inheritance

The other day as im playing about in my granparents house i find stuff. by stuff i mean a rolleiflex, i still have to findout from what year, a canon t70 with 5 lenses and filters, and an ancient film camera. plus their flashs and suff..and i have officially inherited them. yey me. now i just have to figure out how to use them properly. oooh and i can use the lenses on my canon ftb which is stil repairing at the photographers. but im so excited....
oh and i went to this moens family reunion and i met a cousin of mine who is a part time photographer and she actually takes pictures of artists and their studios, in addition to random french and belgian famous people i dont know. i went on her site http://www.patriciamathieu.be wasnt THAT impressed, i did howven like her squat stuff, anyway im keeping contact and she's up for making me meet all these artists she photographs next time im in belgium.
oh and theres more, our family friend is a full time artist i did some pages on her, i like her work, its actually pretty good for fanaticism, she's a tango dancer and she's really passionate about it and so she's done all these figures in reds and blacks on big canvases of tango dancers, and some bronze sculpture...its maybe a little cliche but the painting style she uses, is relevant and the theme too because passion can be both a result of fanticism and a cause. she has a blog, but its got none of her new stuff on the tango. http://edithsmets.blogspot.com/2008/10/last-exhibition-edith-on-way-brussels.html
can that count as my exhibition pages?

looking at fanatics...


Looking through a few pictures i had on my computer i realised that our school is filled with fanatical looking people.
a lot of the pictures come from rock for ZAmbia these are just sketches of people who's expressions were quite powerful. i thought about ,maybe doing a project in parallel to the anti fanatic one.
i thought about taking the same person and do the anti fanatical one in a realistic style like the johnny one and the other would be in a different more 'fanatical style' i'd have to look into different styles, i was thinking francis bacon or maybe do it with my fingers with lots material, the idea is that it has to look excessive so yea..

finished my johnny painting


finished it! uhm yea..is it enough as a project or do i need to do like a few more paintings like the nathan one and stuff??
i think i'll do a few live sketches soon too..

roberto ferri..



my cousin from belguim was here some time ago and so i was forced to show him around the centre despite the unbearable heat and overwhelming flux of tourist.
As we are walking around visiting, i decided ti find refuge by going to a free art exhibition. Figured it would be like killing two birds with one stone.
so i stumbled upon Roberto Ferri.
to be honest i foung his art to be rather morbid and distrubing. His paintings were rather grotesque takes of both roman mythology and Biblical episodes.
what was interesting was the style, very much renaissancy and evidently very classical...great attention to detail and a particular emphasis on the human form, with muscular men and women merged and into storytelling canvases in rather dark colours, and overall quite macabre.
I just thought seeing as i did a section of my research on Religious fanaticism, i thought the style of painting could be tied back to this. Plus with the work that i did on the human figure i was just impressed by the bodies and their depictions.

If i were to live ina box it would look like this..




So i like boxes, and i was walking around in the other day when, all of a sudden, i see a box, a special one. I didnt have a camera or anything but i thought it inspiring and i think , maybe, at some point i might do some boxes with stuff in them...like a sculpture made out of lots of boxes... it could possibly relate to intimacy, the way there's the exterior and the interior, the interior obviously being symbolic of intimacy..or something esle. i dont know. but i want to do boxes. because they look like lots of fun.
YEY Boxes...
plus if i were to live in a box, which would be fun, i think i'd want it to look good. OOOOOHHH..i could do like a little person in a box...like a little voodoo dool person and lots of collage stuff... ok i could do like a series, i like series maybe i could base them on fictional characters, like each box is a fictional characters mind...oh yea... lovely.
