O.K. so my favorite source of art news has once again introduced me to something super cool - the Chinese artist Zhang Qikai. I love his stuff! He reminds me a lot of Magritte, and surrealism in general. I love the fantasy aspect of his work! He uses the Panda in a lot of his work, which the article I linked to above goes into more detail about. I like Asian art, but I usually like European or American art much better - I think because I understand the historical and cultural context a lot more, but this artists I LOVE! And I think he is one of the first Asian artists I have really been excited about knowing, I will definitely keep my eye out for more news on him. I love fantasy paintings - I love Chagall and Magritte surrealism, and French Roccoco artists with their big broccoli trees and marshmallow clouds, and now I will add Qikai to this list, yay!
Another artist I heard about today ( in the Standard Examiner, no less!) is Wayne Thiebaud, who has an exhibit at the Springville Art Museum. He is a pretty famous artist of the Pop Art style. His stuff is also fun, but in a more realistic way. He does paintings of food and other common day things. He also lived in Utah for a year or two. Some pretty big museums (like the MOMA) have his works in their permanent collections! Hopefully I get a chance to see his Springville exhibit, all his work I have seen so far has been really good! It reminds me of Warhol's Soup Cans, and Oldenburg sculptures - which are always so fun to learn about.
Also, on Monday me and Lori are going down to the BYU Museum of Art to see their Victorian Art exhibit - and I'm pretty dang excited!!! I love the fairytale, shakespearean, beautiful style of the pre-raphaelites. MMM, I can't wait. A blog about that is sure to be in the future :).
