phillip halsman

tiny picture. oh well. jumpology. halsman's thought was that the mask slips when one jumps.

alan grizzell

nearing my return to cincy, so excited to see the architecture and age again. this painter was our studio neighbor for a while, and had a beautiful winter night scene of this fiveway intersection across from the studio building hanging in the public hallway... much admired, so was happy to find this on the visual/lingual website.

cynthia vardhan

she works in columbus! yay ohio! slip trailing, pigmented slips. very engaging stuff.

jason briggs

though i've hoped to branch out in my searches, again found an artist on access ceramics that i needed to post. amazing. sick. he sands the porcelain to 1500 after ^10 firing. these are thrown then altered. where there is hair, he glues his eyelashes one by one. love the insane detail and the erotic but yucky feeling i'm left with. awesome.

sarah logan

backa carin ivarsdotter

having attempted to work with hair in some mixed media pieces, i really appreciate the simplicity of this. so creepy. so much personality for a rough cylinder.

this is called "corridor". she says she likes to use art like a stage set, so that the viewer is part of it.

also works with process-based ideas, some nice self destruct and destruction by environment pieces.

robert longo

pretty much impossible to overstate how much i love longo's men in the cities series. late '70's early '80's. so graceful. caught between dance and violence.

now that i have my very first follower who is not a personal friend, i thought i'd better start linking to my sources. http://www.davidpier.com/

more later. gotta run

ovidio giberga

amazing. working with figure as vessel idea, but also using stirrup as visual/design element. looks like terra cotta with engobes. uncertain. the foot is perhaps fired a bit higher. his website bills these as simply "ceramic"

bodil manz

she's a danish potter. these are porcelain. unbelievable. love. love.

gert germeraad

'portrait of a man' series. based on the work of phsycologist paul ekman. (who i also love) also has the 'four temperments' series, and the 'physiognomy' series. believe this is earthenware. some of his other work on accessceramics says it is fired to cone 5. not sure about these pieces. surface treatment is paint/ watercolor on much of his work. some are pigments.

bethany benson

benson has lovely functional work. what made me decide to post her were a pair of beach cups on access ceramics (see sidebar for link,) but the images on that site were a bit small so i found this one one her site. www.bethanybenson.com

this appears to be my long lost doppelganger. flocking, disembodied, earless heads. wow! and her artist's statement says she's influenced by horror films! love this lady!!
