Siempre me han inspirado las composiciones de este artista utilizando monitores de televisión. Experimentó con el impacto de la televisión y las nuevas tecnologías, la música... en la vida cotidiana de la gente convirtiéndolos en una nueva forma de expresión artística.
En estos casos se sirvió de carcasas antiguas de televisión para construir la pieza básica de la sociedad- la familia o el hombre -uniendo tradición y tecnología, pasado y futuro, sin perder de vista el sentido del humor.
Se parece un poco a este mundo loco que vivimos bloggeando sobre nuestras cosas craftis, no? ;)
Los retratos de artistas y amigos suyos son buenísimos.

Los que estáis en Nueva York podéis pasaros por James Cohan Gallery, NY Gallery. Allí exponen algunas de sus obras hasta el 6 Junio y el resto de los mortales podemos leer más sobre él y su obra en su web.

No he parado de coser en todo el fin de semana, ultimando las nuevas dolis, a ver si hoy descanso un poco... aunque es un vicio, me encantan los días de fiesta, podría estar así eternamente!
feliz lunes!!
i've been always inspired by the work of this artist. He experimented on the impact of tv and technologies on daylife and created a new media culture. He used vintage television cases to build the man or the family, which are the basics of society, putting tradition and technology together or past and future, always mixed with a lot of humour. This reminds me our daylife, blogging about crafts! doesn't it? ;)
i love his artists and friends' portraits.
you can go until the 6th of June to James Cohan Gallery, if you're in NY, and have a look at the exhibition, the rest can enjoy his work and read about his life on his website.
