Ken Knowlton: Non-Lens-Based-Artist

Ken Knowlton’s Mosaics

I’ve always wanted to do a mosaic out of photo or anything really. When I found Ken, I just had to show him. He has A LOT of information on himself. He’s a scientist with a bunch of degrees, and a well know portrait artist who makes portraits out of shells, dice, domino’s, letters, etc.

Ryan McGinley: Lens-Based-Artist #2

Week 6: February 14th-21st

Ryan McGinley was born in 1977 in Ramsey, NJ who now currently lives and works in New York, NY. He earned his BFA in 200 from School of Design in New York, NY. Ryan McGinley makes large-scale color photographs of his friends, a group that forms part of New York’s Lower East Side youth culture. As a New Jersey high schooler, McGinley began visiting Manhattan to spend time with a group of skateboarders. After enrolling at Parsons School of Design, he took up the camera and began photographing willing collaborators. McGinley’s photographs break down barriers between public and private spheres of activity, making the sensational appear banal and drawing attention to the everyday. Drawn from his crowd of skateboard, music, graffiti and gay subcultures, McGinley’s subjects perform for the camera and expose themselves with a frank self-awareness that is distinctly contemporary. The camera is both a part of their lives and an accomplice in the construction of the world they wish to create for themselves. The results form a portrait of a generation that is savvy about visual culture and acutely aware of how identity can be communicated through photography. McGinley’s photographs have been featured in numerous publications, as well as in galleries and museums worldwide. Recent exhibitions include solo shows in Milan, Paris, and Toronto in 2002, as well as MOMA’s PS1 Museum, New York in 2004 and the group exhibitions Bystander at Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York, in 2002, and Raw: New York, New Work in London, 2001. Magazine credits include Dazed and Confused, Vice, Index, i-D, Dutch, and Butt. In 2003, McGinley was also chosen to exhibit his work as part of the First Exposure Series at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York in 2003. McGinley currently lives and works in New York City.

“A quote that I like very much… comes close to explaining my attitude about taking photographs…. “Chinese poetry rarely trespasses beyond the bounds of actuality… the great Chinese poets accept the world exactly as they find it in all its terms and with profound simplicity… they seldom talk about one thing in terms of another; but are able enough and sure enough as artists to make the ultimately exact terms become the beautiful terms.” -Stephen Shore

Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec: Non-Lens-Based-Artist #2

Week 5: February 7th-14th

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (24 November 1864 - 9 September 1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draftsman, and illustrator, whose immersion in the decadent and theatrical life of fin de siecle Paris yielded an oeuvre of provocative images of modern life.

Hi was born in Albi, Tarn in the Midi-Pyrenees region of France, the firstborn child of Comte Alphonse and Comtesse Adele de Toulouse-Lautrec. An aristocratic family (descendants of the Counts of Toulouse) that had recently fallen on hard times, the Toulouse-Lautrecs were feeling the effects of the inbreeding of past generations; the Comte and Comtesse themselves were first cousins, and Henri suffered from a number of congenital health conditions attributed to this tradition of inbreeding (see below). A younger brother was born to the family on 28 August 1867, but died the following year.

Volegov Vladimir: Non-Lens-Based-Artist #1

Week 5: February 7th-14th

Volegov Vladimir was born in Chabarovsk, Russia. He began painting at the age of three and his talent would be noted repeatedly throughout his adolescence. After having attended the art school “Krivoj Rog” and having served in the army, Vladimir Volegov was admitted to the Lvov Polygraphic Institute in the former Soviet Union.

Beginning in 1984 Vladimir Volegov began participating in, and winning, International Competitions for poster art.

Four years later in 1988 he moved to Moscow in and before long, Vladimir Volegov’s career in commercial art was in full swing. Notable Russian publishing houses sought his talents to design posted and CD and cassette covers for musical groups. While working with the publishing houses Vladimir Volegov continued to work on his paintings and participate in exhibitions.

In 1990 Vladimir Volegov began traveling to Europe where he earned money by painting portraits on the streets of Barcelona, Berlin, Vienna and other European cities. It is with this experience he further honed his skills in depicting the human form. Over the past fourteen years, his art has evolved into the striking figurative work he creates today. Vladimir Volegov’s vibrant color palette and bold strokes coalesce to create evocative images that possess a timeless sensibility.

Alan Hudson: Lens-Based-Artist #3

Week 4: February 1st-7th

He first started photography as a hobby. “A great image and its intensity has always grabbed my sense of wonder.” (Hudson) He sates that he has a big kid job that he works 40 hours a week and and that he loves to spend time with his wife and his growing daughter. There’s not too much information on himself. However, he takes a variety of photographs from weddings and engagements, to family and maternity, as well as landscapes and something called iphoneography. I like that his images are very sharp, clean, contrasty.
