don’t be BLUE

I know the psychology of color dictates that blue is symbolic of sadness, but it always conjures the quiet of standing water for me.  It is always of surprise to me that blue is the most commonly-claimed “favorite color” (my own is red). But I doubt the popularity of this hue is of any question of today’s Artists of the Day Jason Hallman & Stephen Stum of Stallman Studio.  And it IS the perfect work and hue to feature with today’s Blue Call.

“Stallman is pioneering a new technique using paint and canvas as sculpture, naming this body of work Canvas on Edge. They are taking canvas and paint and giving it a creative edge. Now the canvas has the leading role, creating form, highlight and movement. The cut edge of the canvas creates an elevated line drawing and when seen at an angle, fields of color emerge as your perspective to the piece changes.  The hue of the painted canvas reflects on the background creating a spectrum of color. By using reflecting light, pigment and structure they can multiply the hues and tones within each sculpture.” –from stallmanstudio.com
