Art Talk! with Gary Panter

Art Talk recently posted a conversation with prolific underground artist, Gary Panter. Over the past three decades, he’s been uber-productive on a myriad of art projects which includes: recording music, doing puppetry, designing for magazines, set designing, creating alternative comics, among other things. It is incredible how much quality artwork this man has produced aside from being one of the main designers for the memorable demented children’s program, Pee-wee’s Playhouse

Edwin Ushiro

The concept for “while tides guide you back home” is inspired by Edwin Ushiro’s feelings of regret and remorse for leaving his native Hawaii. Often wondering how life would have been different had he remained on Maui, Ushiro creates a body of work evoking childhood memories real and imagined.

Wang Dajun

The Scorching Sun
Art Seasons - Singapore
Event: 7/26/08 - 8/10/2008
***
Growing up in the ‘70s, Wang Dajun spent his formative years under the blanket of the “Red Experience”, and that has resulted in charged political overtones in his art. Familiar scenes of the Cultural Revolution form the backdrop of his paintings, with their focal point usually on a single child in the middle of the canvas, seemingly out of place amidst these turbulent times.

Taken from foto_decadent (Click for full post), these photographs are beautiful, inspiring and chic. I wish I can pull off photos like these one day and I also wish photography like this will return. I swear, these photos are like freaking poems.
