While browsing the web today for new artists and their work, I was struck by several pieces, and wanted to share them. It's so inspiring to see what other people are doing, and it always seems to leave me feeling very happy. I could do it for hours. In this particular search today, I was interested in artists who deal with "found art, " in any sense of the term.
“Blue River” By John Dahlsen. Medium: Recycled plastic bags behind perspex
Title: Driftwood Assemblage # 1(Diptych), also by John Dahlsen. Medium: Found objects (driftwood) on plywood
"Coffee" by Rosa Murillo. This piece was done by the artist, then left taped to a park bench for someone to find. A note was attatched saying that it needed to be set free, and was meant to be kept. http://rosamurillo.squarespace.com/rosa-murillo-journal/2006/10/17/found-art-tuesdays-oct-17-06-coffee.html
"In the Garden" by Barbara Irwin. Barbara creates assemblages out of found items. They have a very sculptural feel to them. This one pictured above was my favorite. http://foundobjectart.com/
Glacial erratics: landscape found art (and origins of cubism), by Edward Tufte. This artist finds art in Rocks. I love the concept. He wrote: "Helping to build a road today, I threw a rock (about 0.4 cubic feet in volume) into the road bed. The end of the rock shattered and revealed the ultimate source of Cubism. "Fractured planes" is a good short description of Cubism.
Today's fractured rock is on the left; Braque's Rio Tinto Factories at L'Estaque, 1910, at right." http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001Jt
