Born in 1915 in Kalofer, Bulgaria, Stefan Kirov Kanchev — the son of an iconographer — studied mural painting in the National Art Academy with Dechko Uzunov.

In 1971 he was honored with the Bulgarian title of National Artist, though to date, his work remains largely unknown in many parts of the world. In an effort to to pre... - Link

Scale, Size, Repetition, Movement and Composition /////////////////// Chris Jordan's Running the Numbers series continues with new work, including Lightbulbs. This photo collage represents the 320,000 lightbulbs that equal the number of kilowatt hours of electricity wasted in the US per minute, due to inefficient household electricity use.

Recycled House, Storybook Roof

tiffany sum (sumdb) — 2009-09-07 04:01:51

Use salvage materials to make a house. Rearrange broken pieces to create a roof with characters. The builder, Mr. Phillips, calls it Storybook house, I think it is Mymble's house, a character from the Moomin, by the Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. I grew up watching the Moomins and Mymble is always the mischief in the show and annoyingly sly. I dun like her and she reminds me of me! ... - Link

This site is a selection of "art" related news. Art is indeed a big word that needs quotation and explanation.

Since I'm teaching Foundation Computer Art (149) and Computer Art (349) at California State University, Long Beach, these entries serve as inspiration, expande... - Link

Richard Serra: 40 years of works Amazing work of art that transcends time, space and placement of body. The immersion of self and the intimitation of envelopment are equally beautiful and sublime. Only if we can wrap our mind around the physicality of material and its tension that stretch us far from our reality. Too bad I couldn't make it, sigh, so closed though~... - Link
