Self Portrait

artist reveiw

This is a response to the work of Vlatko Ceric. Born in Zagreb, Croatin, he now resides there as well. He has a background in physics and years of experience in computer molding. He was also Professor of computing at the Zagreb University. He started to exhibit his work in 2005 in Europe, America and Australia. He is a member of the Croatian Association of Artist and the ARTROM Gallery Guild in Rome, Italy. He has done a number of solo and group shows all over the world. The work that Vlatko makes is computer generated. The idea that the artist comes up with is then worked thought programs that use mathematics to generate the images. These images are abstract and mostly geometrical. They have a powerful presents and a captivating look to them. I like the patterns and the way they set. The patterns are not at all random. There seems to be a very free yet organized way about them. I guess that has to do with the mathematics the artist uses in the development of his work. The works also have a great visual power and are crafted with great precision.

reinvestagation

I cannot remember how in our gr op made a mention that some of the images that where on exhibit in the HIDE/SEEK show where created by Robert Maypplethorpe. I had missed this the first time walking though the show (forgetting my eye glasses may have had something to do with this). So after eating lunch I just had to go back up and find the images. As it turns out one was a self-portrait and the other was a female nude. I had to go back up and look because I had never seen his work live.I only new of his work,and that was a long time ago. Back when his image Piss Christ really pissed a lot of people off. So I had to look him up when I got home. And I had forgotten how beautiful his work is. Robert is gone but his inspiration lives on...                                          Robert Mapplethorpe

hobbs

Just a little story about this cat by the name of Walter Hobbs. After reading the interview with him done by  Hanis Ulrich Obrist, and seeing the movie The Cool School I have gained a great deal of respect for not only Mr. Hobbs but for the role of the curator in general. It was helpful that I was able to add the insight of the interview with the story of the movie. Setting the stage for what became the Cool School was just as interesting as “The Scene “. As with most great things there is always a lot of hard work done by a lot of people. It takes years of this hard work and persistence to see the fruit. I am certain that Mr. Hobbs spent a lot of long nights bringing his visions to fruition. Another key ingredient that was present to make “the scene “ happen was the collectors having them was just as important as the artist. I guess it all comes back to the five things it takes to make it work. But I think The Cool School was a lot more than just something that worked. It must have been a really exciting time. With all the different players and no lack of strong and interesting personalities. And the one that was able to bring all these special people together at that special time was Walter Hobbs. I hope to learn more about him in the future.
