Perfection

Isn’t God amazing? Look at the artistry in His creations. Listen to what they say. In nature is uniformity, originality,perfect law, perfect peace, and indescribable beauty. All one must do is notice it.

WARHOL

Andrew Varchola,Jr. was born in 1928 and died in 1987 due a post-operative cardiac arrhythmia.

You know him as Andy Warhol; an artist who became known for his exploration and expression of the visual arts, namely what became known as “POP art”. Andy had a successful career as a commercial illustrator before he became an american icon and, at times, a controversial artist.

He was a Pennsylvania native which boasts the largest museum in the USA that is dedicated to a single artist; The Andy Warhol Museum.

A few things you may not know about Andy Warhol:

  • He was shot in 1968 (3 days before Robert F. Kennedy was shot) by Valerie Solanas because she felt Andy had too much control over her life.
  • He was a religious man who worshiped regularly and volunteered at homeless shelters in New York. He depicted religious subjects in many of his paintings.
  • He founded the New York Academy of Art in 1979.
  • Warhol had his will set to give most of his estate to the advancement of the visual arts. Sotheby’s spent 9 days auctioning off his estate and this auction grossed more than $20million.

His Legacy:

Warhol is best known for his extremely simple, larger-than-life, high-contrast color paintings (silk-screen prints) of packaged consumer products, everyday objects, such as Campbell’s Soup, poppy flowers, and the banana appearing on the cover of the rock music album The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967), and also for his stylized portraits of twentieth century celebrity icons, such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Judy Garland, and Elizabeth Taylor. -wiki source

FAR OUT EAST

Her name is CHEN MAN. She was born in Beijing,China in 1980 and graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts with a graphic design degree. She is only 28 years old and has captured the photo industry in China with her modern insight for styling and most notably her ability to render her photographs into fantasy. She takes the pictures. She commands the tools of Photoshop. She manipulates the abilities of 3-D max. She produces superhuman fantasies in style. When asked to comment on her work she stated something very profound for a generation who feels the government and the economy manipulate the ether… “My generation is really into computer reality…a reality that we can control and perfect in the way we choose.” Since 2003 she has produced covers for Vision Magazine, Chinese Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and Esquire. Her work has been featured in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. CHEN MAN is rocking her world and if you view her work, she’ll rock yours too.

Birds on a Wire Music

Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.

Every now and again…someone has an amazing idea. This is one of those “now and again” moments. This is a short musical video of  an amazing idea of using the view of birds on a wire and directly translating their stance into a musical bar. Once I heard this tune I felt the birds wanted to share it with us and just needed an interpreter.
