Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together. John Ruskin
OK folks, what the hell is going on with all you visitors tonight- a Christmas night lull? New computer or iPad? Noodling around working off the last eggnog? I checked my stats and WHOA, they had to give me an extension on my chart. Thanks! Not that I keep track, but it is lovely to see new folks. Stick around or pop back in more frequently- there will be a whole new crop of odd art and snark for the New Year.
Olek‘s work is an absolutely fantastical explosion of bright-textural fun. Often taking her work outside the white walls of galleries and into the streets, Olek has taken fibers to a place most thought impossible. Some of the works she has made recently include huge feats such as completely encasing the Wall Street Bull in neon crocheted and knitted camouflage pattern and re-adorning a whole locomotive in rainbow patterned softness- completely handwoven. Her work tends to encase and cover objects and people- creating whole installations, performance art costumes and beautiful sculptural objects in a sort of renegade demonstration of liberated punk-rock-quirk.
Now THIS is the kind of present I want under my tree! Yep, haphazardly wrapped gifts, which are actually insanely precise paintings {oil on canvas} by Swedish painter Yrjö Edelmann. GORGEOUS.
A Pocket Pet! Yeah, The baby squirrel is back! Such a fine little guy!
But just wait till you see the human baby with his new chubs!
