Hello everyone, my name is Owen. I am a sophomore Computer Science and Japanese Studies major at UAF. I was born in Fairbanks Alaska. While I have traveled much, I have lived in Fairbanks my entire life. Some of my hobbies include listening to music and playing the cello. I hope to share and expand my knowledge and appreciation for all kinds of art with this blog!
I have always enjoyed many forms of art, from paintings, street art, music, and even films. When it comes to art I partake in, I once dabbled in pottery, but I have always played the cello. I have played the cello off and on for about 10 years. I have participated in many events and concerts within the Fairbanks community. As for art I own, I have an extensive vinyl record collection. Totaling in over 100 records that I have bought individually on my travels and ones that I have ordered from releases or other collectors.
Here is a video essay I recently viewed about the Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski that I found very interesting: https://youtu.be/dxRB4sdbIcw?si=q8Nr-nvx7UaZte8K
Finally, here is a piece from Beksinski (it is untitled):
Very interesting artist!
ReplyDeleteSurprising! The work by Beksinski looks like a Romantic era painting. The video essay caught me off guard - he's a 20th cen. artist! I love learning from my students.
