Hello! This is very interesting art. The one named "Dido" is my favorite.
To answer your question regarding the shadow meme. It is called "Shadow Shot Sunday". Say that three times fast. lol. The URL is http://heyharriet.blogspot.com Have a good day. Lisa
Libhom ---- aaaaaaaaaah, I was hoping someone would. I said before that I favored the paintings but the sculptures are now growing on me with repeated viewings.
loving the hairy legs painting! just popped over today after not being around for a bit and so read about beatrix then ana...quite a spread of content! it's good to stretch my brain once in awhile, right?!!
I have to say I can appreciate these, but I don't think I like them. I wouldn't want to live with one, for instance... They don't scratch my itch, but I can see how they might scratch someone else's, all right.
pagan sphinx: What interests me most about art is the aspect of emotional communication. I love works like these which say things to me emotional that it would take me hours to describe with words.
Thank you for taking the time to say you've been here.

I like Ana Pachecho's paintings better than the sculptures but then again, I'm a bigger fan of paintings in general.
ReplyDeleteTo my eye, the head looks a bit like Christopher Walken, one of my favorite actors!
Thanks for the info. on Shadow Sunday. Looking forward to it!
Thanks Villas Girl, for stopping by here!
It's a little weird for my taste, but I do like the top two.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is definitely 'Hairy Legs of the Queen of Sheeba'. Thanks for posting some of her work.
ReplyDeleteSusan: there's a series of these queen of sheeba with hairy legs paintings. They're very sweet. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting to me how some of her works make me laugh out loud with delight, while others are so obviously tortured.
ReplyDeleteSo now I'm a fan - thanks!
Wow. That last pic "Damned" is an eye opener... An eagle on torturing a person... Hmmm?
ReplyDeleteVery odd but fascinating. 'Dido' reminds me of Chagall a little. Strange, in a good way.
ReplyDeleteMark - it's nice to see you by!
ReplyDeleteThe last image is a side of Ana Pachecho I don't know a lot about but certainly nightmarish.
Wow, some of her work is really arresting. What a find.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I like her sculptures even more than her paintings. They almost have a gravitational pull on my eyes.

ReplyDeleteMakes me want to go back to London.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting. There's a haunted look to the faces of her subjects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a post! Each image is more bone-chillingly bizarre than that preceding it. As always, you have quite the eye for intriguing art...
