Wasn't aware of that. Do you know specifically waht piece?<BR/><BR/>He is a trend setter that's for sure. He's a damn good movie director too. Would love to have dinner with him one day. Think I'd pee my pants by being so intimidated by being so close to him.<BR/><BR/>That would be like having dinner with Picasso or something.<BR/><BR/>Anyways. Yes to Julian Schnabel. I hope more folks look at his work.<BR/><BR/><BR/>peace...Byronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927666976994826064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620650603999720282.post-24478596989041755342007-05-06T17:43:00.000-05:002007-05-06T17:43:00.000-05:00the first person I can think of to use an antler i...the first person I can think of to use an antler in a painting is Julian Schnabel.<BR/>and Julian Schnabel's market is on the surge. after he made basquiat, and before night falls, he put some time in making artwork. he has tremendous influence in new york city, both now in design and fashion and also film and music.<BR/><BR/>you may not like his work. he's having two shows this month and his next movie is coming out next year.<BR/><BR/>puff daddy, russel simons, poets, the guys at chelsea hotel all are into schnabel and schnabel's son Vito not but a mere 21 is solely representing artists. They say he'll be the next leo castelli.<BR/><BR/>Ron Gorchov is solely represented by him. Julian Schnabel has made himself a powerhouse. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to meet him. I respect him for much of what he's done. Especially some of his early sculpture. Also from a small southern city.

Trends tend to go that way and push from the obscure to the mainstream. <BR/><BR/>And the cartoony monsters are everywhere. I first saw them in the indie craft world, like the ones in the MOCA store. <BR/><BR/>Does anyone on the board reference either in their work?AOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850032842322147118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620650603999720282.post-78868499125636001792007-05-04T08:32:00.000-05:002007-05-04T08:32:00.000-05:00This brings up another question?What's up with all...This brings up another question?<BR/><BR/>What's up with all the monsters?<BR/><BR/>And what's up with all the cartoony artwork?<BR/><BR/>Ten years ago Juxtapoz was frowned upon in the art world.

Specifically antlers. <BR/><BR/>I sort of do see it as folks being tired of seeing war and atrocities. That reverting back to animal symbols they are focusing back on primal urges. Needs.

Why it’s the antler, naturally.<BR/><BR/>As metaphor for a bucolic ideal, antlers are fine. But their proliferation in fashion (in jewelry and graphics on T-shirts and hoodies) and home design (as candlestick holders and chandeliers) suggests a deeper societal meaning. To be sure, in various cultures, antlers symbolize masculine aggression, regeneration, sacrifice, financial stability and, in some cases, Satanism (see Joan Fontaine in “The Witches”). In popular culture, they are likely to mean something else entirely, but what?<BR/><BR/>Raz Keren, a men’s wear designer who uses a stag’s skull as a logo, gave it a stab. Mr. Keren sees the antler’s appearance in fashion as a reaction to current political events.<BR/><BR/>“People are tired of dealing with war and death,” he said. “This is their protest.”AOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850032842322147118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620650603999720282.post-62317948844303214512007-05-03T22:58:00.000-05:002007-05-03T22:58:00.000-05:00Antlers = Protection?I think deer images perhaps t...Antlers = Protection?<BR/><BR/>I think deer images perhaps tied into wartime and insecurity. Interestingly, Bambi came out in 1942. Deer make me think of gentleness, love, motherhood?
