Are you in the Crowd?

Brazilian artist Guilherme Kramer has spent a year hand-painting faces onto office walls. It obviously took him a lot of time and dedication to finalize the piece, but the end result is really good!

Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ Painting Made from 7,067 Falling Dominoes

Industrious domino artist FlippyCat recreated Vincent van Gough’s famous Starry Night painting using 7,067 dominoes stacked vertically and horizontally to create an impressive chain reaction that seems to sprawl in the same direction as the artist’s brushstrokes. The video above contains some pretty heartbreaking outtakes as well. See also his Domona Lisa from 2007.

Salvador Dalí Photo

It can be discouraging to hear about a major painting selling into a private collection, knowing it will rarely be seen. However it is something to rejoice over when a major painting sells to a museum and can be seen by the public.
The 1934 painting ‘Enigmatic Elements in the Landscape,’ the surrealist painting by Salvador Dalí was sold to the Gala-Salvador Foundation for $11,000,000 US.
“This is a prodigy of a painting, immaculate, intense and just a very good painting. It’s simply marvelous,” the director of Antoni Pitxot said.
It was last exhibited in 1999 in New York City’s Guggenheim Museum. I suggest you get to the Salvador Dali Museum in FIgueras to see it and many other great work by the Maestro.

Mary Cassatt Paintings

Mary Stevenson Cassatt (May 22, 1844 -- June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker. She lived much of her adult life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists.

Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children. LINK: Youtube

Hyperreal photoreal painting

On the Saturday arts and crafts market in San Francisco's Justin Herman Plaza, there is an artist who paints and sells his work from inside a small cart. His specialty is making "photorealistic" reproductions of celebrity photos and passers-by. Based on the nude on the left though, it seems that some of his models may live in the Uncanny Valley. I rather like this artwork though and next time may ask if it's for sale. Click the image to see it larger. LINK: Boingboing

Chris Berens new dreamlike paintings on photo paper

Amsterdam painter Chris Berens has a show of new work opening today at Seattle's Roq La Rue Gallery. Above, "Microcosmos," (mixed media on panel, 20" x 20"). Below, "Leap" (mixed media on panel, 18" x 18"). Berens's dreamy images have a decidedly Photoshop feel, but they are not digital. (I can tell by the paint drops?) Indeed, he prefers ink on photo paper to oil on canvas. All of the work is also viewable online. From Roq La Rue: LINK: Boingboing

Longtime Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell inspires ArtPrize painting

GRAND RAPIDS -- Jerry Douglas never has been a big baseball fan.

Lucky for him, Ernie Harwell transcended sports.

Douglas, an artist from Boyne City, has ventured to ArtPrize 2010 with his oil painting "Voice from the Shadows," a 7-foot image depicting Harwell, the late longtime Detroit Tigers radio broadcaster, looking down from his announcer's booth over the players and fans in old Tiger Stadium.

The painting is on display at God's Kitchen, 303 S. Division Ave. LINK

Making Future Magic: iPad light painting

This film explores playful uses for the increasingly ubiquitous ‘glowing rectangles’ that inhabit the world.

They use photographic and animation techniques that were developed to draw moving 3-dimensional typography and objects with an iPad. In dark environments, they play movies on the surface of the iPad that extrude 3-d light forms as they move through the exposure. Multiple exposures with slightly different movies make up the stop-frame animation. LINK: Vimeo, Via: Walyou
