Lightning Fields  Hirsoshi Sugimoto I’m in the planning stages of a large dark figurative piece and was inspired with the clean and textured photographs of artist Hiroshi Sugimoto at Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco this past weekend.  The gripping color and depth to his work can inspire artists of any level.  Visit the beautiful Fraenkel Gallery website for works from the exhibit.  With paint, I want to achieve the same effect of clarity but intimacy with the subdued composition, but can lose the detail of the subject with a dark background.  Hiroshi’s work and artistry is captured well in the Art21 episode that was aired on PBS’s website.  Hiroshi Sugimoto     website

Visited a fantastic gallery in Carmel yesterday.  American Art Gallery in Carmel, CA has an eclectic and beautiful collection of interesting paintings from the U.S. and Canada.                           I visited the gallery quickly while walking to lunch yesterday - didn’t have the time to write down the artists and history of the gallery.  Their website doesn’t do the gallery justice as the work on site is tremendously inspiring.  A refreshing break from the plein aire, Thomas Kinkade ocean paintings in most windows in the area.  Check it out.

artchipel: Tumblr Artist Kevin Townsend | 7knotwind (b.1975, USA) - Sickness took her
. Charcoal, ink, shellac and latex emulsion
 (2008) Kevin Townsend is a USA-based painter, printmaker and former master printer for Hand Print Workshop International and River Tree Arts. His current work is inspired by the physiological processes of memory formation and the degradation / alteration of memory over time. Having worked as a master printer for Russian paper architect and artist Alexander Brodsky and influenced by the work of the paper architects, he began using his drawings as a way to explore metaphors for the internal sites, spaces and vessels of memory capture, containment and collection, envisioning them as installation pieces with the idea that they would only exist as drawings. “By initially denying myself the ability to construct these pieces forced me to keep re-imagining and redrawing them from memory.
 More recently I have begun using the drawings as plans, creating small scale installation pieces.” (interview with artist by ARTchipel Oct-2011) You can visit Kevin’s website or follow his Tumblr to explore his work & inspirations. [Kevin Townsend on ARTchipel]
