I’ve been feeling less than awesome lately, even though I’ve been extremely productive…don’t know I’ve just been in a bummer mood. I figured some art always cheers me up so here’s the post o the day!

Since Art Wednesdays have long been abandoned around here I’m making Random Art Saturday the new thing. Until I forget. But for now it’s Random Art Saturday!
Drawings and paintings by Melissa Murray. Brooklyn. Via Boooooom.com
These are phenomenal .
“Layer” is an art series (inkjet prints on film) by Nobuhiro Nakanishi
As per usual here are some random artists that I found that I enjoy, both thought provoking in their own way. What do you all think?
The first bunch, by Alexey Morosov:
and Alejandro Diaz
In the words of Roberta Smith for the NYTimes “One of the best Whitney Biennials in recent memory may or may not contain a lot more outstanding art than its predecessors, but that’s not the point. ” Which is something that, based on the images I’ve seen, I mostly agree with. To be fair, I’ve not seen many Whitney Biennials, none in person, in fact, but that doesn’t change my appreciation for the affect of the “ intimate studio experience rather than work made by assistants or jobbed out to China.”(jerry saltz nymag) With the constant struggle within the art world between art and commerce it’s nice to just see art. I’m not particularly aesthetically drawn to many of these pieces (really not a fan of dance and performance art) but I am drawn to the idea of leaving big business out of the collection. Definitely want to check this out

I find it hard not to find some enjoyment in these peices, being so chock full of sunshine and flowers. Normally I’m averse to that type of blatant cheer but here, it just works. “Flowers and skies were taken out of over 60 store bought puzzles and combined to form a series of spectaular landscapes. Although puzzle pieces are unique and can only fit into one place within a puzzle they are interchangeable within a brand.” The series is called Love = Love, by Kent Rogowski.
