The art of Andrew Schoultz

I first came across Andrew's artwork on a postcard in a parcel from a friend. It really stood out to me and here's some of his work below, i hope it plucks at your mind strings too....





The drawings, murals, and installations by San Francisco artist Andrew Schoultz (1975) are populated by symbolic figures that recall past eras and cultures. Armored horses with banners burst through the image, and Mongolian warriors conjure up notions of the overly powerful, strangely misplaced in time, in a world full of smokestacks scattered among simple log cabins, pylons, and fragmenting nature.

Schoultz develops his works out of the problems of modern, consumer-oriented life. In using his murals to work with either public space or the art space, he tries to trigger processes of association and thought that in no way require a corporate identity, but instead offer the viewer a wide-open field. Schoultz attempts to awaken in the viewer a consciousness based upon an individual sensibility for a responsible treatment of natural life, in order to (re)activate knowledge about nature in our present, culturally characterized time. - The Koln Show

Last thursday, Lynden gathered us up and took us to the Shunt vaults in London Bridge tube station. It was unlike anything i'd ever seen and in amongst the crowds of folk shuffling in the dark was the Paper Cinema. Handmade paper films. Live. Music performed on the spot.

Ellisworth!

I unwrapped a present from Madeleine two days ago and it's been within arm's reach since. It's a book called Capacity, hand written Theo Ellisworth. The book takes you on a journey round the nooks and crannies of Theo's brain.

He's based his nest in Portland, Oregon and his work is supremely brainy and detailed! That's his desk up there!
