Any ideas?

[krazyklaire]

Hi

I'm sorry to bother you with this but I'm really stuck for ideas.

I'm an A-level art student (this is sounding incredibly cliché already isn't it?) and I've just been given a project brief about still life - nothing more specific, just still life. I'm hoping to be able to do a final piece which is a bit more 3-D or sculptural than the paintings and drawings that the others in my class seem to be headed towards.

The only problem I have with this, is that I need to research another artists work which would appear to naturally inspire my final piece.

So does anybody know of any artists I could research who have at some point focused on still life but in a format which is more akin to where I'm hoping to go with my project?

Anything you could suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Clare

...try going to www.google.com and typing in "dutch still life"...

...and if you read about their techniques you'll learn how to gain total control over the treatment of light,shade,colour and form...

THE DEFASTENIST MANIFESTO STATES: We The Defastenist artists and other creative practitioners are making art about the only things we know to be truely original.WHICH ARE: The fetishes, obsessions and eccentricities which define our creative personalities. By giving form to these internal obsessions , we create a truely original art (As no two humans brains work identically. The Defastenists see the current cultural aparatus as being obsolete. the museums, the pretentious commercial galleries, the academies, the bourgeois critics and the dull minded curators: These are the cultural paralsys of the end of the last century. This is the start of a new century, a time when excitement and vitality and bohemian fun are nessisary to shape the aesthetic of the epoch. Defastenist artists, curators, periodicles, expositions, cabarets and enthusiasm shall be the light that revives excitment and energy to art and life.

Go to www.neoimages.com and look up the artist Doug Parry. His drawings and paintings really come to life. They are mainly portraits but can give you some ideas on how to manipulate your medium. He is a wonderful artist. There are other things to look at if you click the pictures to the left of the screen. Also if you click on the images they can enlarge. I hope this helps you.

Here's a Still Life Wall Sculpture

This last one takes long to load cuz of the pictures. I'm sure you'll be inspired by the different subjects for you to view.

It's been 6 months since you've made your post. You might've completed this project already. Hope you're able to give us an update... or even say hi.

I hope this has been helpful.
