The Art and things we've made thread...

Thanks for showing us the completed work, man! The "bird feeder" (does he have a name?) is great, an intriguing expression in concrete. I really like the reclining nude too. 

I dig the fact that the tray is held by one hand. I see the other as extended in invitation. Gives the piece more depth I believe.

That is functional art that is to be appreciated by the human viewer as well as the birds

Thank you, Recusant. The name of the model I used is Michael, so we could call the feeder by that name as well.

A new painting titled Éclat. This painting started off as an exploration of my interest in Voronoi diagrams:

Love it. Tweeked the size down a bit so I can see the whole image.

Beautiful work, hermes!  Thanks for posting it, and I learned about Voronoi diagrams as well.

Thank you Tank. I posted the original size, because I encourage people to get up close and personal with my paintings to see the colour nuances and textures. One can always spot fellow artists at exhibitions. They are the ones with their noses against the paintings, while the normal people look from a much greater distance.

Thanks Recusant! Voronoi diagrams are interesting and are not just pretty mathematical curiosities. They have practical applications, like deciding where to place supermarkets or waste disposal sites.

One of my recent concrete sculptures is called The Dancer and is inspired by Jean Arp and Constantin Brancusi.

The sculpture is an exploration of merging objects fluidly in my 3D software. Here is a fluid merging of two spheres of different sizes.





I blended five spheres to give a final abstract figure of a dancer.

Rapid set concrete on a stained concrete base, height 460mm.

Does he have a name?
Looks like a Bob to me, or Bobby, maybe.
He seems quite jubilant.
Is he a heavy metal guy?

[hermes2015]

Ha ha, no I haven't thought of a name, but Blobby would work, or even Bibendum.

[Dark Lightning]

Cool! Bibendum would be a good name, especially if you used a can of nails to make some of the support structure. 

[hermes2015]

Yes, being concrete, he is immune to punctures.
