Laura Ball - Pretty awesome watercolour skills

[sashaz]

This is a great thread, i wanted to start a new thread on fine artists to look at. We all know about faile, banksy, eine etc but I am not so in the loop with contemporary art. I have looked at saatchi online but only the ones that are exhibited looked anygood to me. So any further tips on where to look or who to look out for?

[Coach]

Would still be great for this to be a sticky thread Mods?

It is so easy to loose an age in her website, her paintings are so beautiful.

Be careful posting images like that, in whatever form it is intened.. It is seen as pornography and against the terms for this forums hosts. I remember a same issue on another forum which got them into deep water.

Really!?
Can that painting be considered porn?
Where is the line drawn? Reubens? Picasso?
Boobs are ok if they dont look like real boobs?
Not questioning what you say jboy, only questioning the sense of such a reaction, if you are right.
Mods - feels free to delete if the image is unacceptable.

Jboy - read my post - not questioning your comment - or your reaction - just questioning why "they" would have such a reaction - ie the people not happy with the image (not you).
Take on board what you say. Will play safe, and take down the image.
Shame though - it is such a beautiful painting.
Sad world we live in.
Thanks for the advice.

True dat. But you have to think of it from the the other angle. How far do you push it with the nudes. Men nude, women nude, families nude... It might be art.. But kids can see this forum as its not age restricted.

Thanks for sharing coach! really like her style!

I share Linnea Strid....from Sweden

[tobaum]

Billy Norrby is an artist I just discovered with this show and I thought he was really good so I share (sorry if everybody knows him but me)

I like the mix of an old composition including modern elements.

Don't know if anyone has seen these before but IMO it is absolutely amazing. Underwater installations by Jason deCaires Taylor designed to become living reefs, it combines two of my loves sustainable reef keeping by propagation of stony corals along with art. Have a look at the pictures below and on www.underwatersculpture.com for more incredible pictures, videos and information.

[doyle]

thanks Gibbin82 for posting. Jason deCaires Taylor's work is truly stunning......WOW..truly magnificent.

[doyle]

'Vicissitudes' is the title of the last pic before the youtube clip, of the cirlcle of figures holding hands in Molinaire Bay in Grenada.....my favourite.

quoted from the websitehttp://www.underwatersculpture.com/pages/artist/about-3.htm

"they are life-sized casts taken from a group of children of diverse ethnic background.circular in structure and located 5 meters below the surface, the work both withstands strong currents and replicates one of the primary geometric shapes, evoking ideas of unity and continuum. Talylor notes that 40% of coral reefs worldwide has been destroyed.His work reminds us that the marine environment is in a constant state of flux and that this in turn reflects poignantly the vicissitudes, changing landscapes of our own lives."

thanks again gibbin82 for highlighting this artist

That is some scary paintings. They look like adverts for the excorcism of Emily rose style films. Having said that they are powerful and have a good carrvagio light to them.

Very impressive work of Imo, gibbin, thanks for share…
