Oil Paintings FAQs

What is an example of online or digital art?

One simple example is the widely popular website Digitalblasphemy.com. Although not ubiquitous on internet browsers the website does an interesting job in solidifying its rank among the digital art creators because of the themes that are used. As the descriptions go into greater detail, some of the themes that are abundant in this form of art is the idealization of the earth or specific factors of it, landscapes, and space-scapes or science fiction scenes that have stemmed from the artists creativity. Ryan Bliss, the single author of the site, had worked full time on the website since 1999. The emphasis is on the multiplicity of applications for the digital images. An overarching theme has been on the soft blue, green, and violet colors and the application in several different settings. A prominent feature of Mr. Bliss’s work is that there are often times a small human in the picture to give the appearance of being something relatively small in a large existence. The pictures or rendered images re the culmination of several different programs working through a single image to create a visually exciting, inspiring, or awing image.

What is an example of oil paintings?

Mary Capan is an example of a self representing artist who specializes in oil paintings in the abstract. The focus of her pieces is the synthesis of enticing color schemes which are routinely blurred together and the textural application of thick oil paints. In order to contrast the textures many of her pieces feature a mixture of two or more of the common themes. Generally speaking her work is printed on several different campus and that is the medium she sticks to. Although she has dabbled in other mediums, it is the oil paintings that have become the most popular to even be featured on eBay.com.  The abstracts are painted on several different boards and are usually measured in square footage because of the size of the piece. She commonly blends busy and interesting textures with smooth and circular patterns of complementary colors in stripes and other configurations that spiral and smoother each other as they overlap onto the different panes of the same piece. Boxes are another method of her contrasting as she places a heavily textured painting within or outside of a smoother glowing painting style, creating a clash that reverberates in the eyes of the viewers.
               
What is an example of contemporary or modern art?

An example that is being featured in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles is that of Tom Friedman. Mr. Friedman has specialized in creating the obscure and intriguing pieces in three dimensional space, unlike that of the two previous examples his is not flat, or slightly three dimensional but fully spatial. One of the pieces that he used he created an piece that is a pile of a white substance that is appears to be poured from an invisible source. Similar to the grains of sand in an hourglass, the piece is made through glue and small pieces of a white substance. They form a small pyramid structure at the base that is round, similar to what you would expect of the natural movement of pouring the grains over one another. They form a small column upwards towards an invisible point that is just one spec stacked on top of another. It appears as if the pouring motion was frozen in time and the pouring device removed, so that all the viewer is left with is a feeling of pause. Mr. Firedman says he was inspired by the human fascination with cleaning rituals and the potential connection with spiritual rituals. The piece is a simple wire frame that enables the polystyrene pellets to form the continuous natural pile that one would expect from the pouring that seems missing but desired in his piece. Randomness along with selective representation make this piece interesting and unique compared to other mediums and desired representations. In order to obscure the origin even more, it is an untitled piece. The wonder that stems from it and the natural look and feel made the piece credible for the contemporary museum in Los Angeles and is a fine example of what boundaries contemporary art hopes to demolish.
