ArtProcess artists network

What do you do after setting up your own website and posting those images for the world to discover your talent? While waiting for that enlightened day, figure out the true art of the web - the art of communication. Then strike up a dialogue with the only person who'll ever really understand what you do - another artist.

Nude by NELSON JR

Thanks JP. I believe the answer is Yes, the role of the artist is always political. The ideal of a woman, promoted by fashion (and others, even men's ones, like Playboy, etc) magazines means nothing to me on desire wise. I can flip tens of magazines pages and see nothing on those women. All that studio lighten pictures breaks any attempt of creating life. This is the representation of all women who I've been intimate with, is how I remember of a moment of intimacy with women. This is what arouses me, so, the ideal of a woman to me. .. [Goto..]

Bellissima. How the fashion world can set an ideal of a woman that has the angular shape of a man I could never fathom. I'm in complete agreement with your celebration of the richness and generosity of feminine beauty with this painting. The fact that she steps out from a background of mundane newsprint (representing a power that conditions how we should think) and renders her nudity instead with a self-confidence that challenges the observer's acceptance of the norm. Instead her sensual warmth and normality defies our readiness to accept as true what we read as an ideal in the newspapers or the images we see on television.
Maybe in the end the role of the artist is always political?.. [Goto..]

So here it finally is, a stunning portrait at least for everyone who knows the sitter. You really got her. Congratulations. And what I find amazing beyond comprehension is that you managed to show all this in a format that somehow doesn't even exist . . ... [Goto..]

Self portrait on newspaper NELSON JR	Thank you Kristina! It's nice to hear from other artists about my work. This painting has a lot of energy indeed. I'm very happy with this outcome, and working in a series of portraits with the same approach. [GoTo..]
Self portrait on newspaper NELSON JR	Sorry my short responses. My born language is portuguese, so it's hard for me to put some feelings into words (new discovered ones regarding art)in a foreign language. But I am enjoying very much this dialog. It's good to hear from someone about my work, it's even better if it is someone from a different culture and continent, and with a great work such as yours. Thanks! [GoTo..]
Self portrait on newspaper NELSON JR	I went to art school, but I've been working on graphic design, animation and video business ever since. I'm discovering color in a new way for me. What started as a practice and study, with a simple premise that was using pure color to get volume, has reached a good response with people. I don't know where it could take me, and this is the best part [GoTo..]
Self portrait on newspaper NELSON JR	It started as a cheap way of studying large formats, then I stop doing the backgrounds as realize that the newspaper was looking nice as a background itself. Yes it is acrylic. Thanks for the comments! Im still learning to use AP, and Im loving it! I believe it's here LINK [GoTo..]

nice story, i we like to learn more on this issue please any body [GOTO..]

There are not many places to exhibit, in this local area without having to join a art group. There are two but I decline to join as they do selection on the art work and no guarantee you will get your work in exhibition. It costs a lot to frame your work, and also the amount of hours spent on the work. There was a census for a gallery to be opened in the area, said it was not viable.

There was a group, the main problem is getting people to help with the exhibition. Peopl [GOTO..]

Ha ha! Well done Maestro! Yes you're to be commended as again it's my own laziness that's caused the problem.

To add links to comments, I've been asking you to insert the LINK tags (you didn't notice the forward slash in the second tag) - and of course why on earth should you?

As soon as I figure it out, I'll fix this so inserting links won't be such a PITA.

Many thanks,
jp [GOTO..]

I made my comment, LINK got the successpage, clicked to return and got an error 29 notice (I think) but saw in my inbox that the comment was made. Went to the page and saw all the other comments were changed. I believe that somehow or other I have broken AP once and for all. Maybe that's a good thing and I should be commended, you tell me.

Maria, I like absolutely matt and general I advice it picture varnish matt 003 Talens /1000ml e/. It is universal and fastly dry. Good for mixed technician acrilico and oil too. I think that small test is indispensable.

And ps. to Maria "which says 300 different languages"
I thank for your opinion about my pictures. Your definition “How it is possible to have it all together: strictly figurative work, with strong narrative content, being contemporary, great painting” is very univers [GoTo]
