Artwork and Paintings From Albert Oehlen Artist at the Saatchi Gallery
Albert Oehlen’s work focuses exclusively on exposing art’s failures. Borrowing from the tropes of traditional abstract painting, Oehlen readily subverts art’s lofty idealism. Using traditional forms and techniques, he conceives a contemporary dialogue of criticism based on the possibilities of creative function rather than aesthetics. In a modern world where painting is considered dead, Albert Oehlen reinvents its life as a manic zombie state: mutated, funny and ideologically dangerous.

No CommentsThe Sedona Area Tattoo Parlor – an Art Studio for the Bodily Canvas
Sedona is considered an almost mythical destination within modern-day reality. It has been the subject of songs, an attraction for the spiritually adept and for those singular individuals in the quest for a Sedona area tattoo parlor. Think of the stars and stripes, think of wide open heavens and stretches of freedom beyond the borders of everyday life – perhaps these are the reasons why those with a burning personal liberation in their blood have come seeking Sedona area tattoo parlors – an identification of freedom.
But of course, the attraction of a Sedona area tattoo parlor will remain hidden to those who don’t have a tattoo and those unfortunate individuals that remain unaware of what it means to Read the rest of this entry »

No CommentsPaul Johnson Exhibitions and Paintings at Saatchi-gallery
Paul Johnson was born on 1972 lives and works in London. Paul Johnson’s exhibition at the gallery in 2003 one had to peer through the diaphanous surfaces of his collages to collect the fragments of an unsettling tableau. Placed over the work was a translucent laminate surface that stood between the picture plane and the viewer and which sealed inside the illusionism of the picture.
As a result, the details of the intensely made collages were removed from close scrutiny and what was left were the after-effects of the image. The graphic qualities of the collages functioned in a remote, imaginary way. There was no narrative immediacy, instead a slow disclosure, emptying out into strange, imaginative worlds.

No CommentsGerman Artist Jessica Stockholder at the Saatchi Gallery
Born in Seattle in 1959, Stockholder grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. She studied in the 1970s with sculptor Mowry Baden, whose architectural constructions from that period suggest bridges or passageways and other spaces through which the spectator moves. Baden’s commitment to physically involve the viewer in articulated arrangements of materials in space had a lasting influence on Stockholder. Originally a painter, she progressed from unstretched canvases to painted reliefs of cloth, wood and other materials before making her first large-scale installation in 1983. She received an MFA from Yale University in 1985 and lived in Brooklyn from 1985 until 1999. She is currently director of graduate studies in sculpture at Yale.Stockholder’s works consistently encourage movement around them and entice Read the rest of this entry »
No CommentsVietnamese Art Galleries – the Epicenter of Vietnamese Art
Vietnamese modern art is a rising force in the world of fine arts. And Vietnamese art galleries have played, and are still playing, a major role in this new surge of international enthusiasm around Vietnamese art. Let’s take a closer look at the immense contribution of Vietnamese art galleries to the widespread popularity of Vietnamese modern art.
The genesis of the current popularity of Vietnamese art can be traced back to the beginning of the last decade of the last century. It is during this time that Vietnamese art in general and contemporary Vietnamese art in particular have started to emerge from a state of virtually no recognition and anonymity to have its say on the world’s art scene.

No CommentsZhang Dali Paintings and Exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery
Zhang Dali’s intention throughout his body of work is to call attention to the changes taking place in Chinese society primarily due to the destruction of long standing communities. He wants to enter into a dialogue with his compatriots whom he sees as becoming increasingly estranged as the drive towards modernisation continues. His early graffiti work can still be seen all over the Chinese capital. His signature outline of a human head was found, among other places, on traditional courtyard houses marked for demolition. The artist called this graffiti work “Dialogue” and documented it by photography.According to the artist, immigrant workers who have traveled from the rural areas all over China to earn a living in construction sites in Chinese Read the rest of this entry »
No CommentsHow to Become a Wedding Photographer
Wedding photographers require creative zeal as well as technical knowledge of cameras, lighting and posing. Creative wedding photographers constantly strive to improve their work and endeavor to avoid the pitfall of producing the same poses week after week. Today’s brides want something a little bit different, so that their wedding pictures will be truly distinctive.
Unlike most other commercial areas of photography, wedding photographers need not be full-time or “professional†photographers. Most weddings occur on weekends-when most people are not working at their regular nine-to-five jobs-and anyone who owns the proper equipment and possesses the ability can photograph a wedding. For this reason, many people are or would like to become what professional full-time photographers call “weekendersâ€. Weekenders frequently Read the rest of this entry »
No CommentsHow Would You Like to Have Your Music Mastered Online?
The concept of premastering your music is a method that can save you a gobs of money when compared to having it all done at the replication house later on. It also does usually yield a better quality when doing it at a dedicated mastering house who does just that solely. Then it is always easy to find a good replication facility afterwards whom you can send your already premastered CD and they just have to do the replication without modifying the sound anymore.
Most mastering facilities have to charge an hourly rate for the time it takes to do compression, stereo-image-adjustments, equalize, or whatever else necessary to prepare the music for CD and Vinyl production and hence replication. Read the rest of this entry »
