Sunrise Man. - Lori McNee Artist. In art and design, color allows us to create our own individuality and flare.
For years, interior decorators, graphic designers, advertisers and artists have been using color to enhance our environments. Color can be used to evoke a certain mood or to create a message or sharp response in the viewer. As artists we learn how to use the positive or negative attributes of color in our works to subliminally send a message. The following examples illustrate how people react differently to cool and warm colors… Cool colors:
Surreal Outdoor Art in France. While England has the Olympics, walk along certain streets in France right now and you might just come across some of the strangest, most surreal art you've ever seen.

Where else could you happen to come across what remains of a giant ocean snake, a strangely bent boat or a house floating in the river? EXHIBITION CATALOGS. 4Th Ward School. ISophia3 : Slave #Art #photo... Jing Daily: The Business of Luxury and Culture in China. Li Keran's 1974 painting of Shaoshan sold this summer for 124.2 million yuan (US$22.3 million) With the autumn auction season approaching, major auction houses are taking stock of what we can expect to see in the Asian art market in the remainder of the year, following lower overall volumes despite record-breaking sales in Hong Kong this past spring.
In the wake of a three-year-long string of rising sales — which saw the Chinese art market crowned the largest in the world in 2011 — total sales for Sotheby’s Hong Kong, Christie’s Hong Kong, China Guardian and Beijing Poly dropped 32 percent in spring 2012 vs. fall 2011, as auction houses found it more difficult to procure quality artwork and existing collectors held onto pieces rather than trying to “flip” them for a quick profit. Additionally, supply has been hit by increasing connoisseurship and expertise among new buyers, as well as the building of many private collections that have taken many key works out of the market.

The Art and Science of Minding Your Own Business. “There are only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours, and God’s.” ~ Byron Katie Do you think you’re responsible for the universe?
Or do you stick to your own business? Where do you draw the line between your business and other people’s business?

A documentary about the Chinese dissident artist.
Directed by Alison Klayman. 91 minutes. Opens July 27 at TIFF Bell Lightbox. 14A Know Ai Weiwei? I ask because if you’ve heard of any contemporary artist at all in the past half-decade, it’s more likely than not to be the jocular Chinese humanist for whom making art and aggravating the ruling party of his native land — where he has committed to live, despite the dangers — have become the celebrated, inseparable twin engines of his burgeoning fame. It was this fame, no doubt, that drew documentary filmmaker Alison Klayman to Ai a few years back, when his nagging insistence at questioning the power structures of a so-called “new” China clamouring to join the First World as something other than a manufacturing centre made him the regime’s most annoying and visible touchstone.
In the years that follow, he sets about painting it bigger, brighter and impossible to miss. Illustrations by Marcello. Blue spring. Turquoise Lake. Illustrations by Catherine Hennessey.

Florida-based artist Derek Gores creates brilliant collage masterpieces on canvas using recycling magazines, labels, and other found materials.
Over the years, he has become a master at controlling chaos within his artwork. "I start with a photo shoot, play around deconstructing digitally, and then recreate the tones on canvas with aggressive textures from magazines, maps, song lyrics, etc," Gores explains in an interview with Sour Harvest. "I was the typical tight artist at age 17 but saw the light at the end of that particular tunnel when I was introduced to swashbuckling painters and talking trees and have been fleeing forward into looseness ever since. "I now like tools that are big and clumsy and open up the range of touch, including the process of ripping paper in collage. What I initially thought of as an academic exercise has become heavier and more real than anything else I’ve sunk my teeth into.
