How can art with tactile elements increase empathy? Spanish artist Selva Aparicio's installation, Childhood Memories, invited viewers to walk on the carved flooring, blurring the boundaries between the artwork and the viewer, while fostering a sense of involvement and connection. This choice may evoke feelings of vulnerability, as the personal and intimate memories are exposed to the possibility of being trodden upon or disregarded by viewers. It also creates a tension between the artwork's inherent fragility and the necessity for visitors to interact with it by walking on the carved surface. This interaction may provoke questions about the relationship between the viewer and the viewed, as well as our responsibility in engaging with and respecting the personal narratives of others. Furthermore, the physical wear and tear from being walked on could be seen as a metaphor for the lasting impact of childhood trauma on an individual's life. As the carvings become worn down over time, it reflects the way past experiences can shape and erode one's sense of self. As powerful as I find this piece, I keep wondering how further accessibility could heighten the artist’s efforts? Should there a sound sensor to alert those to the change in flooring? Could a recording from the artist heighten the impact by being juxataposed with the visual? #Curator #FemaleArtist #Museums #Art #SensoryInclusive https://lnkd.in/gKyNs6HS

Fancy an arty start to your week? (Of course you do, it's World Art Day!) Here's a super-quick (and slightly sweary) masterclass on how to create the perfect gallery wall. It's easy when you know how... 1. Select your art. Start with just a handful of pieces, so it doesn't feel too overwhelming. 2. Lay your art on the floor, to help you visualise the arrangement. 3. Start by hanging your focal piece of art and work from there. 4. Keep an equal distance between frames to keep your artwork from looking too cluttered. 5. Play with different shapes and sizes to add visual interest. Don't feel you need to stick to prints, either. Your home, your rules! 😍

Murals. Sculptures. And more. Lots of public art. Public art is where I spend a big chunk of my time. I work with communities and organizations to provide public art opportunities for artists. I also make some public art. I've found I prefer working in the public art world. The "canvases" are much larger - sidewalks, sides of buildings, etc.. Your art is seen by a wider range of audience on a daily basis. Public art perks up everyone's day.  Finding opportunities to exhibit your work doesn't have to be limited to traditional gallery spaces. Am I saying, "Ignore the galleries!"? Of course not. But as an artist it makes sense to think beyond the "four white walls". That being said, stay tuned. I have some gallery exhibits showcasing new work coming up later this year. So while I'm a big proponent of public art, galleries are still part of the "being an artist" equation. I've recently been sitting down with Craig Tirey of Slow Down Cowboy studios at Front Street in Dayton, Ohio. We've been recording a podcast series interviewing Dayton artists about being an artist. The topic of alternative venues arises frequently. It is interesting hearing how different artists are finding ways to show (and sell) their art and skills. I’d like to hear your stories about how you approach your art business and finding non-gallery ways to show and sell your art. Comment below. #publicart #artists #art #businessofart

ADD TO YOUR 5 A DAY WITH ONE PIECE OF ART Exposing yourself to art can be thought-provoking and beneficial for the brain, the mind, and your overall thinking. Inspired by Glen Perotte’s expedition-themed exhibition, I've set myself a personal challenge this week: to seek out a piece of art each day at lunchtime. Glenn’s exhibit, which I highly recommend, captivated me so much that I returned to CCA Galleries today. As well as the images from Kenya, upstairs I found his 2020 album filled with powerful photos and stories. That’s the beauty of art: it’s not only something to see but also something to contemplate. Every piece speaks volumes, inviting reflection—whether we love it, feel challenged by it, or even feel uncertain about it. Art always elicits a reaction, and exploring these reactions can be deeply rewarding. In Glen’s photography, I’m especially drawn to how he captures the vibrant life of plants against stark backdrops—the misty mountains, the austere rocks—creating a striking contrast that highlights nature’s resilience within rugged surroundings. This juxtaposition brings depth, showing how something alive and vibrant can stand out against cold, harsh settings. It reminds me how we all reflect and interpret art differently, finding connections to ourselves or simply appreciating the unique compositions. If you have the chance, I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Glen’s exhibit at CCA Galleries. Or perhaps follow my challenge: make it your goal this week or next to experience one inspiring piece of art each day. Let it move you, provoke you, and spark your own reflections.

🎨 Dive into the haunting beauty of "Hull Docks at Night" by John Atkinson Grimshaw, a master of Victorian nocturnal scenes, whose unique approach to light and shadow encapsulates the essence of the Industrial Revolution under moonlit skies. 🖌️ Set against the backdrop of the bustling Hull Docks, this artwork employs Grimshaw's distinctive style of meticulous detail combined with a photorealistic approach. Using oil on canvas, Grimshaw captures the shifting reflections in the water, the glowing lamps, and the misty atmosphere, with an almost magical realism that brings the industrial landscape to life. 🌒 Artistic Vision: Grimshaw's ability to blend the realism of nightly industrial scenes with a touch of ethereal mystery sets his work apart. His strategic use of light, notably the incandescent gas lamps that both illuminate and cast deep shadows, creates a cinematic quality that predates actual film noir by decades. 📜 Controversies: Grimshaw's decision to focus on such nocturnal scenes, often seen as dreary or mundane, was initially met with skepticism. His romanticized perspective of industrial settings challenged the prevailing artistic norms, which favored more pastoral or historic subjects. 🔍 Through paintings like "Hull Docks at Night," Grimshaw invites us to reconsider the beauty found in industrial progress, highlighting an often overlooked narrative in Victorian art. His work not only depicts a moment in time but also tells the story of an era transitioning through monumental changes, with each brushstroke revealing the tension between nature and industrialization. #JohnAtkinsonGrimshaw #VictorianArt #Nocturne #IndustrialRevolution #ArtHistory #OilPainting #Photorealism #MagicRealism #LightAndShadow #NightScenes #IndustrialArt #VictorianEra #ArtisticVision #ArtControversy #HistoricArt #CinematicArt #GasLamps #HullDocks #NauticalArt #EnglishArt #ArtCollector #GalleryView #ArtExhibition #CulturalHeritage #ArtEducation #HistoricalArt #19thCenturyArt #ArtisticChallenge #PaintingAnalysis
