Sex and violence, loud and ironic

By Jim Duncan, ART PIMP

Artist of the Year

Larassa Kabel transcended Des Moines and her own work this year. She is best known for uber-realistic drawings and paintings — particularly of horses hit by 18-wheelers — and for being chosen to do a Christmas card for the Obama White House. In the last year, she exhibited a solo show at Stag Park in Chicago, won an Iowa Arts Council Fellowship, a David Hurd Innovator of the Arts Award and a Greater Des Moines Public Art Foundation commission for provocative public transit art. Her art has been included in the Italian Domus Magazine’s Mille issue, on the cover of the “Dear Animal” poetry book, as well in Juxtapoz magazine. She was also interviewed in the “Juxtapoz –Wild” book. Read More.

Week of March 9

In a project for Wesley Acres, artist Amy Putney-Koenig makes collages for residents using their personal artifacts. (DSM Magazine)

P E R S O N A L  A R T I F A C T S

excerpt via DSM MAGAZINE: Each month, the art gallery at Wesley Acres retirement community features work from a different artist. When Amy Putney-Koenig was invited to display hers, she set out to make the work meaningful for the center’s residents by collaborating with them on a series of collages.

“I invited residents to submit items from their personal artifacts that I could use to create collages, and then I would give them the pieces after the show,” she says. “They didn’t know me, and I didn’t know if they would appreciate my work, so it was amazing that within a couple days I had boxes of items from four people.” Read in full here.

Falling Horse

Clay Sculpture inspired by drawings by Larassa Kabel

Classwork

For this project I was asked to create a abstract sculpture using one of a few given methods of abstraction by established artists. I decided to try my hand at a falling horse to work with the gravity of the clay and used a method of abstraction similar to that used by Pablo Picasso in some of his sculptures.
