Graffiti has existed at least since the days of ancient civilizations such as Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. Graffiti is usually the large painting on the large interface in public such as the wall, poster, house, car and warehouse. The graffiti artists used the spray paint or marker for their work. The style of graffiti is unique and easy to be recognized. There are many style of Graffiti such as “tag”, “throw up”, “piece” with “block” and bubble”, and more complex style such as “wildstyle”, “blockbuster”. Graffiti could be considered in both art and design:

Graffiti can be art:
- Artists can express their point of view.
- It is developed and maintain since the day of ancient civilization.

Graffiti can be design:
- They way they present on their design also make sense to the audience even it is hard to read.
- It is also some case use for advertisement.

Art Nouveau vs. Psychedelic design

2007-05-16T10:33:00.000-07:00

Art Nouveau appeared in the beginning of 20th century. It can be easy to recognize by the design style is curvy lines, sinuous, flowers, leaves, parquetry... Some artist said Art Nouveau took its inspiration from women. Actually, it is reflected by highly-stylized, undulating, dynamic, and flowing, with curved 'whiplash' lines of syncopated rhythm. Another feature is the use of hyperbolas and parabolas. Art Nouveau has a distinctive visual look. Art Nouveau is considered a 'total' style, meaning that it includes in many aspects — architecture; interior design; decorative arts including jewelry, furniture, textiles, household silver and other utensils, and lighting; and the range of visual arts. Art Nouveau borrowed motifs from Japanese wood prints, a Japanese interior design which had an angular, linear look, combining the grids and parallel lines.

Psychedelic art

Psychedelic looks similar to the Art Nouveau but it is completely different. Psychedelic art is art inspired by the psychedelic experience induced by drugs such as LSD, Mescaline, and Psilocybin. The Psychedelic was inspired by many aspects such as Concert posters, album covers, lightshows, murals, comic books, underground newspapers.

Remodernism and Stuckism (21 August 2006) I recently discovered the existence of an Art movement called Remodernism (also referred to as Struckism). Wiki has a few postings sbout this: Remodernism, Stuckism, Stuckism in America. Here's Wiki's intro to Remodernism:
"Remodernism is a term promulgated by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson, in an attempt to introduce a period of new spirituality into art, culture and society to replace Postmodernism, which they accused of being bankrupt and cynical. Its premise is that the potential of the Modernist vision has not been fulfilled, that its development has been in the wrong direction and that this vision needs to be reclaimed, redefined and redeveloped. It advocates the search for truth, knowledge and meaning, and challenges formalism. The ideas were announced in a manifesto "Remodernism"."
It turns out there are some LA Stuckists, who have seen my American Fundamementalists painting when it was on display in a gallery in North Hollywood in 2004. We are in general agreement regarding "contemporary art", which remonds me of the "tonalist/atonalist" arguments back in my music school days. I was and am firmly in the "tonalist" camp, and in the "figurative/non-figurative" debate also find myself firmly in the former. We have been emaling back and forth, I have been accepted as a "member" (along with links and an image of my work at their site), and they have also reposted my "Art in the 21st Century" essay on thier . Although I prefer the term Remodernist, I look forward to meeting and hanging with some of these LA-area painters, and perhaps doing a group show in the future.

Some of his works:

Chris Cunningham

an English music video film director and video artist

He was a sculptor as the first job. Then he got some idea and wanted to translate them to film. However, at this time he did not have enough experience to shoot these straight ideas become movie. He decided to study how to expert in camera. Then he recognized that light was very important to make a successful movie. He started to learn about lighting. Finally, he also studied how to edit and give effects for a movie by himself. He was already an artist so that when he becomes a director, his film contains many aspects and aesthetics of art.
