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.
CM: I know you went to the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. Was drawing and painting something that you did from an early age, or did you start later?
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.

I’ve talked about her work a little bit before, but thought it was time for a formal introduction. Tran Nguyen is an artist currently working on completing a BFA in Illustration at SCAD. She mainly works with light layers acrylic wash, some colored pencils added to the mix, all masterfully applied to a sheet of Rives BFK paper. If you have never felt Rives paper, it has this amazing texture to it and it perfect for an artist as talented as Tran. She recently had a sol show entitled “Nurturing The Uneased Soul” at the Thinkspace Gallery, and they even did an interview with her to go along with the show. Tran is definatley an artist to keep an eye on, so make sure after you are done looking at these images to head over to her blog and subscribe to her RSS if you like what you see.
To go along with Lola’s “Ipsum Factum” show at the Corey Helford Gallery, a limited edition print is now available. Based on the largest painting in the show, “Your Ordinary hero”, this print is 25″ x 20″ image area on 29″ x 24″ paper. Signed and numbered in an edition of 50 for $250 each. I love that the print is such a large size, as there is so much detail in the work.

This past Saturday, March 27th, the Corey Helford Gallery opened “Ipsum Factum” the latest solo show from Lola. This show features over a dozen new acrylic painting, ranging in size from the very impressive 50″ x 40″ “Your Ordinary Hero” painting, all the way down to “Sushi” coming in at only 1.5″ oval. As of writing this, the show is pretty much sold out; It’s not surprising as Lola always has great work, and this show is very solid. The paintings all flow together beautifully, and the color palette she uses really helps to bring the world she has created to life, a very surreal life at that. I love the idea that these paintings are made with acrylics. More and more, artists are showing that a medium once thought to not be as dynamic as oils, truly is in the right hands.
Take a look are the preview images here, and then over to the site for the full show:

Saw this floating around some of the art & design sites and had to share. Polish artist Kordian Lewandowski drawn inspiration from Michelangelo’s famous sculpture, La Pieta, and reinterpreted the piece with Mario and the Princess. Entitled “Game Over”, the sculpture was made out of polystyrene foam, first chiseled down with a chainsaw and then refined with more standard tools. Head on over to his website for more images, and to take a look at the other inspiring work he makes.
