BEAUTY: Drawing and Digital Art--Toshihiko Okuya

The thoughtful work of Japanese artist Toshihiko Okuya is entirely engaging. He imports pencil drawings into a digital format and adds color. The results are fascinating. I see echoes of so many great artists in his work: Miro, Bacon, Picasso, Klee...

BEAUTY: Digital Art--Andrea Zanatelli

Artist Andrea Zanatelli has worked with  Florence Welch and Courtney Love on some amazing projects, and his Embroidery Series captures all the Edwardian, Gothic Revival, Pre-Raphaelite, and Victorian sense of his work. These are not actual embroidered pieces but digital composites of individual images of fabrics and embroidered and beaded objects. Stunning...

BEAUTY: Painting--The Luthier

An artist who goes only by the name The Luthier creates stunning images of people playing lutes. Their works look like Renaissance imagery complete with a copious amount of flowers and citrus fruits. But look at the mix of those sumptuous patterns and saturated colors. Just gorgeous.

The Luthier site says:
"Who can undo What time hath done? Who can win back the wind? Reckon lost music from a broken lute? Renew the redness of a last year's rose? Or dig the sunken sunset from the deep? We Can

I am The Luthier. I build lutes using acrylic, print, machine learning, digital manipulation, digital painting and collage."

BEAUTY: Digital Collage--Maia Valenzuela

Apropos of my David Bowie posting yesterday, here, where an AI created images for each line of his iconic "Space Oddity" song, artist Maia Valenzuela has created a digital collage for each track of every album Bowie ever recorded! Some of my favorites she created are from "Low," his first album in a trio that has become known as The Berlin Trilogy. If you know the album, you will see she captured a sense of each song. And if you don't know the album, treat yourself and find a way to listen to the entire thing. Released in 1977, smack in the middle of the disco and punk eras, this avant-garde-ambient-electronic-abstract collection which had nothing to do with any other music of the time stumped even Bowie fans. Produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, with flashes of typical genius from Brian Eno, previously here, it sounds nothing like anything else Bowie created up to that point, and indeed unlike almost anything else that was being recorded by anyone else at the time. The musical and lyrical offerings on "Low" are minimal but pack quite a punch.

BEAUTY: Digital Art--Robert Montgomery

Phenomenal multimedia artist and poet Robert Montgomery (previously here) has created a digital artwork that is being sold as NFT through Known Origin. Called You Are An Agent Of Free Sunlight, the narrative content is his usual exquisite, devastatingly spot-on poetry critiquing our world in the most evocative and achingly beautiful terms and ideas.
