Review: I have been oil painting for about a year and a half now, and I love it. I had previously tried using acrylic paints, and that just ended up in a total disaster. Acrylics dry too fast, and you can never seem to get the right […]

by Joelle
Review: There are a few things that are absolutely necessary when oil painting. One of the very most important, is turpentine. The only problem with turpentine though, is that it is very toxic and smells terrible. So, what my art teacher taught me was that rather than […]

Item: The Persistence of Memory by Dali
Location:
by MachoSasquatcho
Review: Surrealism is an art form which seems to be quite “love it or hate it”. For me personally, I love this piece, though at first I found it quite visually disagreeable.
Lovers of more conservative art will most likely not enjoy this piece, as it is […]

Item: The Scream by Edvard Munch
Location:
by MachoSasquatcho
Review: One of the better pieces depicting existentialism that I’ve seen, The Scream is a painting that I find terribly disturbing even years after first seeing it.
It’s unfortunate that The Scream has become so often parodied in popular culture that some people perhaps view it as a […]

Review: My first impression of this artwork is an intense, stimulating man with an element of humour captured in his eyes.
In this artwork I can see great texture in the subject’s face, with a dark shadow adding a hint of sinisterness. The right-hand side of the subject’s […]

Location:
by jack
Review: Aris Prabowo’s “Playroom” presents the issue of how children nowadays are constantly buying military toys, and how it turns into a militaristic nightmare of chaos and anarchy. It was drawn in 1997, in response to the beginning of the Indonesian Revolution of 1998, where President Suharto resigned. […]
