Stanzie Tooth (I Really Like These)

[AB Editor]

Afternoon,

A little bit of art to get us through Wednesday:

http://www.stanzietooth.com/

Just spotted these. Never heard of Stanzie Tooth before.

What do you think?

Not my cup of tea Ed - no clear direction to them and I am not enamoured with the colour balancing either....what do you see in them as, of course, each to his own when it comes to art?

[dr b]

interesting; a bit like Monet (but after going completely blind) but with pretentious titles.

[chelle7272]

not my sort of thing sorry ed, and the colours are too strong

[AB Editor]

In short... exactly what you dislike :)

I like gentle abstraction. My tastes in art start at later Turner and move out from there. I've got a soft spot for stuff like this.

[AB Editor]

I didn't read the titles!

[DTCwordfan]

Now later Turner, Impressionism, post Impression, post Hague school, yes.....agree with you on. This I find jars on the visuals.....pretentious titles I can live with....

[DTCwordfan]

and you have just reminded me of a brilliant art joke for the jokes page.....

[erin-x]

I quite like the fourth one on the slideshow but i'm generally not a fan of that kind of art. Especially when it looks like you could have created it yourself.

[Frank97]

Well I like them!

[AB Editor]

erin-x - Off you go then, knock me out a few!

D97x7 - glad someone does :)

[AB Editor]

Would anyone be up for a "who is your favourite unheard of artist?" thread?

[DTCwordfan]

Got a few etchings here, Ed.....somewhere in the back pages of Art is a thread with some of my work.....

I saw these in a gallery on a recent trip:

I liked them a lot.

"night reflections" (about 13 pictures in) is especially nice.

[erin-x]

I would quite happily Ed but i'm not forking out for the canvas lol. I should have taken my place at art college. I could have been the unknown artist! :-)

[venator]

Well, I think they're beautiful! I could live with them, but it might be hard to fit them in with much of our furnishings.

There's a Persian artist whose work is a bit similar.

I like third from left and last one but only because of the colours, I don't really like abstract stuff.

[chelle7272]

This is a local artist who has held a couple of exhibitions where I work. Only wish i could afford to buy any

They don't instantly grab me. I think you would need a very large room to display one of those in your house.
