Head & Neck Angiography – A Stereogram

February 19th, 2012 | Brain

How did I not know about this before!  This is amazing, but you have to have some patience!

stereogram is a pair of two-dimensional panels depicting the view of a scene or an object from the vantage points of the right and left eyes.  Basically, if you can train your eyes to look at the images correctly, you can see in 3-dimensions without the need for 3d glasses.

In order to see in 3d, you must follow these instructions very carefully: http://www.2eyephotography.com/

Give it some patience, and you will be able to do it.  It’s kind of like Magic Eye.  The key is to make sure the middle image is the same size as the images on the sides, then just keep focusing back and forth between your pencil and that middle image until you can keep the middle image in focus.  Then voila!  You can see in 3d!

Try not to get frustrated, and take a break if you are getting a headache, but it will be awesome when you can see the depth.

Paper Anatomy

February 2nd, 2012 | Brain

Inside the human body lies a universe of astonishing structures – the internal wonders of nature that enable us to live.  While most people don’t get much opportunity to see what we’re made of, I promise you, it’s worth it.

 I have become a big fan of Anatomical Art, but the work above by Lisa Nilsson takes my interest to a whole new level.  She created these masterpieces by meticulously rolling and shaping narrow strips of Japanese mulberry paper in a technique called paper filigree or quilling.  As you can imagine, each section takes several weeks to complete.

I’m truly amazed by the accuracy she attained in her pieces.  If you put these images in an anatomy textbook, I’m not sure you’d appreciate the difference.

Lisa is a Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) graduate from the Northeast U.

Are We Not Drawn Onward, We Few, Drawn Onward to New Era

Yo Banana Boy – 2007 Oil on stainless steel, 66 x 50 cm

Valerio Carrubba is an Italian artist, born Sicily in 1975, and now living and working in Milan.  His work is defined by vibrant colors and hyper-realistic imagery that has a way of jumping off the canvas at you.  To create this effect, he uses high quality oil paints and ultra thin synthetic brushes on stainless steel canvases that are prepared by spraying two layers of a transparent primer for metals and two layers of white acrylic pigment before painting.

Degas Is Aged – 2008 Oil on stainless steel, 60 x 52.6 cm

Delia Failed – 2006 Oil on stainless steel, 60 x 52.6 cm

Nina Ricci Ran In – 2006 Oil on stainless steel, 60 x 52.6 cm

Bird Rib – 2007 Oil on stainless steel, 52 x 70 cm

From his gallery’s website:

What is unusual about Valerio Carrubba’s process is his choice to paint the same picture twice, so that the superimposition of the same figure creates a slight mismatch in lines and forms. This repeated action transforms the painting into an automatic gesture, that at one and the same time, emphasizes and repudiates the subject.

If you have a keen eye, you may have noticed that all of the titles are actually palindromes (as is the title of this post!), words or phrases that can be read forwards or backwards without a change in meaning.  Carrubba’s painting technique could be described as palindromic as well – he implements a doubling of each brushstroke to take away any hint of texture, which I think gives his paintings a certain stoicism.

And while I have always been a big fan of anatomical drawings (likely the reason I was drawn to his work), Carrubba was not actually very interested in the anatomy itself.  As noted in one interview with Carrubba:

My approach to painting is totally conceptual. My work is to continually develop the realisation of processes from which pictures are derived. Putting the idea of form, subject and content in crisis, they arrive at the loss of the image and its meaning… …I am not interested in anatomy itself, it is just a means. I try to emphasise this ambiguity.

Needless to say, Carrubba must have studied his anatomy quite closely to produce such accurate portrayals of the human body.
