Suren Manvelyan - Staring into spirits

 Suren Manvelyan was born1976 and has become a professional photographer in 2008. His distinctive styles have captivated millions of people's eyes. In his work, he focused on portraits. He is especially interested in eyes, which include those of human's and animals. 

I am interested in  drawing eyes too. I have tried to convey the liveness and the spirit in the eyes. However, I found out that difficult to make an eye telling ideas and voices.

As I saw  Suren Manvelyan's work i believe that I can develop towards the beauty of nature especially that of organisms.

I have shared his works of his eye portrait below:

OLE MARTIN LUND BØ - An space creater

While I am scrolling down webpage, I was suddenly captivated by the creative illusions created by Ole Martin Lund Bo. In  Ole Martin Lund Bo's sculptures, the lines and shapes merges into a space where the feelings burst out from the core of the sculpture. Perhaps, it is conveying my current feeling even though I did not know what was the actually feelings and things came across my mind. In his art work, he made the chaotic scene contain a sense of harmony.  Ole Martin Lund Bo utilized the element and the principle of art successfully put lives into his art works. I would like to share  Ole Martin Lund Bo's art work on my blog below.


I am not only fascinated by his work but was also inspired by the simple but intircate from of his sculpture. I am thinking about to adopt his element into my draft and sketches in the following project.


One of his most famous art work is "Deceptive Outward Appearance"

Impression on the Video

http://vimeo.com/4581265\

After watching this video, to be honest, I wasn' t fascinated by it since I have seen many other similar effect with artistic design. Domino is the first thing that come up to my my when I was watching  the video. Yet, I am impressed by the accuracy how different sections of chemical and physical reactiions are interconnected.

Do you think this is art? Why or why not?

I don't really think it is a form of art. To me, art is a way yo convey ideas or  asthetic values. I believe this in my own opinion. Maybe some will think it is a form of art. I thnik its just a consecutive chemical reactions that have been presiely calculated and putted together.

Does it remind you of anything?

This video reminds me of domino. I have seen art works made with domino or used it as a medium. It is sort of like the concept of domino where the precious action will lead to the scond one.

After all, although I did not enjoy the video not think it's a form of art, most importantly, I found inspirations from it.

Kit Webster

 

I first learn about Kid Webster when I was working on my project cutting cardboards. Mrs. Jones told the fascinating art work created by him with sculptures and laser lights. He inspired me by the variety of light patterns and movements in his projects. These are his projects that I want to share with you from his website:



 

Besides, I was also mesmerrized by this short film

Sandrine Vallée

As we are working on clays the studio art class right now, I googled surreal sculptures with clay and found outstanding works Sandrine Vallée. He is a French plastic artist who makes drawings, sculptures, and paintings. The subject that he works on dictates his choice of the artistic technique. He utilizes different materials and forms of artistic expressions to give substance to the ideas.

He began with modeling the clay. His earlier sculptures are mostly figurative, and mostly female characters. As the time goes on, he started to simplify the shapes, and focus on the movements, and the curves. His sculptures was no longer detailed by express the dynamics within his work. After all, he started to work on surreal projects.

The simplicity and the dynamics of the works have attracted and fascinated me. His work reaches a point that is between complex and simple. He utilizes different materials to create new sculptures and projects.

After I researched on Sandrine Vallée, I started to consider about to use different materials to be my medium of my projects. Perhaps, I can focused more on the motion and the rhythm of the work instead of the details.
