Robert Mars American Artist discusses his process and concepts. Video Clips. Duration : 4.18 Mins.
Robert Mars discusses the concepts behind his artwork and how the 1960's had significant impact in creating icons of American history that still have relevance today. These icons exist in architecture, furniture design, typography, Automobile design, as well as the socialites and movie stars of the era. Mars is a product of the subdivided and nuanced skateboarding subculture of the early 1980's. In the pre-internet era, where information was not instantly available to millions, any show, meet-up, or happening might be advertised on one flyer or by word of mouth. Only those "in the know" had access to their personal heroes, their icons. In merging his concept of personal idols with those of a more mainstream audience, Mars has focused his work on a deeper analysis of what he considers a "Golden Age" of more accessible American personalities. He has always been fascinated with the era of the 1960's. His early work reflects many of the architectural and mechanical icons of the era. Muscle cars, motels, logos, and hulking monuments to the "modern" feeling of the 1960's permeate his sometimes-lonely landscapes. His more recent work celebrates the culture of celebrity of the 1960's. He is attuned to the instantly recognizable luminaries and idols of the era. The feeling is that there was a tighter cast of characters that achieved the zenith of their popularity in the 60's. There were no "instant internet" celebrities, and instead we live with the myth of more of the enduring ...

| "Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work." Chuck Close Inside an art gallery, it is easy to forget that the paintings there are the end products of a process involving not only creative inspiration, but also plenty of physical and logistical details. It is these "cruder," more mundane aspects of a painter's daily routine that motivated Brooklyn artist Joe Fig to embark almost ten years ago on a highly unorthodox, multilayered exploration of the working life of the professional artist. Determined to ground his research in the physical world, Fig began constructing a series of diorama-like miniature reproductions of the studios of modern art's most legendary painters, such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. A desire for firsthand references led Fig to approach contemporary artists for access to their studios. Armed with a camera and a self-made "Artist's Questionnaire," Fig began a journey through the workspaces of some of today's most exciting contemporary artists. Inside the Painter's Studio collects twenty-four remarkable artist interviews, as well as exclusive visual documentation of their studios. Featured artists were asked a wide range of questions about their day-to-day creative life, covering everything from how they organize their studios to what painting tools they prefer. Artists open up about how they set a creative mood, how they choose titles, and even whether they sit or stand to contemplate their work. Also included are a selection of Fig's meticulously detailed miniatures. In this context Fig's diminutive sculpturesreproducing minutiae of the studio, from paint-tube labels and paint splatters on the floor to the surface texture of canvasesbecome part of a fascinating new form of portraiture as diorama. Inside the Painter's Studio offers a rare look into the self-made universe of the artist's studio. Inside the Painter's Studio features interviews with Gregory Amenoff, Ross Bleckner, Chuck Close, Will Cotton, Inka Essenhigh, Eric Fischl, Barnaby Furnas, April Gornik, Jane Hammond, Mary Heilmann, Bill Jensen, Ryan McGinness, Julie Mehretu, Malcolm Morley, Steve Mumford, Philip Pearlstein, Matthew Ritchie, Alexis Rockman, Dana Schutz, James Siena, Amy Sillman, Joan Snyder, Billy Sullivan, and Fred Tomaselli. ...Read more |

New in Paperback! Brush up your books and PDF portfolios and improve your understanding of what the current standards are. ...Read
more Presenting one's portfolio is where every designer begins his or her career. Therefore, crafting a portfolio, whether online or for presentation in person, is an essential skill for survival. Because a portfolio can make or break a career, it is vital that designers go out armed with all the right moves and materials. This book talks both to the professionals who have both designed their own portfolios and those on the other side of the table who have looked at scores of portfolios, to uncover the tips and tricks that have won jobs, as well as the must-avoid moves that have lost opportunities. This book is not only a handbook for dos and don'ts; it also provides plenty of inspiration from a wide collection of portfolios, both virtual and real-life. This book asks leaders in the field about the real-world realities of presenting one's work for consideration and answers the question, "What sells and what doesn't"? |
