The painting of Shannon and Josh

Result #1

The painting of Shannon and Josh , a pair of young men whose heads are covered with tattoos and who have been photographed in public places (such as a bar), is of a different nature. The images are not taken from the artists own life, but from the news media. The images are about a young man who is a tattoo artist in New York. They show him in the studio, holding up a tattoo that has been covered over with a rough-looking tattoo. It is a textured mess, a mess of blood, and blood on the wall. The man is trying to clean up the mess, but he is unable to. The images show the man in a mirror, trying to look in a mirror and not look at himself in the mirror. The images are pictures of a man trying to find his way through a messy mess, and they capture the intense struggle with which the young men are trying to make their way. The images are of the struggle to make a way in the world.The work of Philip Pearlstein is a reflection on the art of the media. In his work he uses the images of news-media images to make a point about media representation. In the work of David Diao, he uses the images of a Chinese newspaper to make a point about the manipulation of truth in the media. The media is a tool to shape and shape us. It is the instrument of power. We can use it to shape our perception of reality and the world, to make us respond to certain ideas or even to get a job. We can use it to create illusions, to make us believe in the existence of an imaginary world, or to make us believe in the existence of a Chinese character. The media is a tool of control. Pearlstein is not interested in the art of the media as such; he is interested in the art of the media as a tool of control. His work is a reflection on the relationship between the media and reality.

. . . , is a perfect example of the old-fashioned way in which the American public is taught that the real art is the product of a highly refined and sophisticated craft. In the case of Shannon and Josh, however, the painting is nothing but the results of a process of technical and artistic experimentation. The results are a dazzlingly beautiful display of complex abstractions and colors.

The painting of Shannon and Josh  showed how much a cultural appropriation can be a stylistic gesture. In this case, the appropriation was made from a major painter, and the result was a splendid, refined, and cohesive show.The work in the show was mostly small, but also included a lot of paintings, and some sculptures, as well as a few paintings, which had a lot of range and had a lot of depth. The works were all very clearly based on the artists life. A few of the works showed the influence of imagery and language from other artists, but most were concerned with the artists own relationship to the painting process. The artist had to create a painting, and it was a very personal one, and the results were more or less abstract, although they had a kind of pictorial vitality and a kind of folkloric charm. The paintings were done in acrylic, and the palette was limited to white and black. The paintings were made by hand, and the colors were highly individual. Shannon and Josh  used a variety of techniques, including spray painting, transfer painting, and gouache. The surfaces of the paintings were often rough and rough-looking, and the paint was applied in layers, sometimes overlapping and occasionally separating. The paintings were very painterly, and the colors, which were often intense and vibrant, were vibrant and intense. The paintings were not meant to be taken as paintings, and the best of them were very personal and private. The personal touch was evident in the choice of color and in the delicate lines of the paint. The result was a very personal painting, but one that was not too personal.The show included a number of the paintings that Shannon and Josh  have been making for the last few years, and the most recent, a group of paintings entitled Womens Room. Womens Room is a series of six paintings. The paintings are based on a photograph of Shannon and Josh  sitting around a table.

The painting of Shannon and Josh  was a case of a combination of an unexpected, almost anarchistic, intimacy and an even more unexpected, almost nostalgic, self-consciousness. The intimacy was not that of the photographs themselves, but of the way in which Shannon and Josh have positioned themselves in the history of American art. In their early work, they were seen as an extension of the New York School, and their installation was a sad commentary on the failure of that tradition. Their most recent work, however, is a celebration of their life in New York. The paintings are still a bit sketchy, but the artist has worked with a precision and economy that is stunning. Shannon and Josh  have managed to escape the social and political dimensions of their earlier work, and they have succeeded in bringing these dimensions into dialogue with the paintings.The paintings are not only a commentary on the failure of American painting, but also a celebration of its life.

The painting of Shannon and Josh  (all works 2007) shows a young woman in a short black dress and a little black skirt, with a pair of white shoes, a white shirt, and a pair of white sneakers. She is sitting on a low white platform with a few objects scattered around: a black belt buckle on her right shoe, a small leather and plastic bag on her left shoe, and a plastic bag in her right hand. The image is taken from a video of the artist, who lives in the Austin area, and the photographs are of the artist, but also of her friends. She is seen from behind, and her head is obscured by a pocket-sized purse. The pose is a kind of limber self-assurance, a cautious evasion of the viewers gaze. In the painting, the same question is posed but with different results. In the painting, the woman is shown with her right leg raised, but only her hip is visible, her right hand is folded in a handbag. The black-and-white painting is a black-and-white version of the black-and-white painting, but it is a different painting, one that, like the painting, shows the female body as a painted surface, a surface that can be manipulated and that can be used as a means to an end. In the painting, the body is turned into a painted surface, a surface that is simultaneously both a surface and an end, a surface that can be used as both a surface and a thing. The paintings title, Untitled (Body Painting), is a pun on the title of a 1993 work by the same name, which consists of a rectangle of plaster cast-iron with two fingers that, when touched, turns into a fleshy hand that holds a paintbrush. In Body Painting, however, the hand seems to hold the paintbrush. In the body painting, the hand is a projection of the body, and the projection is a projection of the body.
