artist crush: allison freeman

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Allison Freeman paints office supplies on canvas and slate. The artist’s bio talks about the theme of “blankness” in her work, but what I’m attracted to is the simple humor. I also appreciate that this is a mainstream subject that pretty much anyone can identify.

Revisiting the work of Mary Laube. These pieces are part of Practical Joy which I believe is the Korean-born artist’s MFA thesis.

Jessica Bell on Buy Some Damn Art

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

How stunning are these textile works by Jessica Bell? They are all for sale on my other site, Buy Some Damn Art. I envy whoever ends up with these lovely pieces!

The artist on her process:

“I start with a piece of fabric that is very small and I build out. I put pieces together and then I take them apart in a different way. I cut the pieces up and reassemble them relentlessly… I actually think these pieces are made in much same way as the paintings and collages I have made in the past, this compulsive taking apart and putting together, adding and subtracting.”
