cool blog, glad i found you, i have added you to my blog roll..art on!..jeff martin
i love mary and love her work and am more than happy for her success, but enough already!!!!!the media blitz is just over the top i am getting sick of it as i am of the election.
Are these paintings deceptively simple? No. They are simple.
Artist who paint like this have given themselves permission to be simple - which is in and of itself a radical concept, though I find myself getting bored working in that mode.
But why not chillax - it will come out in the work, and chill sells more than angst.
I thought Heilmann was the matriarch of chillaxn.
but i have to admit it is not free of angst. maybe thats why i like it.
true
I think they are carefully and dutifully "modern"-in a fairly relaxed,yes,way.They seem a bit good student-y-not especially driven.
