The persistance of Memory

So I was looking up on the 3D Max program and I came across a French artist, Florian Delarque, who incorporates 3D rendering and photoshopping to create amazing works like this one.

'The Skull The violin player' 2004
It took me a little time to reflect on the purpose of his work which he said '..With Skull, I wanted to create a sweet character. Skull plays violin and he loves it...and he loves to share his passion for music with other..'
In my opinion, your first impression of a work is alway what counts the most. So when I read this I thought, oh no, has Florian failed as an artist to communicate his objective for this piece? But then I closed my eyes and saw the artwork again. This time, my perspective changed entirely. I saw a whimsicle creature, behind the darkness there was a facial expressiveness that was intense but gentle. Very contradictory but very intriguing work nonetheless.

Maybe I'll teach myself how to use 3D max in the holidays. Imagine all the possiblities or the IMpossibilities, if you get me =D

Some more 3D Max

I Love this one. You guys can probably tell that I think without doubt that surrealists like Salvador Dali and Post Modernists like Frank Gehry should rule the world. (Im VERY aware that Dali is long gone from our world..=( )

Now, it might or might not be a shock to you to know that Salvador Dali is my favourite artist. Usually 'favourite' would not be the appropriate word to use since it seems so biased but its 1.25am, and I can't think of a better word to use.

'The Persistence of Memory" 1931

Impressively appropriate title for this painting. I have to use this word again, but the artwork you see below this, is by far my most favourite work there is out there. Well, at least until I find another one although this one is hard to beat since i've been taken by 'The Persistance of Memory' since i first came across it in yr9.
