ARTIST of the DAY: William Hall

“The Fifth Labor” (dry pigment & polished grout) by William Hart

“I ask the question ‘what if?’.  I am not always happy with the result, nor is it  always what I expected.” —William Hart

__

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day asks the universal question, and better yet, is brave enough to admit that he isn’t always happy with the outcome.  Thank you.  The unrelenting pressure to make creativity look easy and always perfect, not only leads to the demise of artist confidence, but renders experimentation and growth high risk.

ARTIST of the DAY: Regardt van der Meulen

“Untitled” (20 mm mild steel round bar) by Regardt van der Meulen

“People habitually live with a misled sense of security, the illusion that our environment or civilisation is dependable and static. Often times the dangers and violence of the current world we live in interrupts and the illusion of safety is exposed.” 
—Regardt van der Meulen

___

A friend recently messaged me to say, “I don’t know how I’m going to make it through today. How do you do it?” I replied, “I just put on foot in front of the other until I get to the end.”  In hindsight, even that simple plan is fraught with assumption.  ANY way you get through is better than NOT getting through.  Don’t worry about the bonus points for style.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Regardt van der Meulen sculpts with full awareness of the ephemeral nature of how we exist. Fragile, but stubborn.

I will eat almost anything once, we’ve established this already.  But, as a kid, I would not get past the lemon-furniture-polish impression I had of lemongrass and ginger.  Luckily I was far more likely to be faced with fried okra than lemongrass as a youngster.  As an adult, I am such a fan.  A day with a bowl (or three) of Tom Kha soup never ends badly.  I’m a little overly enthusiastic about ginger, but perfectly enthusiastic about this Call.  Take a look…

I’m taking less food pics in restaurants these days.  I’ve been shamed into stopping.  How ’bout you?  Now when I am served a beautiful dish, I have to weigh whether it is worth the condescending looks of disdain from servers and other patrons. Sigh.  The only advantage is that taking pictures at home allows me to use a really camera, not my phone, and get the cherries arranged just so.  Plus, now I can re-heat dinner after I get the perfect shot, ha.  This next Call is interested in your perfect shots.  Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Christian Hetzel

(left to right) Ruptured Concrete No 1 & Ruptured Concrete No 2 by Christian Hetzel

“In times of overload of visual impressions, I try to send the viewer on a journey of discovery across the painting surface and sensitize him for the few and less in color, structures, cracks and textures.” — Christian Hetzel

______________

Years of being allowed to handle artwork as a juror, curator and/or gallerist has made me the patron that museums loathe.  I want to feel the texture, smell the oils, see the support structure.  Art should always be personal. Intimate. But, I refrain.  I still long to touch, but I don’t.

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Christian Hetzel chooses texture and palette to convey a complexity of message.  There is a reason all signs flash and a commercials scream.  Competing for our attention is complicated.  But does it have to be?

You’ll long to touch the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Christian Hetzel!
