"Nervioso y desconcertado, con cien ojos puestos en el austro, viendo sólo algunos islotes puntiagudos y hielos flotando por el meridión del mundo, con enorme sentimiento de culpabilidad en su ardiente corazón, el sol se preguntaba dónde se habían metido las grandes tierras y sus habitantes."⠀ ⠀ "Nervous and bewildered, with a hundred eyes fixed on the south, seeing only some pointed islets and ice floating in the southern part of the world, with a huge feeling of guilt in his burning heart, the sun wondered where the great lands and their inhabitants had gone."⠀ ⠀ María Antonieta Barrientos Bahamóndez⠀ Bajo la cota / Under the bound⠀ & Rainer Fetting @rainerfetting (artist)⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #landscapepaint #landscapepainting #landscapepainter #landscapepaintings #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #contemporarypainter #contemporarypaintings #contemporary_art #contemporarypainters #contemporaryfigurativeart #modernart #modernpainting #artgallery #contemporaryartgallery #figurativeart #figurativepainting #figurativelandscape #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #rainerfetting https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIAFG3nGzq/?igshid=a5a23n1lbvtg

LOADED LANDSCAPES: Human and Mother Nature

The delicate balances between human nature and Mother Nature have always been sources of inspiration found within the complex interrelations between art and nature. Synthesizing direct observation of the human form and landscape, figures within compositions interact, coexist, and fuse with their backgrounds. Highlighting the notion that landscapes are never purely nature, the following artists explore the interconnectivity of nature, humanity, and culture.

America Martin, Woman in the Sage Leaves, Acrylic, Collage, Resin on Panel, 32 x 62 in.

The space of a landscape exists, like almost every space, together with a variety of objects. What is fundamental for the experience of a landscape, however, is not the encounter of individual or multiple objects, but instead the experience of being under and amid all of these objects. Inspired by human dynamics, animal forms, and natural scenery, America Martin’s work reflects the appreciation of nature’s fleeting design. Concentrating on the human form, Martin makes a woman the main character of Woman in the Sage Leaves. Interested in the environment in which the figure is placed, Martin contorts the female figure with strong lines and bold shapes that push the boundaries of her canvas. As a result, the woman exists both amid, and in harmony, with the rest of the composition.

Brooke Shaden, Reflection #2: Sown, Photo on Velvet Fine Art Paper, Ed. ?, 44 x 44 in.

The space enveloping an artwork’s figure reshapes their environment and allows the viewer to perceive vulnerable beings amid a spatial occurrence. Creating a living space, photographer Brooke Shaden’s exploration of the literal and figurative space between illusion, perception, and identity questions how we, as viewers, give meaning to our experiences. Photographing an isolated figure within a vast terrain, her portraits offer a raw, voyeuristic glimpse of man’s relationship with nature and self.  “Here the mirror pieces reflect the sky,” says Shaden. “Is it possible to see ourselves reflected in the world around us?” Blending in with the similar sized and colored glass shards, the figure and her surroundings collaboratively communicate themes of identity, discovery, and strife.

John “CRASH” Matos, Decade Dance Façade, Spray Paint on Canvas, 36 x 36 in.

Internationally recognized for his bold, iconic murals and works on the street, John “CRASH” Matos’ spray paint on canvas paintings feature his classic imagery and slick style, always informed by the artist’s Bronx, New York roots. Through bold color and crisp lines, memory in the form of cultural pop references and well-loved cartoon characters interweaves with personal narrative, becoming a tangible, concrete presence that spans between instant recognition and abstraction. Spontaneously layering his signature eye and bubbles, CRASH’s figurative components and fluid forms consolidate into one unified image.

While each artist addresses the ideas of space and place, each of their practices is laden with autobiographical elements. Directly confronting art’s real ability to document a place and its history, Martin, Shaden, and CRASH demonstrate that an image of a landscape is only that until its significance is materialized through personal experiences.

Last spring, I had to write my exhibit proposal for "Pathways." I was struck last night when I found, among my draft notes, I had written these words -- many months before before I painted this! #janiscommentz #figurativelandscapes #desertpainting #joshuatreenationalpark #wordsandpictures https://www.instagram.com/p/BtPKr34nVbv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dvgbkg7j43yu

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

The process of figuring an oil painting out, of trial and error and of finishing the beast. This is a five by five foot oil painting of a figurative landscape I just finished. it has beautiful texture as I pallet knifed a large portion of the foreground.

Some thesis development sketching. Figure developed from modeling pose. Took the physical aches, pains and moments of tension in the body and combined them with the imagery that came to mind as I sat in the pose undisturbed and free to roam my mind.

"Asimilar horizontes. ¿Qué importa si el mundo es plano o redondo? Imaginarse como disgregado en la atmósfera, que lo abraza todo. Crear visiones de lugares venideros y saber que siempre serán lejanos, inalcanzables como todo ideal."⠀ ⠀ "Assimilate horizons. What matter if the world is flat or round? Imagine yourself as disintegrated in the atmosphere, which embraces everything. Create visions of places to come and know that they will always be distant, unattainable as all ideal."⠀ ⠀ Ricardo Güiraldes⠀ & Noelle Phares @noellephares (artist)⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #landscapepaint #landscapapainting #landscapapainter #landscapapaintings #watercolorpaint #watercolorpainting #acrylicpaint #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaints #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #contemporarypainter #contemporarypaintings #contemporarypaintings #contemporary_art #contemporarypainters #contemporaryfigurativeart #modernart #modernpainting #artgallery #contemporaryartgallery #figurativeart #figurativepainting #figurativelandscape #vagabondwho #marcopolorules https://www.instagram.com/p/CHNYuCOnCkA/?igshid=1r9l2kk2ho4bc

La mirada ocre agonizando cuando cae una tarde desafortunada⠀ y el sonido de las hojas trituradas por botas embarradas⠀ agoniza en algún inhóspito lugar del desierto de árboles⠀ que sirve de refugio a una bestia humana con ojos azules.⠀ Hay ramas manchadas de sangre seca y cortezas de árbol violadas⠀ por orines rancios de decenas de víctimas enfrentadas al miedo…⠀ … a una afilada hoja de cuchillo de carnicero que roza el cuello⠀ y juguetea con el sabor de la muerte próxima⠀ que resbala entre unos dedos enormes, siniestros, torpemente diseñados…Movimiento violento para que cuchillo arrancavidas reviente en una explosión triunfal contra la frágil muralla de un corazón pletórico de sangre, que estalla hacia dentro como explosión nuclear creando un crepúsculo artificial que sólo disfruta⠀ el atormentado cerebro de una mente enferma,⠀ que obliga a su cuerpo a pasear penosamente por un bosque extraño,⠀ muerto…por un bosque próximo a su casa,⠀ a la de sus padres, a la de su niñez…,⠀ ellos han muerto; padre tardó algo más: era una mala bestia,⠀ pero el alambre de espino trenzado alrededor de la garganta⠀ obra milagros en el pescuezo más resistente…⠀ (crack, crack, crak) y, de nuevo, el sonido de las ramas y las hojas al ser pisadas… …y el sonido de las risas inocentes acercándose⠀ a través de la espesura maliciosa del bosque asesino.⠀ ⠀ José Manuel Vara⠀ La espesura maliciosa del bosque asesino⠀ & Kim Dorland @kimdorland (artist)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #oilpaint #oilpainting #oilpainter #oilpaintings #oilpaints #oilonlinen #contemporaryart #oilpaintingart #oilfeature #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #contemporarypainter #contemporarypaintings #contemporary_art #contemporarypainters #contemporaryfigurativeart #contemporaryoilpainting #modernart #modernpainting #artgallery #contemporaryartgallery #figurativeart #figurativepainting #figurativelandscape #landscapepaint #landscapeinting #landscapepainter #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #kimdorland https://www.instagram.com/p/CISoLFnH2T8/?igshid=gmgzpusk1ulm
