artwolfe.com/event/fall-color-olympic-peninsula-photography-workshop-2025/">Olympic peninsula</a> &#8211; or if you&#8217;re open to other locations in the western US join me in <a href="https://events.artwolfe.com/event/colorado-fall-color-photography-retreat-2025/">Colorado</a> or on the <a href="https://events.artwolfe.com/event/california-coast-photography-retreat-abstracts-and-otters-2025/">California Coast</a>!</p> Let's Celebrate Vincent van Gogh: My Fave Van Gogh Art Lessons! https://cassiestephens.blogspot.com/2025/04/lets-celebrate-vincent-van-gogh-my-fave.html Cassie Stephens urn:uuid:6c63d140-5a3d-10db-1064-ea42329f03ef Thu, 03 Apr 2025 20:47:00 +0200 <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjAgX9QnlJy0qGCctHZ-TPOnC6lbGSTQnDgiqrKswaefO2ebYUPO5AErrNoWtVUd2FPX3gnw4KYEE2fxqfQyu38uR2MaiBqpDOe1vucp_k7xjZ990gWigXOQwmtTu4-PxtKsqTrhkegrGE3dXnUqoZWZGDxHwAi7irPclNWaWRVUswlPmpkKUlbmbKHDC0X" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjAgX9QnlJy0qGCctHZ-TPOnC6lbGSTQnDgiqrKswaefO2ebYUPO5AErrNoWtVUd2FPX3gnw4KYEE2fxqfQyu38uR2MaiBqpDOe1vucp_k7xjZ990gWigXOQwmtTu4-PxtKsqTrhkegrGE3dXnUqoZWZGDxHwAi7irPclNWaWRVUswlPmpkKUlbmbKHDC0X=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Hello, friends!&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Sunday, March 30th was Vincent van Gogh's birthday!

Offering some of the most dramatic and untouched natural beauty on Earth, the scenery is both wild and serene. The soft, diffused light of the Arctic sun casts a magical glow over the landscape. Those in the &#8216;flat earth&#8217; camp might be discouraged to hear that there are weeks when the sun never sets!</p> <p>Wildlife in Greenland is equally captivating, with an array of species adapted to its Arctic environment. The icy waters are home to whales, seals, and walruses, while the skies are often dotted with migratory birds like puffins, guillemots, and arctic terns. Capturing these creatures in their natural habitat can be both challenging and rewarding. Using a long lens and maintaining a respectful distance is key to getting those perfect wildlife shots while preserving the integrity of the creatures&#8217; natural environment.</p> <p>Although I&#8217;m primarily known for wildlife, the culture of the places we visit are just as important and the two are intrinsically linked. Greenland is a blend of indigenous Inuit heritage and Danish influences. The Inuit have lived in Greenland for thousands of years, and their traditions, language, and craftsmanship continue to play an essential role in the country&#8217;s identity. Visitors can explore colorful villages, where the vibrant homes contrast beautifully against the snowy surroundings, and witness the art of traditional kayak building.</p> <p>Leave a comment below if Greenland is on your bucket list &#8211; perhaps we will plan a tour!</p> Hi-Fructose Issue 74 is Coming!

I learned some things along the way and I shared a lot of those tips in the video. But...here are some other things I'd recommend:</span></span></div></div><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">* <strong>Use thick paper </strong><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode="">Because this paper is going to be crumpled and then saturated with paint and water, it could tear easily if thin paper is used. I'm using 80 lbs. mixed media paper.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode="">* </span><strong>Work small</strong><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode=""> I learned this the hard way! Because students will be adding color by firmly coloring with crayon, be ready for a little coloring fatigue. A way around that is to use small paper. I used 6" and 4" squares. I wouldn't recommend anything larger!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode="">* </span><strong>Use India ink, not paint </strong><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode="">I noticed that with acrylic paint, it didn't really stay in the crumbled areas once rinsed where the permanent ink did. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode="">* </span><strong>Crumble the paper ONCE </strong><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode="">I tried crumbling the paper multiple times to add more cracks and you can see that in the piece that is in the golden frame. However, once I rinsed the ink off the paper, all those cracks caused weak spots in the paper and it did tear in a couple of places. Which leads me to my next suggestion: </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode="">* </span><strong>Rinse once and that's it! </strong><span arial="" grande="" helvetica="" lucida="" sans-serif="" sans="" unicode="">I would recommend students carry their artwork to you on a tray so as not to drip. Then, simply slide the artwork under the running water, allow the ink to rinse off quickly and then set on a paper-towel covered surface like a counter. This should be a quick process to keep the paper from becoming too saturated and fragile.&nbsp;</span></span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6IIrvf7wqix2EsaAvZkF1Xr-zLkMr0bZ_tqi-u6Fdj5SBuZUgem9TckvBzG37eZ66p_WxcwL4NAJr6E3D81ZHdxwJ4FfMUvp0WOFru2wEyC_Gx9sd019go9M7i8CrldnhqWr__U5hxor-4deEZJLdxsoLPFTLyC4aGL63D_jkExj05d13YizKOEyp3qMx/s2949/IMG_9586.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2949" data-original-width="2949" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6IIrvf7wqix2EsaAvZkF1Xr-zLkMr0bZ_tqi-u6Fdj5SBuZUgem9TckvBzG37eZ66p_WxcwL4NAJr6E3D81ZHdxwJ4FfMUvp0WOFru2wEyC_Gx9sd019go9M7i8CrldnhqWr__U5hxor-4deEZJLdxsoLPFTLyC4aGL63D_jkExj05d13YizKOEyp3qMx/w640-h640/IMG_9586.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">And...by the way...the "gold frame" I used for mine is actually a paper plate from Hobby Lobby!

Prang has some super fun hands-on activities planned for you that I know you'll love!</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh8mBWEONJwhMkO_1lGwLKJE6UxxH30g1j1cKjm0zBwW-7VVrClBPMA6ZgMi6vGQy0wuswXzwdjip6CJhHMXFCx_2Y3arqmsdhLgngOHdiNFeThPavjnHouJ3yOjgyWweQ3OvkFMKK9cYWxOQTUjeYsAKxy_12QQ3t8Pe23bFNKI4xqSq0yXL985oykaii/s1008/Screenshot%202025-03-13%20at%2010.41.36%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="1008" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh8mBWEONJwhMkO_1lGwLKJE6UxxH30g1j1cKjm0zBwW-7VVrClBPMA6ZgMi6vGQy0wuswXzwdjip6CJhHMXFCx_2Y3arqmsdhLgngOHdiNFeThPavjnHouJ3yOjgyWweQ3OvkFMKK9cYWxOQTUjeYsAKxy_12QQ3t8Pe23bFNKI4xqSq0yXL985oykaii/w640-h224/Screenshot%202025-03-13%20at%2010.41.36%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq7xIq6L8N7g7ig9KHb_SyNJWtPeqen6FeeUhhTPXasmmtHDzMeMSTFvTb-lzscqSFnF_iAJIN-4NysO2B-po-TUegtU4yAjQ-WiFLZqdvNdH_-sA9ca0yT8EeD69I1KhPypzd82wQAztqtSXIKqw_pW0AXpbLJ3xup0oejoSbWK4jSBQdGmcQ_-KNKuLg/s694/Screenshot%202025-03-13%20at%2010.41.44%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="336" data-original-width="694" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq7xIq6L8N7g7ig9KHb_SyNJWtPeqen6FeeUhhTPXasmmtHDzMeMSTFvTb-lzscqSFnF_iAJIN-4NysO2B-po-TUegtU4yAjQ-WiFLZqdvNdH_-sA9ca0yT8EeD69I1KhPypzd82wQAztqtSXIKqw_pW0AXpbLJ3xup0oejoSbWK4jSBQdGmcQ_-KNKuLg/w640-h310/Screenshot%202025-03-13%20at%2010.41.44%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><a href="https://cassiestephens.com/">But if you can't make it, know that you can always find my books here</a>!
