Small Pieces White by Helmut Krackie

Copyright by Helmut Krackie

This one is an abstract work by New York artist Helmut Krackie.
His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in NYC.

Title: Small Pieces White
Size: 12" x 12"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Year: 2006

Artist's Statement:
No matter how much we try to plan something, the outcome has a life of it's own. Just as the infleuence of a random, casual encounter can alter our mood, conversation, or even our prespective on life, so it is when masking tape and paint mesh together on canvas in front of me. Although the fluidity of the pieces may appear to be random, they are well thought out layered interacations creating uncanny areas that seem air-brushed or one field. At closer inspection, one is able to see and feel the complex and emotional intensity that each layer reveals.

Take a look at Helmut's non-objective art on his website "Abstract Paintings by Helmut Krackie".

Though the autumn has begun it's a summerly day here.
But before I will enjoy this nice weather in my garden, I would like to feature a new artist.

This mixed media painting is one of the Impressions Series by Manuela Valenti.

Title: Elementos - Agua
Size of the work: 10" wide x 30" high
Medium: Oil, collage and mixed media on canvas

Manuela was born in Caracas, Venezuela and has attended a high school in Venezuala, where the primarily spoken language was English. So she speaks Spanish and English, but because of your Italian parents Manuela speaks also Italian. She lives and works currently in Michigan.

Please have a look at her landscapes and abstracts on her website and the fruit still lifes on Manuela's artblog.

Landscape Gallery

Max Rence — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 20:32:00 +0000

There is a lot of landscape painters who blog, much more than abstract artists. So I started a new blog category called "Landscapes Gallery" where I want to show other artists' landscape paintings.

I have begun with a work by Anne Kullaf.
Please check out this new part of my website.

Nine-Piece Contemporary Artwork

Max Rence — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 18:54:00 +0000

After a long time where I have posted nothing on my art blog, I want to show another of my older abstract works today.
I'm not sure, but I think this nine-piece painting in acrylic was painted in 2003.
Each piece measures 20cm x 20cm.

Saturday or Sunday, I will exhibit on my weblog an abstract oil painting by Manuela Valenti.
