Arnulf Rainer

beutiful use of layering and photograph/drawing work.

subtle colours too.

Arnulf Rainer, (born 8 December 1929 in Baden, Austria), is an Austrian painter and is internationally renowned for his abstract informal art.

In his early years, Rainer was influenced by Surrealism. In 1950, he founded the Hundsgruppe (dog group) together with Ernst Fuchs, Arik Brauer, and Josef Mikl. After 1954, Rainer's style evolved towards Destruction of Forms, with blackenings, overpaintings, and maskings of illustrations and photographs dominating his later work. He was close to the Vienna Actionism, featuring body art and painting under drug influence. He did a lot of work on Hiroshima, after the bombing.

Found this video of a terribly folky band playing live inside the shop (must confirm it is THE junk shop though!)

Adventure time!

Im not referring to this wondrous cartoon.

But moving to London and what not.

So far we have caught swine flu.

And seen the Turner Prize entrys for this year, which to be fair was a bit of a throwing of £6 whole pounds down the drain.

We also went to the free art fair at the Barbican which is pretty sweet, shall endeavour to gain some free art on the Sunday.

ah and so we are here now

we have just moved to London

my love of trash TV has been encouraged by this program

Dont tell the bride

I also am amazed by the amount of silly faced dogs that are in the world.
