I have a bit mixed feelings regarding modern art... I mean, I saw some great artworks, but like in all other environments, we can see a lot of slop... Or, I'm just too stupid to understand the message of some of them... 馃槂
Of course, the pieces you shared are not part of the slop as they wouldn't finish in such a prestigious place as the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao!
My favorites from what you shared? Hmmm... I usually appreciate most those who make a connection with me or with my previous experience... So, I would go with your favorite and the headless sculpture as it reminds me of another sculpture I photographed last year in Prague, Czechia...
You got me confused with this post multiple times... First of all, the name of the guy was very familiar, so I had to re-check it, if it was "that" Edwyn Collins... One doubt resolved, it is... 馃槀
Then you mentioned punk-indie, and I pushed the PLAY button and got some funk-pop into my ears... Oh, okay, they changed their style... 馃槂
All in all, I suppose I was a bit too young in 1983, and I never heard about this band, but I do like the sound, and I share your taste in picking the last one as my favorite!
It's nothing new to see people pretending and faking something that they aren't... It was happening in the past, it's happening in the present, and will in the future... Not sure if it's more "visible" nowadays than in the past, but it becomes too widespread all around the world with social media... We had so many gurus, influencers, and smartasses that it looks like we are doing better than ever... While the reality is completely the opposite, similar to your example with your classmate... 99% is all fake...
The biggest problem is that those fake people are role models for young generations, which is very bad for them... 馃槦
It鈥檚 great news that you鈥檝e managed to get that campaign back on track, that your cousin has helped you, and that, having submitted all the necessary documentation, you鈥檝e been given the go-ahead for everything to proceed as planned. Over in Venezuela there are so many obstacles, and without the help of a family member, this sort of thing, and others too, is very difficult.
But you鈥檙e also documenting here how the process works and how someone else can achieve the same thing, and that鈥檚 brilliant.
This music and this artist are deeply rooted in the heritage of all Venezuelans. When I listen to it, both the voice and the instruments remind me of Argentine folklore, perhaps because of the Latin connection. What you say about memories is true; that鈥檚 what defines a country鈥檚 origins, its land, its culture and its traditions. It鈥檚 great that schools teach about indigenous music, and the best thing is his YouTube channel for keeping that tradition alive so that younger people can discover him and, through him, the roots and customs of your country. This singer conveys that love for the land in his songs, and that鈥檚 worth a great deal.
Your works are absolutely marvellous, to the point that sometimes they don鈥檛 even look like watercolours. Painting a scene using this technique and making it look realistic is, it鈥檚 true, no easy feat, but I can see that achievement in each and every one of your paintings. I鈥檝e had very little experience with watercolour painting, I mainly paint in oils, but I find it truly astonishing. As you mention, it鈥檚 something that requires a great deal of patience, almost a meditative state.
