Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali is my favorite surrealist painter. His paintings give us a view inside his mind. His painting style and visions are amazing. He is another artist who makes me want to be unique. Here are a few of my favorite paintings by him:



Salvador Dali


The Temptation of St. Anthony


The Persistence of Memory

Heather Gabel

Heather Gabel- Mourning Shoot


The Curse of the Aching Heart


Miss Manners

I have seen a lot of Heather Gabel's work just because I love the band Alkaline trio so much. She is mostly known for anonymous album work and band t-shirts. Some of her work reminds me of a darker pop art sometimes. I also enjoy the titles that she gives her work. I enjoy her work a lot.

Wolfmother

Right now, I'm listening to Wolfmother's newest cd: Cosmic Egg and trying to decide how to finish my Architectural Graphics model.... they sound like they're in the wrong era, and I think thats what I like about them. but mostly enjoying the music.... Hoping for some inspiration...

Artemisia Gentileschi

Judith Slaying Holofernes


Susanna


Self-Portrait

Gentileschi is a total inspiration to all artists. She was one of the best remembered female artists from back then. I also love when artists aren't afraid to show gore. I was amazed when I first saw "Judith Slaying Holofernes." I was even more amazed when I found out that the artist was a woman. Not in a offensive way. I was just amazed to see a painting like this, from that time period, done by a woman. Mainly, because they did not have movies back then, this means that Gentileschi most likely saw someone's throat slit and incorporated it into the story of Holofernes. I also like the way she made the expression on Judith's face. Its like no emotion while shes just tearing this guy up. And the painting is like 6'x6', so its huge! Her work is just very impressive.

Some of my inspired work from Rogers

For this layout, I had to create a building while utilizing Rogers' principals of design


This was an Analysis of the interior of Lloyd's of London

Richard Rogers

Centre Pompidou- Paris, France 1977

Lloyd's of London- London, U.K. 1986

Rogers' architecture is amazing to me. Every time I see a building of his, it feels like I have viewed some new futuristic structure that has just been invented. The interior is also just as unique as the exterior. Rogers' "British Futuristic Style" inspires me to create something unique in any art I attempt.

Hieronymus Bosch

Hieronymus bosch- Garden of Earthly Delights

I have always been amazed by this painting. I can appreciate the story it tells. Anyone can see that Bosch was trying to show his view of humans based on religion. The first panel shows the appearance of creation. God is giving life to Adam and Eve. The Second panel shows descendants of Adam and Eve. They are shown in a world full of sin. And finally, the third panel shows Hell. I love the third panel because most people don't give detailed opinions of what they think hell would be like. Most people think of Hell being just flames and a guy with horns. I'm not saying that hell is like this. I guess I have always loved the garden of Earthly Delights because I can appreciate Bosch's portrayal of Hell.
