More like Transformer face. This was totally an Autobot's face. In fact, I bet the artist made it as one of the faces of a Transformer, but then someone else came along and said it's Beethoven's mask.
There was a long three paragraph description on the caption, but I didn't bother reading it. This is a transformer face if I ever saw one.

The most inspiring artwork at ArtChicago this year. This 8-foot wide canvas is massive with an equally massive subject. I've been thinking about going back to making paintings, but I didn't know what to paint. Now I know. Not just bridges, but massive architecture.
I really like all the methods of painting Alexey uses. The scraping, patching, swipes, splatters, washes. All done to give solid volume. A solid mass. I really like the strength of this painting.
Many people walked by and commented on how they liked the painting. They would look for 5 seconds and then walk on. Which is fine. But when you investigate this painting and all the techniques used, this painting becomes captivating. One of the things about artwork is the empathy the artist can envoke through the evidence of creation. That is, the signs of how the work is created. That's why Pollock's work is so captivating.
With this painting Alexey is definitely in the same class with Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Gerhard Richter, and Anselm Kiefer.
This painting is being sold at ArtChicago 2011 by the Art-Kvartal Gallery, Moscow
59x98
$28,000

The thought of getting lost in life gets back more frequently these days.
I keep doing random stuffs when I am supposed to do other things e.g. making lame posters instead of writing essays or designing a time-consuming powerpoint background instead of actually preparing the presentation.
Is it me who's actually good at nothing or is it just my journey of passion seeking too long?
One thing for sure: I really have to stop procrastinating.
Today was Chicago's first sixty degree day in 2011. When I was at the beach during lunch, I had to touch the water to welcome in Spring.
I have to admit, it was strange watching the water rolling onto the shore, because it reminded me of the tsunami in Japan. Of course the waves coming in on Lake Michigan aren't from Japan. But I was imagining that they were.

Happy (Heavenly) Birthday Dad. photo taken in 2006
In Memory of My Dad
If I could write a story, it would surely be one of the greatest stories I have every told. My father was a very kind and loving father. He had a heart of gold and his family meant everything to him (especially the grandkids). I could go on and on yet still have difficulty finding the right words to express how much I love and miss him every single day. I am thankful I found a love for the camera and he never said no to me taking his pictures. I am still hurting and sad but I know he is no longer suffering and he is with my mom. They are together again which is what he always wanted. He wanted to be with his wife. Pop-Pop you are loved and missed by our family. We were abundantly blessed to have had you for a such a long time. {Random Thought 1.17.2025}
Always nice when you are the benefactor of unexpected pleasures. Birthday weekend coming to an end. Wasn't planning on doing any celebrating but others had different plans for me. I have to say it has been an awesome, amazing and relaxing birthday weekend with some wonderful folks. Thankful for the people in my life who love me for me and have made this weekend with them very memorable. I am still smiling. #LivingLifeLikeItsGolden #Random Thought 9.27.15

It’s the evening of December 28. Dinner has been cooked and consumed, with dishes washed (mostly) and leftovers put away. I’m now sitting at my dining room table filling a notebook with random thoughts about life and love, while the Christmas tree lights glow and the music of Miles Davis swirls around the house, filling any sad or empty spaces in my head.
