“The professional artist is a deviation, even an anomaly. In 1924 no professional athletes were allowed to compete in the Paris Olympics. So why can’t we reject the professional cliques of painting, writing, sculpting and businessman? The work of art should not be the subject of commercial speculation nor of academic discussion. In essence it … Continue reading "The Surreal Mashed-Up World of Art Revolutionary Karel Teige"

I was astounded to learn that 22-year-old Hungarian photographer Noell S. Oszvald who lives and works in Budapest picked up a camera only a year ago. The gifted artist has shared only two dozen or so images with the world via Flickr but they already show an accomplished grasp of composition, editing and digital manipulation. Oszvald tells Alice over at My Modern Met that she chooses only to work in black and white because she finds color distracting from her conceptual ideas. More

Claude Verlinde is a French painter who works in the vein of “fantastic realism”, sometimes called “magic realism”, and his work shows the lineage of fantastical art from Bruegel and Bosch to the Surrealists and contemporary magic realists. I would also suspect that a number of the Surrealists, and certainly contemporary magic realists, were influenced by his work (not to mention the production designers of the Harry Potter movies).

Today, we are featuring Qasim Iqbal’s stunning baroque structures that were created with the help of the AI tool “Midjourney”. The architecture student started creating these images near the end of July and has gained lots of appreciation for his works till now. In an interview with Demilked, he says, “The main purpose behind my AI work is rooted in my love for Architecture. I am a master of Architecture student so I was initially just trying to pick up another skill that I could possibly use in my projects, but then I realised I could create concepts and ideas that I’ve imagined but not been able to try with the constraints of more realistic projects. Therefore, the focus of my AI work is always to try and create Architecture which seems impossible but is also grounded with real-life aspects making the impossible Architecture seem possible (one day).”
