Bart van der Leck, "The Tempest" at the exhibition "Piet Mondriaan en Bart van der Leck", Gemeentemuseum Den Haag
Deposition (study), Tim Lowly © 2015 This drawing will be part of a large group exhibition title "Return of the Exquisite Corpse" at Printworks Gallery in Chicago, opening in early December. Each of the 105 artists has made one section of a vertical triptych of a body. In my case I've done the legs section. I have no idea what the two other sections combined with this one will look like or who they are by.
This drawing is also something of a conceptual study for the painting Deposition that I posted yesterday. I'll let you figure out how they are related...
PHAENO STUDY #1
Frohes neues Jahr!
Nachdem es zum Ende des letzten Jahres etwas still geworden ist hier auf schmaidt.de gibt es jetzt wieder neue Fotos. Zwischen den Feiertagen habe ich die Zeit gefunden, dass von Zaha Hadid geplante Phaeno in Wolfsburg zu fotografieren. Als großer Fan dieser Architektin hatte ich das Phaeno schon lange auf der Liste. Das Gute ist: Es ist fotografisch immens ergiebig. Das heißt, ihr könnt in nächster Zeit immer mal wieder vorbeischauen und die Serie verfolgen, die es von mir vom Phaeno geben wird.
Der erste Teil der Serie ähnelt vom Bildaufbau her stark anderen Bildern von mir von moderner Architektur. Ich liebe einfach die spitz zulaufenden Winkel im 1:1-Format. Gerade bei Zaha Hadid konnte ich aber keinesfalls auf diese Perspektive verzichten, da die extrem spitz und dynamisch zulaufenden Gebäude-Ecken klarer Bestandteil ihrer Architektur sind. Schon bei ihrem Erstlingswerk, dem Feuerwehrhaus in Weil am Rhein, zeigt sich dies ganz deutlich und hat sich bis heute in ihrem Stil gehalten.
So far,
Martin

PHAENO STUDY #1
Happy new year!
After there were not that much photographic news in the last weeks in 2014 by myself, I found the time to shoot the Phaeno building in Wolfsburg (Germany) by the architect Zaha Hadid. Since I'm a great fan of her, the Phaeno has been on my list for a long time. The good news is: The building offers so many interesting perspectives such that there will be a whole series of photos of that building in the next days/weeks.
The first part of the series is somehow quite similar with respect to composition than other fine art architecture shots by me. I simply love these dramatic lines and angles in the 1:1 format. And especially with a building of Zaha Hadid, I cannot ignore this perspective since these lines and angles are a characteristic part of her architectural work from her beginnings on.
So far,
Martin
PS: The exact data of the capture can be found on www.schmaidt.de in my blog.
Study, Recently relocated from Delaware to Alabama, a few photos from the new home now that we are unpacked and actually have window coverings on most windows.
Desk and bookcase from Ikea, chair from Calligaris, rug from Esprit. Closer photo of the desk; www.flickr.com/photos/seremet/7372478948/ and the shelf www.flickr.com/photos/seremet/6268627553/. And a little update about speakers www.flickr.com/photos/seremet/7660241580/
I resisted buying this for a long time, but it's like being taken over by the Borg, resistance is futile. Anyway I really like it. I like that it has an actual working light, & electrical outlets (non working) that you can plug things into, and drawers that open. I love the chair too, I wish I could get a bunch of them.
Winter is providing a rare combination of about 2 feet of snow, and temperatures remaining below freezing now for about a week with extremes of 1 degree F
Thus, Icicles grow and stick to the roof for awhile, allowing close up studies.
And the patterns are very similar
