It’s a really great yearly festival that I’ve been drawing in since it’s inception three years ago. Thanks to some super awesome people and organizations like Penny and Amanda and everyone at the Northampton Center for the Arts, the Northampton BID, and Chartpak for making it such a fun experience!

Translating Blues
Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags abstract, Art, blue, damn the camera, hue, Painting, steph gerolimatos, stephg on August 4, 2012 by ssstephg
I’ve discovered this week that my camera has a very unsophisticated view of the color blue in all its varying hues. I was aware of the Canon’s unconcerned attitude about transparent vs opaque, but I was unprepared for this “one blue fits all” motto. According to my Canon (on any setting in any light) there is basically one blue with minor variance of any sort at all. Ultramarine is indistinguishable from Manganese or Phthalocyanine. Cobalt? Prussian? Bah! What’s the difference? In fact, in certain instances, isn’t turquoise pretty much the same thing as lavender? No. Do not file this under hyperbole. Anyway, after shooting and reshooting and cursing and hair-pulling, I resorted to some heavy photoshopping to get these photos which are still not an accurate account of what you’d see if you came over for a studio visit to take a look at my new painting/sculpture thing. Ah well. Here it is.
Yeah, it’s kind of a lumpy puddle, isn’t it? It measures about 18 x 16 x 4 inches, and we’ll designate it “mixed media” because who really cares what it’s made of? Well, if you care to know, you can always ask.
Have a happy weekend!

New Blue On Old Green, Sticks But No Stones
Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags abstract, Art, mixed media, Painting, sculpture, Stephanie Gerolimatos on July 28, 2012 by ssstephgMixed Media
Dimensions Variable
Here’s the new piece I mentioned last weekend. I managed to set it up and snap some photos. The green wall… uh, don’t mind the green wall. Actually, I’ve grown used to the green wall so I don’t mind it as a background here nearly as much as I did initially.
So this is how I have it set up for the time being. I plan on trying a few different arrangements. I want to see how it looks with the stick forms hung closer together. I also want to try flipping the bottom part (which, by the way, is a two inch deep two foot square panel that just leans against the wall) 180 degrees. I suppose I need to get a shot from the side that includes the panel in order to give a better idea of the whole.
Speaking of the panel, I’m going to include a shot of it on its own as well as a handful of detail shots to give you a closer look at it. It’s basically a three dimensional painting–not exactly new for me. I incorporated acrylic, flocking fiber, dryer lint, silver leaf, glitter! and various other stuff. I will also include some closeups of the stick thingies. They are another mix of lots of stuff–most of the same stuff as the painting plus more.

Stand-in Still Life Sunday
Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, hurdles, I still love you, improvisation, less than ideal conditions, proper facilities, roadblocks, stephg, still life on July 22, 2012 by ssstephg
Oh hey there. Hope you’re all enjoying your S-days. I had hoped to have images of a newly finished piece ready to share with you this week, but I don’t. The piece is finished. The photos are not. Shooting pics is proving to be a bit larger of a hurdle than foreseen. The real issue is that I lack an appropriate setting in which to present the work. Ah well. I will improvise something in the next few days, I promise. In the meantime, I will pad this less than interesting blurb with images of a still life that lives in the corner of my dining room.

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles: Art Walk & Chalk

alien by MarkieB
We ambled over the mountain to check out Easthampton–the neighboring town’s monthly art crawl yesterday. We saw some really fantastic art, and drew with other artwalkers outside one of the venues. Here’s a handful of chalk drawings from the festivities. There were many more, but these are a few that stood out AND photographed pretty well.

These pillars were already decorated when we got there.

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles: Not Sunday, Not OK

links to Huff Post article on LA chalk art protests
Although my sidewalk doodles have been few and far between for a bit now, the recent limestone-related absurdities in LA have aroused my ire. Here’s a link to follow if you have not yet read about the magnificently ridiculous recent events. I don’t even know what to say about this fiasco. Arresting people for drawing on the ground with chalk seems… asinine. It’s hard to believe. In case you were wondering, this is not a joke. Good luck digesting the indigestible.
With a fair bit of nausea,

Pogonological Wonder In Graphite
Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, Drawing, graphite, pogonology, sketch, steph gerolimatos on June 30, 2012 by ssstephg
12 x 9 inches
graphite on archival mat board
This is a small drawing I did of a friend. It’s for the same project Tom Bennett mentioned in this post. I decided to do a straight forward graphite sketch since I rarely draw anymore. I was hoping that making a simple drawing would be a quiet, meditative exercise–good practice and a positive experience for my fucked up brain. It was. Maybe I’ll get back in the habit of drawing now. Maybe not. I could probably count on both hands the number of times I’ve sat down in the last 15 years and actually drawn an image of something in front of me. At any rate, it came out ok, not exactly accurate, but there is a likeness.

Blue Fur-ball Delight AKA Bits & Pieces Of A WIP
Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, process, stephg, wip, Work in Progress on June 16, 2012 by ssstephg
Yep, that’s what these are, just a few images of parts of something I’m working on. Maybe I’ll even finish it someday and post the final work here. In case you were wondering, no, those are not blue fur-balls in that photo above. I did not dye my cats blue to facilitate my art making. Don’t be ridiculous.
With sincerity and a powerful gust of ambivalent sighs,

Let’s see now, what to say about this. How about it’s not finished yet, but it’s starting to make me grin. I hope that thing that sometimes happens where I show an unfinished piece and then lose interest in it doesn’t happen this time.
Thanks for looking!

Well, I flipped it upside down, and it might be done. The jury is still out. Do I want to leave it soft and chewy? Or do I want a crunchy cookie? Depends on the mood, and I am nothing if not moody. Whaddaya think, Fini or get back to work?
In a timeout,
