The HL World: 2008

Vincent

In the HL World, artists do not speak about other artists, do not write about other artists, they rather perform their art, placing the other artists as their central subject.

Using a single painting, a whole life can be told:

"Vincent and the ravens"

(Colored chalk on card - 40x32 inches)

Fake Materials and their use

We've already seen some examples of HL World's materials (Marble, Wood). Hereafter are a couple more, and an example of use of their digital counterpart:

"Brisure" (Acrylic on card)

"Travertin" (Acrylic on card)

(The above fake marble entered as a material in SketchUp palette,

and used to texture a pillar.)
