A person sits at a small table on the edge of a rocky cliff. The front of the cliff face is illuminated reddish, and the sky is pink on the horizon. Across from the person, on the other end of the table, is a puppet: a white ghost, manipulated by some very large, offscreen entity. The person and the ghost are playing chess. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

This year, I started a daily doodling practice, one page a day, spending a quick 10 to 15 minutes each day. The idea was that by the end of the year, I would have a visual record of being present. It is a grounding ritual, proof of showing up every day, and a practice where my hands move and my mind settles. I will continue sharing some pictures in the thread below. 🧵

Swedish painter and photographer Oscar Gustave Rejlander died #OTD in 1875.

His most famous work, "The Two Ways of Life" (1857), was a large-scale composite image made from over 30 negatives, depicting a moral allegory between vice and virtue. He worked closely with other pioneers like Henry Peach Robinson and was admired by Charles Darwin, who commissioned him to create photographs for The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Gustave_Rejlander

#art #photography

The Two Ways of Life, a moralistic photo montage of Rejlanders own work, 1857.

In 1857 he made his best-known allegorical work, The Two Ways of Life. This was a seamlessly montaged combination print made of thirty-two images in about six weeks.

First exhibited at the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition of 1857, the work shows two youths being offered guidance by a patriarch.

Each youth looks toward a section of a stage-like tableaux vivant - one youth is shown the virtuous pleasures and the other the sinful pleasures.

If you have any experience with fences, you know that they need constant upkeep: they sag, drag, lean, break, collapse.

And if you have any experience with rivers, you know that they last a lot longer than fences.

Digging into the "atypography" art movement, really cool so far. Example of "Epetri" atypographic font - it reads "dubtechno."

More stuff + their manual at https://www.atypography.com/

#art #typography

An arrangement of atypographic characters consisting of minimalist black rectangles and blocks that extend down vertically in a tapestry or totemic fashion on a white background.

For instance, the top character, "d," is 5 black vertical monoliths, with the very last rectangle slightly taller than the rest.

Read top to bottom, the script spells "dubtechno."

Graphite on dot paper. It was, you guessed it, another boring work meeting. An artist friend of mine had mentioned at one point that drawing parallel lines can be very meditative, so I gave it a try. I have mixed feelings about the eye.

@Curator
@visualarts #pencilDrawing #sketch #sketchbook #artist #commissionsOpen

Closeup detail of the art in question. Many straight lines drawn in fine, soft pencil. Alleyways of white dot paper between clusters of parallel lines. The corner of a large eye with more of a swirling shape on the bottom right.

A dark night: a grayish sky, with a bright green full moon. In the foreground is a tall, blocky tower that looks like a tenement building with no windows and only one arched door. On the side facing the viewer is a green, glowing eye. At the pinnacle of the pointed roof is a small rod with a sphere and three crossbars. Behind the tower is a row of trees, illuminated by the moon. This is a primarily indigo and green painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

The typography is striking, with "RHAPSODY IN BLUE" displayed in large, decorative block letters that have a mosaic-like pattern.

Below the title, the text reads "For Jazz Band and Piano," emphasizing the fusion of classical and jazz elements in the composition.
