Intentions, intentions

it has been my intention for 4ish years now to do a “low-key” blog– just post things i like. sometimes with words, sometimes not. so i’ve been compiling all this stuff in a folder of things i like. lemme share a few here, now. and after we get to know each other better, i’ll share with you my reluctance towards blogging. in the blogosphere. as a blogger. writing blogs. having blogged.

now for some art:

#1 Yang Shaobin.

I turned the corner on the second floor of the SFMOMA one mild day in 2008 and was immediately assaulted by wall-sized red, dripping men biting eachother and themselves. I was immediately taken by the violence and the intimacy of this work. It’s a little twisted David Lynch dreamscape and a little split personality Fight Club. And a little I ate my twin in the womb. I’m constantly curious about the seemingly conflicting “hyper masculine” imagery blooming from soft lines and cloud-like graduation. Love it.

#2 Frederic Edwin Church

A landscape artist from Connecticut. Bo-ring, right? Um, not really. When I was a security guard at the Portland (Maine) Museum of Art (for all of 2 weeks), I would jump at the chance to guard the 4th floor. Because baby seagulls were being hatched on the roof and because of the F.E.C. exhibit.  Goddamn he can paint some light, huh? Homeboy traveled a lot and was taken by the different sky-scapes he came upon.  These pictures do bare justice to the real thing. 

#3 Shameless plugs of other pals’ blogs:
