Wayne Colquhoun: Bronze Caryatid Pillasters 9ft High-Piece of the Week
http://waynecolquhoun.blogspot.com/2015/06/bronze-caryatid-pillasters-9ft-high.html
Thursday, 25 June 2015. Bronze Caryatid Pillasters 9ft High-Piece of the Week. These Caryatid are 9 feet High and pretty fantastic and would grace any Belgravia mansion. The feet are clawed and they may be a depiction of Minerva the goddess but I will have to do a bit more research on that. They are 9 feet high and in the right place would make more than a statement. I think they may be eastern European. Https:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caryatid. Labels: Piece of the Week. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wayne Colquhoun: August 2014
http://waynecolquhoun.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 27 August 2014. A businessman recently sat in my shop asking, well, in roundabout way, why money does not seem to motivate me, maybe in the way it does him. 8220;There seems more to life to me, than money” I said “Art is important to me and the monetary value can become clouded or even secondary sometimes”. 8220;Here is some of my artwork,” I said reaching over for some life drawings I had recently completed. I do these in about 10 minutes, I consider them a good staring point and sh...8220;It...

Wayne Colquhoun: December 2014
http://waynecolquhoun.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 December 2014. Ships At Anchor by Richard Parkes Bonington-One Of My Favourite Things. This is one of my most favourite pictures. Yes I know I love modernism and 20. Century art, but in a round about way this is the forerunner to those modernist pictures that we are all, now, so familiar with. To my eye this may be a 19. Century work but it is as fresh, and bright, as if it had been painted last year. Because most of being an artist is not just about being able to paint. A lot can be said aga...

Wayne Colquhoun: David Bomberg-Was He A Good Artist Or, Just There?
http://waynecolquhoun.blogspot.com/2015/06/david-bomberg-was-he-good-artist-or.html
Tuesday, 9 June 2015. David Bomberg-Was He A Good Artist Or, Just There? I am not quite certain why I decided to find out more about the artist David Bomberg maybe I was just a bit intrigued by one of his paintings or his life which was different and eventful,. Or maybe I am annoyed that he shot his toe off and escaped the war where many died. The end of World War One, and a generation would try to overcome the scarring by trying to build a new world. He then had stepped into another world and Sargent he...

Wayne Colquhoun: Lusitania Medal.
http://waynecolquhoun.blogspot.com/2015/04/lusitania-medal.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. This Friday 1st May is the anniversary and a tragic date in Maritime history. It is 100 years after the Lusitania set sail for Liverpool. It would not reach its destination. On May 7th it would be torpedoed and sunk by a German Submarine. I offered this medal for a competition in the Liverpool Echo some time ago and it is no longer available but I do feel emotional every year when the date comes about and I start to think of the tragedy. It was said that 500 German medals were str...

Wayne Colquhoun: February 2015
http://waynecolquhoun.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 13 February 2015. Alexander Archipenko-Master of Modernism? Alexander Archipenko's work at first glance and to fresh eyes of the 21. Century seems cliched and old hat. This is because, like many artists such as Mondrian and numerous others that we thought of as modern, it has been copied over and over again by plagiarists. So why does his name stand the test of time and be linked with some of the greats? And where from where did his inspiration occur, was it original? Picasso collage of 1912 R...
