Mercredi - Artists of the Week


This week in my picks, Jean Paul Riopelle and Antoine Ryan.

Monsieur Riopelle of Montreal died seven years ago, but stays as a strong influence. Anyone who's seen my stuff and his might see a connection. And I think I can connect to the guy. I mean, when people see my stuff and ask me if I'm depressed or on some hard drugs, I say not at all, and most know me as a very happy guy. He doesn't look too fucked, which most deep artist end up as. So here's the link to his site.



Second is is monsieur Antoine Ryan. This guy aims more for the photography. He also has paint and ink skills, some of his best stuff is his photography. Studying presently at La Cité colégialle in photography, this guy has is own eye. Grown up in different places, with different people, in different times, his stuff breathes city life as much the small stuff that marks everyday as unique. Check out his flickr website.


Third is Marc Dean Veca. I remember seeing his stuff first in Juxtapoz magazine. This guy has a real talent for his installations. His painting stuff isn't bad either, but I'd pay first for one of his room designs. A definite "must check out" for interior designers. Heres his website.

(PS. photo on top is of my own, not Riopelle's. But if you like go to Oh So Good! in the market to check out more stuff.)

PEACE OUT blog-people
yours truly, Greenwood.
