After Forks found his rap song and Tuomas found his black & white movie, I'm kinda happy we still have this baffling painting.

not even the modern miracle of google's 'visually similar' search helps. pretty sure it's not, for example, this guy:

Saw an exhibit of this dude's work when I was in Buenos Aires last year. It's pretty awesome in person.

Oh, probably b/c I copied it directly from FB... But yeah, there's some cool optical tricks in his work that are enhanced when you're actually in the presence of the art. Like paintings that change color as you walk from one side to the other.

Some 60s op-art guy trying to paint himself out of a hole in 1984
there is a lot of writing in the hal foster school about this very approach, comparing bleckner to, say, dan flavin ... i don't actually think it's bleckner, it doesn't have that gauzy, painterly look that bleckner has
my best guess is that it's someone from that milieu though there is also something chillwave-y and "zoomed in too far on a fuzzy VHS image" that screams recent work, too
― the late great, Monday, 27 February 2012 23:37 (twelve years ago) link
there are so many people doing this type of art though, it's crazy

there's an awesome exhibit at the Hirshhorn right now, Suprasensorial, that showcases Carlos Cruz-Diez, along with Lucio Fontana, Julio Le Parc, Jesus Rafael Soto and Helio Oiticica. I was at the opening day of it and got to watch a panel with Le Parc and Cruz-Diez which was AMAZING.

lol this painting, i did my part and i emailed a friend abt it once, she did not know
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 04:26 (twelve years ago) link
It's still at the Hirshhorn til May 13th! Come and see it! I really liked Soto's stuff (I posted the video below in waht is awesome - it's not from the Hirshhorn but will give you a feel), but Cruz-DIez's Chromosaturation was jut phenomenal. Three rooms interconnected by hallways, each bathed in intense red, green, or blue light, and in addition to the wonderful blending of the colors at their soft edges, and the contrast with the lights on the ceiling, there was also this mindfuck that would happen when you stayed in one room for a few minutes and then quickly walked into another room. Just totally unreal, and very inspiring. Come see it!!

wish i was better at describing art (and music and writing and film and poetry and theater and everything else that is good on earth) because i feel like i often do a disservice to the artists, but for the love of god check it out

I would love to go back and spend more time with it. We arrived late, just 30 minutes before the panel, so we kinda rushed through everything. There was also a cool room with this in it by Dan Flavin:
http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m01alfRUZm1qbnyzno1_500.jpg
my new favorite person in the entire world took that picture but it's hard to see the overwhelming nature of what's going on with that piece from that image. first of all, it's huge - a room probably 40 feet long, 20 feet wide. the light, again, is overwhelming, so that whoever or whatever enters the room becomes immersed in blue. but what's totally fucked up is that after spending some time in there, everything else becomes desaturated. you look at your friend, and your friend is in black and white. it's disturbing and addicting.

Feel like this is the last great unsolved identification mystery of ilx, since we found forks' rap song and Tuomas' typewriter movie.
― how's life, Tuesday, 2 September 2014 09:46 (nine years ago) link
There is a new app describing itself as the shazam for art, called magnus. Very much doubt it would nail this, unfortunately I'm stuck on ios 7 and can't put it to the test.
― I wanna whole Dior hand (ledge), Monday, 20 June 2016 09:33 (eight years ago) link
I think of this thread/pic from time to time and disappear down a several-hour Google Images rabbithole every time. Hopefully one day the mystery will be solved.
(no Magnus for Android yet so I can't try it out either, but their FAQ says there will be one eventually)

I gave Magnus a try. App initially thought it was Rothko and then gave up.
Before I got to that point though, I had to re-read this entire thread and then spend a hour searching the net. This is one of ILX's best black holes.

You know how with photobucket you can get your pictures printed on a canvas? You should do that with this one.
