Process: After a week long period of artist's block, I finally found a composition I liked and did a drawing last class period in chalk pastels
One of the artists I found while researching this Awareness section was Mary Heebner, a Californian contemporary artist. She does paintings, drawings, and installations, but I was most taken by her figurative art work. Her portraits and figurative work take inspiration from Classical Greek sculpture and artwork. She is also inspired by the magic of place and of structure in all things. I found this interesting because I try to abstract my work and portray women as objects, like she did. Another artist that I found that I was astonished to not have heard of before was Golucho. He is a Spanish artist who considers himself to be a "new" realist. I appreciate how he uses extremely delicate detail and then lets the edges remain loose and textural. Most of his art is figurative, but a he also dabbled in some beautiful portraiture and still lifes which look like Old Master or Baroque paintings.
