Artist Spotlight: Tomás Saraceno

Let's get into conceptual artist, Tomas Saraceno. This man's art took my breath away!!!

What he does with foil is so beautifule. He scales up these large sheets of multicolored foil, thus creating these vibrant wonderlands that visitors can literally walk through. They, themselves, become apart of the work.

Some of his other creations, such as 'Arachnid Orchestra' are a bit of a head scratcher, but the point of ALL art is to FEEEEEEEL something. Let me tell you his stuff just hits me in the chest and sends me spiraling into the cosmos of thought, visual conceptions of energy, rhythm and the possibilities of what could be. Please do yourself a service, and visit his facebook page. You'll be studying him for hours.

Us Introverts :)

I love these memes. I have no idea who the orginal artist is of the last, Ms. Lauryen Hill, so if you do please comment and let me know so i can give proper credit.
These all remind me to get out of my own head sometimes. See, I'm incredibly introverted. So much so, that i have to put alarm/reminders in my phone to call friends and family members to say hi or just check in and make sure they know i care and that i love them. I think it' the reason i'm so drawn in by art. It allows, encourages even, withdrawl. You can't get the message of a work if you don't quiet yourself and FEEL it, chew on it, sleep on it, breath it--and all that requires stillness.

However, we must remember to live life. If you are an introvert, like your's truly, remember to take a break from it every now and again. Put away the netflix, call up your loundest anxiety inducing EXtrovert in your phone book and go outside.
