Ahh, returned ten years later, without the capital 'P'?

A shot I took seven years ago of Nathan Vincent's Let's Play War at the Bellevue Arts Museum.  I didn't have a wide angle lens sufficient to encompass the whole work, so I took a narrower shot.  Dim lighting also didn't help.

Very nice, reminds me of Bobby Puleo's (famous skateboarder) art project: https://www.instagram.com/gutter_gallery/

Suggestive works, didn't know this artist

A single, similar one went for $ 20,000 recently.

Thanks, very nice!

Oh, remarkable for that kind

Have you thought of actually building one of those?

Artist: Dan Drehobl
(He used to be a pro skateboarder, and interestingly enough he is part of a group of retired skateboarders who became professional carvers - in more ways than one - ;-P.)

Piece: El Guapo Deluxe End Grain Cutting Board 

Beautiful workmanship!  Do you own any of his work?

PD

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Not yet, but I will by the end of this ear. I sort of need a place to put it, which means I need to be a bit more of an adult than I actually am, but I am heading in that direction. There are a few skateboarders I want to purchase from - all word workers, as well - so many wonderful pieces. :-)

Kitchen or possibly dining room would be the normal/usual spots.    It is meant to be used though--do you cook?

"Empty Shoe Box", (1993).

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Yes, I would be using it - while it is beautiful, it is also practical. I am learning how to cook - part of becoming an "adult". ;-P

So, how are your cooking skills coming along? 

PD

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Got about a month before it shows up, so, hopefully, existent.

So, you ordered one of his boards?  Neat!  Which did you go for?

PD

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Went for the El Dorado End Grain Artisanal Cutting & Serving Board. If I had more room, I might have gone for one of larger boards, but my kitchen is pretty tiny.

Don't see that one on his website. 

I particularly like his Black Dahlia series, but they are all sold out.

In any event, hope that you get many years of enjoyment out of it!

PD

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Yeah, you have to pull up the All page, but here's the direct link: https://drehoblwoodworking.bigcartel.com/product/el-diablo-end-grain-artisanal-cutting-serving-board

Agreed on the Black Dahlia as well (gorgeous). I am hopeful those will be back by the time I have a "real" kitchen. Also, then I could start looking at the work of Rob Pluhowski (another former skateboarder turned woodworker), but Rob is next level as he's been doing this for pretty long time (http://www.pluhowski.com/).

Thanks, I was looking just under the cutting boards section.

I suspect that RP's work will be a whole lot more expensive!

I was recently in Duisburg/Germany. The building of the MKM -Küppersmühle is very impressively restaured and expanded by Herzog & Meuron.
The collection is -at least-  interesting and offers a lot of 20th century "Lyrical Abstraction/ Abstract Expressionism;".
After a while my head was dizzy with a myriad of dots, lines, splashes, and swirls, now wildly exploding, then minutely traced as points and hyper fine lines . Some artist add sand, wax, plastic, metal scraps, glued to very large canvases....Usually these are works with "no title". After an hour I was exhausted.

Küppersmühle



Anselm Kiefer, Markus Lüpertz, A.R. Penck and Gerhard Richter have -imho - the "guts", the power, to impress with sheer size and visual extravagance in the huge rooms of this very unusual museum.
I really liked Kiefers "Sternenlager" (6 X 8 m)


and



Sternenfall (ca 4 X 5 m)
