Just don't look at his digital paintings. Talk about cheese.
Holy...Gallery two, there's a painting with a girl's head floating in midair, like the cheshire cat, with huge alien geen eyes/no nose. Very very creepy.
I like his landscape stuff much more than his scarified/jumbled people stuff. A few in particular are really awesome and make me want to start writing shit that takes place there. I do like the one painting of the person in gallery one where it's almost as if you're looking at the back of it but you see the bone tooth smile.
I'd love to play an adventure game with settings from some of those backdrops. Something that goes in and out of the fabric of reality.
My favorite painting of all time is probably,Lord Fredrick Leighton's "Flaming June" (1895) on display at the Ponce Museum of Art.
The question you need to ask yourself is "Should the art fit the room or the room fit the art?" If there was a print you felt really strongly about, then you just put it up regardless. But if you're picking something to complement your room (which is what I'm guessing cause your asking for suggestions) Size and color are the two major criteria for selecting art to fit its surroundings.
For any particular space, art that is too large will overwhelm, and art that is too small will be lost , or look disproportionate. Just look for something that you can display at around eye level, that matches the color scheme/style of the room. For example, if the room is painted blue, and has a modern edge to it, Flaming June which is warm colors might not be the best fit. Or stick to neutrals and muted colors that go anywere.
Then look for prints that fall into that catagory.
heh, I was wondering what happened to my thread. Just look at my first post for what my reccommendations would be.
I also dig a lot of the "Lowbrow" or outsider art you find in Juxtapoz. Mark Raiden, Jeff Soto, Camille Rose Garcia, etc.

Google Art Nouveau and Bauhaus to school yourself on where a lot of the modern styles started to take shape.Quote:

And be sure to check out Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights for some early [1504] mind blowing art.
Wow, that is really beautiful! I'd love to see that is real life, but I doubt I'll be in Puerto Rico anytime soon. Anyhow, I'll have to look into Lord Fredrick Leighton.Quote:
