NEW ARTIST CHALLENGE! Ross Bleckner - 1949-present

[jackie edwards]

When looking at artists to use for this challenge I was enamored by Mr. Bleckner's work! I don't know a lot about neo-conceptual art but his use of form and bright color fascinate me. This excerpt is from Wickipedia: "For the last 20 years, his art has been largely an investigation of change, loss, and memory, often addressing the subject of AIDS. Mr. Bleckner uses symbolic imagery rather than direct representation, and his work is visually elusive, with forms that constantly change focus.[3] While much of Bleckner's work can be divided into distinct groups or series with motifs repeated from painting to painting, he is also in the habit of redeploying and combining old motifs"

You can see his work here: http://www.rbleckner.com/images.html?menu=PAINTINGS

The challenge will run from today until Friday, August 21.

Please tag your entries ac-bleckner

I am looking forward to seeing everyone's interpretation of Ross Bleckner's work!

Everyone is welcome to join in!

Mmmm I like the look of Mr Bleckner. Good choice. Got me thinking. Not ideal when I am supposed to be doing admin and accounts ;)
