Polish painter, photographer and sculptor. His field is dystopian surrealism.

Fun fact:

He was murdered in 2005. Stabbed to death over money—about $100 USD. His life seemed to end in a horror show, much like his paintings depicted. I know he never assigned “meaning” to his work. In his case, I don’t think he needs to.

Riley was born at Norwood, London, the daughter of a businessman. Her childhood was spent in Cornwall and Lincolnshire. She studied at Goldsmiths' College from 1949 to 1952, and at the Royal College of Art from 1952 to 1955. She began figure subjects in a semi- impressionist manner, then changed to pointillism around 1958, mainly producing landscapes . In 1960 she evolved a style in which she explored the dynamic potentialities of optical phenomena. These so-called '' pieces, such as Fall, 1963 (Tate Gallery ), produce a disorienting physical effect on the eye.

Riley taught children for two years before joining the Loughborough School of Art, where she initiated a basic design course in 1959. She then taught at Hornsey School of Art, and from 1962 at Croydon School of Art. She worked for the J. Walter Thompson Group advertising agency from 1960, but gave up teaching and advertising agency work in 1963-4.

Group shows include Young Contemporaries, London, 1955; Diversion, South London Art Gallery 1958; an Arts Council Touring Exhibition, 1962; Tooth's Critics Choice Exhibition, selected by Edward Lucie-Smith, 1963; John Moores' Exhibition, Liverpool, 1963; The New Generation, Whitechapel Gallery 1964; Movement, Hanover Gallery, London, 1964; Painting and of a Decade 1954-1964, Tate Gallery, 1964; and Op Art, touring Ireland in 1967. Her numerous European and American exhibitions include The Sixties Collection Revisited, Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, Connecticut, 1978.

Riley was awarded the AICA Critics Prize in 1963 and also that year a John Moores', Liverpool Open Section prize. In 1964 she was awarded a Peter Stuyvesant Foundation Travel bursary to the USA. In 1968 she won an International Painting Prize at the Venice Biennale.

Her first solo exhibition was held at Gallery One in 1962 with a second solo show the following year. Other solo shows were held at Nottingham University, 1963; Richard Feigen Gallery, New York and Feigen Palmer Gallery, Los Angeles, 1965; Museum of Modern Art, New York, with US tour, 1966; Venice Biennale, British Pavilion (with Phillip King), 1968; Hayward Gallery, London, 1971; National Gallery, Prague, 1971; Hayward Gallery and Kunsthalle Nuremberg, 1992; Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, 1995; and Waddington Galleries, London, 1996.

Katsushika Hokusai, known simply as Hokusai, was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. Hokusai is best known for the woodblock print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji which includes the internationally iconic print The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
Hokusai created the monumental Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji both as a response to a domestic travel boom in Japan and as part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji. It was this series, specifically The Great Wave off Kanagawa and Fine Wind, Clear Morning, that secured his fame both in Japan and overseas. While Hokusai's work prior to this series is certainly important, it was not until this series that he gained broad recognition.
Hokusai's work transformed the ukiyo-e artform from a style of portraiture largely focused on courtesans and actors into a much broader style of art that focused on landscapes, plants, and animals. Hokusai worked in various fields besides woodblock prints, such as painting and producing designs for book illustrations, including his own educational Hokusai Manga, which consists of thousands of images of every subject imaginable over fifteen volumes.

"From the age of six, I had a passion for copying the form of things and since the age of fifty I have published many drawings, yet of all I drew by my seventieth year there is nothing worth taking in to account. At seventy-three years I partly understood the structure of animals, birds, insects and fishes, and the life of grasses and plants. And so, at eighty-six I shall progress further; at ninety I shall even further penetrate their secret meaning, and by one hundred I shall perhaps truly have reached the level of the marvellous and divine. When I am one hundred and ten, each dot, each line will possess a life of its own."

Richard Roe, 2017-

Orchid hybrid "Aranda Richard Roe," custom glass potting, memoir, reading. Commissioned by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna in collaboration with NTU CCA Singapore; The Beeler Gallery, Columbus; and Cordova, Barcelona.

Richard Roe is a multi-part work, comprising an orchid hybrid that I've named after the legal person "Richard Roe"; a fictional memoir written by Roe; and a reading of that text. The project builds on a convention particular to Singapore, wherein orchid hybrids are named after politicians and celebrities-in effect, as a means of cultural diplomacy.

In the summer of 2017, I developed a relationship with an orchid grower in Singapore who cultivates many of its famous hybrids. He let me legally name one of them, which I chose to call "Richard Roe": a fictional name used in American and British law when the real name of a person is withheld. As this name has entered the registry of the Royal Horticultural Society, it is now bound to every version of this hybrid in the world.

Beginning in the fall of 2018, this orchid appears on the front desks of art institutions, where it passes as a banal display flower. Accompanying the flower is a fictional memoir of Roe, published by Sternberg Press in 2019. This text describes the legal fictions that creep around the margins of selfhood-and that increasingly dictate the terms of economic and political process.

Taken as a whole, Richard Roe is a natural thing made to perform as a legal fiction, simultaneously circulating through flower markets, art institutions, and the fictive spaces of the law.

Aranda Richard Roe installed at NTU CCA Singapore, October 2018. Custom-designed potting made with Verreum, Czech Republic.

Let us take you on a journey through the curious drawing ideas of a Polish artist, Zdzisław Beksiński, who made a name for himself with his dystopian surrealism paintings, filled with post-apocalyptic imagery and creatures that come straight out of nightmares.

The artist is no longer with us to better explain the vast roster of over 300 of his scary drawings, but he used to say: "I wish to paint in such a manner as if I were photographing dreams. And that is exactly what popped into my head when I first saw his creepy pictures. Even though they utilize recognizable everyday objects, those are paired and arranged in ways only the dream world could sustain in a single image.

These unseen combinations gave birth to mind-bending scenarios, building an anxious feeling while looking at them. The cool drawings are beautifully abstract, yet they have the power to invoke real-world references, making them even creepier. The artist's explanation? Well, it may lie in these cryptic words: "What matters is what appears in your soul, not what your eyes see and what you can name."

Now scroll down for a dose of scary monsters and demon drawings below.

Biography

Alfred Stieglitz. Georgia O'Keeffe at "291", 1917. Platinum print, 9 9/16 x 7 5/8 inches. Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Gift of the Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation. [2003.1.1]

Georgia O'Keeffe is one of the most significant artists of the 20 th century, renowned for her contribution to modern art. Born on November 15, 1887, the second of seven children, Georgia Totto O'Keeffe grew up on a farm near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. By the time she graduated from high school in 1905, O'Keeffe had determined to make her way as an artist. She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York, where she learned the techniques of traditional painting. The direction of her artistic practice shifted dramatically four years later when she studied the revolutionary ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow. Dow offered O'Keeffe an alternative to established ways of thinking about art. She experimented with abstraction for two years while she taught art in West Texas. Through a series of abstract charcoal drawings, she developed a personal language to better express her feelings and ideas.

O'Keeffe mailed some of these highly abstract drawings to a friend in New York City. Her friend showed them to Alfred Stieglitz, the art dealer and renowned photographer, who would eventually become O'Keeffe's husband. He became the first to exhibit her work, in 1916.

By the mid-1920s, O'Keeffe was recognized as one of America's most important and successful artists, known for her paintings of New York skyscrapers-an essentially American symbol of modernity-as well as her equally radical depictions of flowers.

In the summer of 1929, O'Keeffe made the first of many trips to northern New Mexico. The stark landscape and Native American and Hispanic cultures of the region inspired a new direction in O'Keeffe's art. For the next two decades she spent most summers living and working in New Mexico. She made the state her permanent home in 1949, three years after Stieglitz's death.

O'Keeffe's New Mexico paintings coincided with a growing interest in regional scenes by American Modernists seeking a distinctive view of the nation. In the 1950s, O'Keeffe began to travel internationally. She painted and sketched works that evoke the spectacular places she visited, including the mountain peaks of Peru and Japan's Mount Fuji. At the age of seventy-three, she took on a new subject: aerial views of clouds and sky. Suffering from macular degeneration and failing vision, O'Keeffe painted her last unassisted oil painting in 1972. However, O'Keeffe's will to create did not diminish with her eyesight. In 1977, at age ninety, she observed, "I can see what I want to paint. The thing that makes you want to create is still there." Late in life, and almost blind, she enlisted the help of several assistants to enable her to continue creating art. In these works, she drew on favorite motifs from memory and her vivid imagination. Georgia O'Keeffe died in Santa Fe on March 6, 1986, at the age of 98.

As an artist of national standing, Georgia O'Keeffe has been well known in America for many decades. More recently, her art has begun to attract similar attention and accolades abroad. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum's collections include nearly 150 paintings and hundreds of works on paper (pencil and charcoal drawings, as well as pastels and watercolors). The collections also include personal property, from rocks and bones to dresses and paintbrushes, and a significant archive of documents and photographs relating to the artist's life and times.

PROFILE

Guerra de la Paz is the composite name of the creative team efforts of Cuban born artists, Alain Guerra (Born: 1968 Havana, Cuba) and Neraldo de la Paz (Born: 1955 Matanzas, Cuba). Currently based in Miami, Florida, and have been working collaboratively since 1996.

Driven by a combination of tradition and experimentation, Guerra de la Paz applies an essential sense of duality to lush, multi-layered artworks. They find inspiration in using and the familiarity of ready-made - whose archaeological qualities and encapsulated energies evoke the significance of the human footprint and reveal psychosocial and environmental messages - while exploring themes with cultural and historical relevance.
