Taboo art work

[Shell]

Some Austrian nobody.

Very much a somebody unfortunately.

Reminds me of a PL i was in at school- and the presenter asked the question "name someone who has changed the world".
My mind immediately went to Osama Bin Laden
They then went onto say someone "good", rather than evil.

For the most part vagina related work happens all the time (admittedly not of this scale), it's whether it gets any traction in popular media. Certainly depictions of menstruation seems to rile people up. There's an interesting film called 'Wetlands', but it may be a bridge too far for studio 10 if they suddenly decide they're open-minded.

Judy Chicago's 'Dinner party' is one of the more eminent vulva-related works, made in the 70's.

I guess i just dont get the fascination with this kind of art, period.




Thank you... thank you very much

Some of Damien Hirst's artwork pushed boundaries in the 90s. I saw his Cow "exhibit" in 95

Any budding artists around these parts?


Im hopeless. Am not artistic in the slightest.

I wish i could produce an art work like the one of Port Arthur on the other page.

My wife is an artist. Oil and acrylic painter with a focus mostly on abstract. I'm jealous of her creative side. It's fun to watch the layers build. Often it's a subconscious thing and it turns into something she didn't expect. You asked what the point of some of it was. From my perspective, it's usually not about creating something for a market or for discussion, but it's about expression. For some reason I know a few people with a creative side and they all get pent up, anxious or moody if they don't have that outlet.

Yeah my dad can draw pretty well- guess it didnt get passed onto me.

Can you photograph and post some of her work??

Am having a flashback to a movie rn... Escape from Alcatraz??? Where the old man gets all his paintings, etc confiscated. Just breaks him.

Sure. I'll grab some from her website.

This one included some work with gold leaf.


This was on a large 5ft canvas.


She obviously went through a flower stage. Haha



This one was difficult for her because it was a request rather than from her mind. I asked for a stormy/volcanic scene for my office. The orange/gold doesn't show up as well in the photo.



Another 5/6ft canvas.



She did this series in one night over the weekend.

 

[Shell]

Wow.

Love no3. Not a huge fan of no.5.

Like 6. And the other 2 flower pics.

 

[Shell]

Love no3. I shall PM you my address, please ship it over here.

#5 actually sold very quickly. That's the thing about art. Its subjective

They're quite beautiful. Can you link me to her site (PM is fine for privacy if you wish). We are looking for originals to fill the walls of our house and I like your office one.

We were at the framers today choosing frames for a print and a 2x1.5 metre oil canvas.

Thanks. I'll pass on the compliment. She'll be happy to hear it. Sent you a link.

Excellent paintings.

Can you PM me the link too?? Cheers

Amazing work Catfish Alley - while i dont love everything (most of it tho), the colours are just fantastic. Love the reds, purples... blues.

In the gallery section, my faves are the very bottom- last 2 rows.

I’ll tell her! She included some really old stuff in that gallery. Not sure why but it’s fun seeing it evolve.

Actually come to think of it... i used to love making collages when I was a kid. (probs cause i cant draw for shit)- i'd make these poster sized collages. Made a Geelong one, horse one, etc... usually in the middle of the night lol.

That Geelong one was pretty good- i had a main picture as the focus in the middle- usually A4ish size, then cut and pasted whatever around it, then using a black texta, coloured in the tiny gaps. Was fun.

i've exhibited a bit both solo and in group shows, but i'm so low-grade and inactive at the moment that the ATO revoked my ABN number. apart from some planning i haven't done very much in 3 years and have more or less lost what name i might have had (not much really). it's a suspicious looking artist CV gap, like any other regular CV.
i'd like to return from hiatus but have lost confidence, become busy with family life and busier employment in the arts sector, and spending some of my creative energy learning guitar. at the end of the day, you just have to do the work and here i am pissing about on bigfooty. not really in a position to share in case anyone was about to ask, for reasons of anonymity. sorry.
suffice to say, my art sector employment has run the full gamut from installing renaissance artwork, to mopping up kids' piss.

in terms of making art, i think you have to forget what is good art and think about what is fun for you. if you can enjoy something you do, and people are able to pick your art out of a line-up you're halfway there.

 

[dumb]

So what's your opinion on it. If any?

And any other taboo art you can think of- IIRC there was a cross submerged in urine- that was massive at the time.

And some questionable "arty" photos of young children.

i always think back of this one. maybe not so much taboo as a question of what art really is. at the least it's an interesting piece of irony.
manzoni made many cans and they contain his actual poo. in setting the price he valued the poo the same as gold at the time, but it has since become more valuable than gold.

some other poo sold as art, is made by other artworks themselves, 'cloaca' sculptures of which there is one in MONA. you feed it at one end, it eventually poops at the other. the food goes through a series of processes and chemicals mimicking human digestion. the cloaca machines in europe were at one time selling the poo that came out, not sure if it still happens.
i've seen it in action at MONA, and the room smells.

 

[edgie]

Correct.


IF that was all done by him- he was really good.

Not good enough for art school apparently, so he pursued a career in politics instead.

I remember having a discussion with my mate i used to work with- art teacher, he also had a few solo shows that i went along to. And i brought up the notion of when you see a piece of art and say or think "i could have done that"... and he had a very clever rebuttal to that. And i cannot remember it.


Yeah i dunno why i bothered to write this post either..

So i guess we can indirectly blame the death of millions of ppl and WWII on some Austrian University professor or board...

Imagine having that on your conscious

"But you didn't"
