Las Vegas- art and architecture

Wow! I went crazy in Las Vegas with all the amazing art hosted in hotels and the architecture of the hotels and casinos were extravagant and modern (well some were tastefully done).

Loads of new paintings

Wow its been a while since I have updated me blog with the work I have been doing as well as exhibits I have been to etc. So I think I will keep it at a slow pace and update some completed works today and keep on top of it from now on.

Here are a few paintings I have completed, enjoy!

Chester Dale collection

Visited the National Gallery of Art- West wing and was really impressed by the Chester Dale collection of French paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Who is Chester Dale? A really wealthy man making it big on the wall street but having a great interest in art, as well as being on the board and the president of the National Gallery of Art.

Here are some photos of paintings that i loved!

This week we are going to the opening of Tony Savoie.

Museum talk over Yves Klein at Hirshorn Museum

Learning about this artist has changed my perspective over monochromatic pantings.

The depth of the blue (named after the artist) as well as the definition of shape and line are accentuated over the shadows and highlights.

His experimentation with art using bodies and sponges to paint his forms opened a new sense of expression for abstract artists then and till today.

Thesis block: Biomorphic patterns vs. geometric forms

Check out the photos from my visit the the National Arboretum where we visited an amazing bonsai tree collection, some dating from 1700's! Inspiration for my thesis and work.
