Frank Hobbs: June 2013

http://frankhobbsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, inspirations. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. My Interview with Larry Groff. Larry Groff is the author of one of the finest blog/websites on contemporary painters out there today, Painting Perceptions. Many of my heroes - painters like George Nick, Phillip Pearlstein, and Edwin Dickinson - have appeared in the pages of the blog so I was honored when its author, Larry Groff, invited me to do this interview, which appeared last April.

Paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, inspirations. Friday, December 2, 2011. The Dreaded Artist Statement. The bi-annual Ohio Wesleyan art faculty show is up at the Ross Art Museum on campus. Why am I always blind-sided when the folks from public relations ask for an artist's statement? The best artist's statement ever written, by Manet:. A close second, by Jasper Johns:. Do something. Do something to that. Then do something to that.". Or something to that effect.). First, I no longer feel I ha...

Frank Hobbs: February 2013

http://frankhobbsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, inspirations. Friday, February 22, 2013. Like so many other once arcane art media, the art suppliers have obliged us by making these available easily at our local art supply houses, or online. Much as I enjoy playing medieval alchemist in my studio, cooking up strange concoctions of this and that, making things from scratch, I suppose I should be grateful that I don't have to start with the actual cottage cheese in order to make casein paints. Take five and ...

Frank Hobbs: Enlarging the World

http://frankhobbsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2014/11/enlarging-world.html

Paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, inspirations. Friday, November 28, 2014. Oil on canvas, 24" x 30". White House, Autumn (Waterville, Maine). Oil on panel, 15 x 12 inches. These musings on the variability of perceptions of space remind me of one of C.S. Lewis' stories, The Great Divorce. In which a group of inhabitants from Hell are granted a field trip to Heaven. Lewis describes Hell as a sprawling gray city, seemingly without limit. As the y. An inner child, they are. More importantly, I s...

Frank Hobbs: May 2013

http://frankhobbsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography, inspirations. Saturday, May 18, 2013. Does the world really need any more paintings? I spread them out all over my living room and enjoy our reunion. What my paintings might mean to another I can never know. No artist can. When I make them I don't address myself to any audience, imagined or real. Making a painting, for me is, ultimately, a soliloquy; a private, brooding walk in the woods, the end of which is to get clear about something. Posted by Frank Hobbs.
