Art Attack ;)

Well, ladies, I'm surprised by the fact that my creative vein is bleeding again. The topic of my "oeuvre" is the woman and her different facets. Well, all of the famous artists showed their male perspective. I'll show a more female perspective. It isn't a very innovative act (remember Cindy Sherman or Frida Kahlo) but it's a nice try.
Tell me what do you think? A good or bad idea?

I really like the first one. The second one isn't too my taste but it'd done well.

I can't believe you didn't name Georgia O'Keefe as one of the ladis in the movement. With all her vagina-y flowers she should definaltely be an inspiration.

I hope you post some more paintings up when you do more.

Thx for your + feedback.

So sorry that I missed to mention Giorgia O'Keefe... She's a great painter but unforunately she isn't my source of inspiration. I have to admit that I can't do the same with flowers. My painted flowers appear boring therefore I don't chose them as my subject of painting.
But, hey, nobody's perfect.

Btw, I'm also lookong forward to seeing pics from your art works, too!

Waht do you think of it?

knoxydoll · Apr 25, 2007

I'm torn on it. It's not really the style I really enjoy; but I think I get the message. Ophelia being Hamlet's love who killed her self in the river... which is why you have the blue background... Correct? I think you lose a sense of her being dead because at first it looks like she's sleeping. It took me a bit to realise she had slit her wrists. I think adding red blood would have been very more dramatic then the blue background.
Keep up the good work.

You don't have to like it just because it's mine.

Honestly, there aren't lots of iconographical parallels to shakespeare's play. I thought it was time to break the traditional bonds. The blue is used in a symbolical way. Yeah, your first impression was right. She seems to sleep. And yes, it was my intention to eclipse her death. No drama, no cry... She's just one of the anonymous people who commit suicide due to different reasons. So, everyone is a prospective Ophelia...

I was more torn because I loved Ophelia, she was always my favourite. But that's a pretty good explanation. :thumbsup:

I think it's well done, but it's not something I'd have on my walls. But that's just because I'm going to have robots and pirates everywhere lol

kimmy · Apr 26, 2007

Urbana · Apr 28, 2007

Yes, Ophelia also was my fave character of the play. She was the only person who knew too much (she was too clever) and couldn't stand this burden due to her emotional chaos.
Thanks for the compliment.

Well, I studied art history... So it's my job (maybe a mania) analyzing works of art.
Your robot is very cute, btw. It's somehow pop art. May I ask you why you're "obsessed" by robots and pirates?

Sorry for my English but it lets me sometimes down... Not enough practice.

happy*phantom · Apr 30, 2007

@kimmy and urbana: Thanks for your great feedback!

mzcelaneous · Apr 30, 2007

Just saw your photos on flickr. You're an awesome artist. Great work girl!

I'm not sure why I love robots so much.
I always loved boats and sailing and everyone has to be a little dangerous now and then right?

happy*phantom · May 22, 2007

@cel.: Thanks for this compliment. I really appreciate it. Well, I'm always impressed by your photoprphic masterpieces. You rule!
@knoxy: Maybe robots represent a positive reminiscence of your childhood. It's always something psychological.

I'd love to see more art work from you on deviant art. You know, the traditional art.

happy*phantom · May 22, 2007

Hi lovely ladies! I am back with some unspectacular new stuff. Don't expect too much because I'm too exhausted for artistic challenges.
I can't take photos at the moment. Digi is broken. Damn thing!

So I have to use the good old scanner. Always an adventure using it.

1.) Bored (of) Beauty: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21749481@N00/507943595/

2.) The Fake Fashion Collection I &II (yeah, I am mad!):

Don't say anything! I know it's rubbish that isn't worth the trouble!
Thanks for your patience with me, btw!

happy*phantom · Jun 11, 2007

It's me again with new stuff. I'm still into the depicting of women from a female pont of view. I finally had the time using my brushes and colours again. Hope you like the results:

1) Contemplative mood

2) The promise
