Tidal Grace and Waiting Beds

Tidal Grace imbues his semi-abstracted pictures with wit, which is why we like him. He also has a beard. We're pairing his "Tomato Licker" with "Waiting Beds" because he seemed to like that song.


About the painting, the artist says "Tomato Licker: from the delusions that happen to be named Tidal Grace. When love abounds, all is worthwhile in its widest sense."

Lacey Kim and Waiting Beds

We don't normally go abstract here at Red Art Rising Faster (Why not? Because we like pictures!) but something about this one from Lacey Kim spoke to us. It's called "Dialogue of Silence." We're pairing it with "Waiting Beds." Why? Because.

Death takes a Halliday

Forgive the pun, but after posting several recently passed artists, we're happy to have something from the very much living David Halliday. We're mixing his "House en Hamme" with "Usury of the Heart." I don't know why. Maybe the cobblestone effect of his piece brings to mind the bounciness of Usury.





Says Halliday:

Hamme is a small town outside Antwerp in Belgium. I lived there for four years with my wife. We lived on a square. There was a church not more than 20 metres from our house. We had little money. On Saturday evenings we would open our living room window and listen to the organist in the church practice. He would play Bach on this huge pipe organ.

As far as art is concern, I liked a quote by Man Ray. He said,
“I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.”

MF and Little Plaything

Big time Indian painter Maqbool Fida Husain, known for his role in Indian modernism, has died. Here's a painting of Ganesh by MF. Like him, I'm commonly known as "MF" but for me the initials mean something else. We're going to pair this song with "Little Plaything." Why? I'm not sure, and I think that's a good thing.

Limor Nesher All Over The Place

Alien pea-pods? Eyes on the vine? A couple ideas Limor Nesher's painting conjures. It also evokes a sense of endless blooming, even in a world (Is this dawn, or some other planet where the skies are like this all the time? Or some dystopian future after we've poured sulfur into the atmosphere?) with red skies. I feel the seeds spilling forth and sprouting endlessly. Brings to mind the world-ranging spirit of "All Over The Place."




Limor Golan Nesher's inspiration derives from a myriad of sources: outer-space, legends, biblical stories and day to day life, to the most basic inspiration—the human body.
