Your favourite artist?

[Curt Chiarelli]

Yes, isn't Boris' stuff witty? He was a master of anthropomorphizing the mechanized world. Somehow, in his gifted hands, that rather cold, dispassionate world aways seemed a bit more friendly and charming!

 

[Talysia]

Those are brilliant. I must admit, this is the first time I've seen his work, but I'm very impressed.

 

[quixotic]

Brilliant Curt

 

[Mithridelle]

I hope to see more of your favourites Curt. They are very interesting.

 

[Curt Chiarelli]

Thank you everyone! Here's a seraphim by Ernst Fuchs:

And here's another vision of loveliness courtesy of Professor Fuchs, less celestial and a bit more conventional:

Deux incroyables approchess, absolumént fantastique, Curt!

Yes, amazing to think that a single mind had enough talent to do both paintings!

 

[Giovanna Clairval]

In a different geist,


Ohne Titel (it's like a veil made of barbed wire...)





Oh, look for the pic labelled : ohne Titel (P101186), 2005, C-Print Aludibond, 52,5x70 cm, Ed. 5 +2AP

beautiful,Gio

Some amazing Emshes

remember,it's commercial art(book & magazine covers)

 

[Curt Chiarelli]

The Geist piece is very ethereal in it's handling of grisaille, Giovanna. Hypnotic.

"Remember, it's commercial art"? Kelly Freas would take a hammer and tongs to you if he ever heard you say that Ben!

 

[HardScienceFan]

I didn't say "it's ONLY commercial art"
cripes i love John,Jack,Kelly,Ed
although with increasing production,Kelly's work suffered somewhat,I feel

 

[Curt Chiarelli]

I was only pulling your leg! At any rate, Kelly never ended up in my all-star artist list. Here's another piece by Fuch's:

And here's two more by another all-time favourite, Mati Klarwein, who sadly passed away at only 69 years of age in 2002:

I'd agree, while adding that he's also amongst the most professional and gentlemanly guys in the biz.

I had the good fortune of working with him on a project for the Noble Collection in the summer of 2002. Here's one of the four results of that collaboration:

 

[Allegra]

All fabulous, guys! Good treat for a Saturday night.

 

[Strife]

i... gulp... agree

 

[Chaser]

Curt, that sculpture is marvellous. I love it.

 

[HardScienceFan]

be that as it may

I was being sarcastic Curt

I'm no Vallejo fan


never will be

 

[Curt Chiarelli]

Lily, Chaser and Strife: Thanks for the kind word!

Oh well, Ben, let's just say that we agree that we disagree on that particular point. Working with Boris was a career highlight for me.

 

[HardScienceFan]

a sisley

you have to agree

He couldn't paint himself out of a paper bag

this is a very poor effort

My sister can do better
