3948 ARRRRRRRRT shows in your area
This board is a little dead, here's an idea!
Post local or interesting art exhibitions/shows/events whatever here, on the off chance someone nearby is interested.
I'll start with something I plan to see tomorrow;
> "Kokoro: The Art of Horiyoshi III"
> Somerset House, London
> 21 March – 1 July 2012
> Courtyard Rooms, South Wing
> Free Admission
> Kokoro means 'heart' in Japanese; it is the 'feeling', the 'inner meaning' that underpins the Japanese approach not only to art, but to Japanese life as a whole. It is what makes Japan quintessentially Japanese. With this selection of paintings by Irezumi master Horiyoshi III and photographs by Alex 'Kofuu' Reinke and Matti 'Senju' Seldhom, we hope to make you 'feel' Kokoro; leading you on a journey where the typical japanese nature and legends take life in silk paintings and photographs.

>Internationally renowned tattoo artist Horiyoshi III is a great supporter of traditional japanese culture, history and craftsmanship but yet he embraced the modern western world, observed it, understood it and changed his art, evolving but keeping it japanese; this is ultimately the power and essence of Kokoro. It is a spirit that knows no time or physical limits.

Well, wasn't that exciting. Hoped it'd be more like photos in OP, something a little interesting visually, Instead I was treated to two rooms with a couple of silk hangings , which were pretty nice on their own but also quite cliche due to resembling all that manga/jap tattoo/stuff you'd draw on your pencil case vibe. Highlights, an abstract zen piece shoved above a fireplace and a little porcelain figure of a volumptious, heavily tattooed woman, bound up with a big grin on her face.
Also Somerset House has the greatest bogs in all London.

Also went to the Royal Academy to see a Hawksmoor exhibition, which again is tiny, just a little space on a ramp, mostly anecdotes and quotes from famous figures about his architecture, some paintings, photos, maps, plans. Nothing to write home about, so I've written about it here.

It's a sort of cultural taboo. They're frowned upon at best, and generally associated with the Yakuza. It makes the "embrace of the modern western world" a lot more tangible.

Those who do practice the traditional forms of tattooing tend to keep it behind closed doors, and it tends to be aged, highly-regarded "masters" of the hand-poking technique that do it. The style and method are different and distinct, and regarded differently (eg. with a lot more of a spiritual aspect to the process) to the Western style of tattooing. This article covers the fluctuations in cultural opinion of tattooing in Japan pretty well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irezumi

3037 Biblical or Deathly, hellish art works
I'll post a few but what I'm really hoping for is a bit of guidance from you lads.

I've recently become deeply interested in the depiction of Biblical concepts as actual beings. I'm reading John Milton's Paradise Lost at the moment and am nearing the end of it, I read Milton, a poem by William Blake, before it.

I know the art work I've attached isn't really anything to do with those works of literature but ah, I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm not to bright you see (sob story ect)

But yes, what I'm hoping is that one of you could point me in the right direction for more good stuff like the above and attached. The art works I'll be posting are just a few I've found on google image searches so I don't really know about them, I just like them. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks lads

You need to check out Bosch. His stuff is often really surreal but it's very close to that first image you posted.

John Martin you've already got, but just fyi, there's an exhibition at the Tate running until 15th Jan of his stuff. I've not gone but my dad said it was breathtaking, and that you just can't get any real feel for these kinds of works until you see them towering over you.

That's quite a nice way of putting it. I've seen it in props for other films, too. SFX students tend to make far more colourful spaceships, copper tones and suchlike. A trick of the trade for the pros, maybe?

It's really all due to the art direction. A lot of the classic sci-fi was made in a relatively brief period so the aesthetics of grungy, cyberpunk looking technology are carried around.

Modern SFX draw from different inspirations and such, you can see a few trends across major film and game releases recently - just compare Avatar and Halo for example.

On a wee tangent here, the Avatar spacecraft was actually really well designed and a good bit of hardcore sci-fi sensibility. Shame it was wasted on SUCH A BORING FUCKING FILM.

May I also recommend the work of Peter Konig? He was the main artistic driving force behind Splice and Hellgate: London, although he's worked on some other well-known projects too. I'm pleased to see he's now working for Valve.

Point of interest: Most of these sculptures are hand made from found objects & super sculpey then imported to a computer using a 3D scanner before being animated. I especially like the one with a moth for a head.

That's not even close to correct, though. There are entire musical styles dedicated to escaping repetition, and that definition pretty much rules out half of all popular classical music, too.

All you need to know about art is that if it's not some form of skillfully painted or sculpted piece of work with a classical or religious theme, lovely naked ladies (NO PUBES) are a bonus, then it's basically rubbish.
