Riusuke Fukahori Goldfishes...

FIRST WATCH THE VIDEO

Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. Its more like painting then pouring then putting a layer of painting and then again pouring resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. I really enjoy the rich depth of the pieces and the optical illusion aspect, it’s such an odd process that results in something that’s both a painting and sculptural. Wonderful!! This is quite a wonder of its kind to create a 3D illusion.
The other day in class we were discussing the aspect where art is considered as art until its concept based, or only labor intensive pieces like realistic painting could only be called as art pieces, If yes then what were the fluxes or minimalistic or anti-art or other movements producing art or they were NOT doing art?? To answer the question, i think for me art is a moment where the viewer is at a  point whether its reality or art? I mean the point where viewer interacts with the piece and and those moments are art themselves if could relate to it....That is the artist's moment!! I  think everyone has its own perspective to this topic...But i think whether the art piece is conceptual or non conceptual once it is precieved as art, it should be interactive in order to be a good art piece. So either u achieve it by concept or by labor, it doesn't matter unless it makes the viewer to interact to it.
Where thousands of people precieve art as a to a medium of dialogue, Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori works for pleasure and science of medium...There is no concept associated to these pieces but they are crafted with such a science and excellence that it keep u engaging...which for me fulfills the purpose of art.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude

 

 

So these are the works of the very well known christo and jeanne-claude,
They were both born in 1935, Christo and Jeanne-Claude were born on the same date, Christo in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, and Jeanne-Claude in Morocco. They first met in Paris in October 1958. They had been warapping objects since 1968 and on and on uptil now. Thier work include wrappping up canvases, still life, chairs, sofas, sculptures,interiors, buildings, pathways and even mountains. i had never seen any artist works in such immense amount. I opened thier website and want just waiting for the moment that i could have finished lokking up to his works. All of his projects were up thier lined up as if they were thier to blow me off. i had been researching artist but christo simply kicked all others. This is what i call practicing art....

Although their work is visually impressive and often controversial as a result of its scale, the artists have repeatedly denied that their projects contain any deeper meaning than their immediate aesthetic impact. The purpose of their art, they contend, is simply to create works of art or joy and beauty and to create new ways of seeing familiar landscapes. 

Art critic David Bourdon has described Christo's wrappings as a "revelation through concealment." To his critics Christo replies, "I am an artist, and I have to have courage ... Do you know that I don't have any artworks that exist? They all go away when they're finished. Only the preparatory drawings, and collages are left, giving my works an almost legendary character. I think it takes much greater courage to create things to be gone than to create things that will remain"

Although Jeanne died in 2009, christo still works, his latest under progress work is Mastaba in Abu Dhabi...

William Forsythe, Scattered Crowd

Since 2002 artist, dancer and choreographer William Forsythe has traveled with his audio/visual installation Scattered Crowd, created with thousands of suspended balloons in galleries, museums, banks and other architecturally significant spaces. Though the photos clearly do the work visual justice I think it’s hard to truly appreciate the full experience without walking through the space itself and hearing the accompanying music by Ekkehard Ehlers,  Forsythe refers to the work as being “an air-borne landscape of relationship, of distance, of humans and emptiness, of coalescence and decision”.

Artist's Discribtion

Thousand of white balloons, suspended in a billowing wash of sound; an air-borne landscape of relationship, of distance, of humans and emptiness, of coalescence and decision. In the gorgeous, breathless space that is choreographer William Forsythes «Scattered Crowd», the viewer inhabits and alters, through their stillness or speed, their sense of proportion and time, the configurations that make up this constantly shifting, ecstatic world
