One of the things I enjoy the most when researching art, is seeing the process an artist goes through to create his/her art. There are few things quite as magical as watching a blank canvas, slowly turn into stunning paintings that gives way into a new world. I have always been interested in the way that mary Ryden especially creates his paintings, and now he has a time lapse video that shows the process. The painting shown in the video is entitled “Incarnation” and will be at his upcoming “The Gay 90’s” exhibition coming soon at The Paul Kasmin Gallery

For this months feature, the Creep Machine not only had the pleasure to show the art of Vincent Castiglia, but to also interview him. I do hope what is recorded below will give viewers a greater understanding into the artwork that Vincent creates, but also to foster a greater appreciation of it. Vincent creates his paintings with only the use of his own blood. Looking past the medium one can clearly see that he is creating allegorical paintings, dealing with the ideas of life, death, and rebirth. Works of art that are iconic and timeless. I would like to thank Vincent for taking the time to answer these questions.
Vincent: I began drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil and comprehend how to make a mark on any given surface. Making art began like “The Great Escape” for me, and the most efficient way to disconnect from the war zone of what appeared to be a home from the outside world. Those initial marks on paper, walls, or just about anything I chose to draw on would pave the way to a much more contemplative sphere of reasoning and technical execution than what was possible at three or four. But nonetheless those early markings were the formative acts which were to unfold into a tree of destiny, the fruits of which are now my sustenance and the life of my flesh. (more…)
