So I'm pretty much settled in my new apartment, but as I was sitting in my living room one night I was irritated at the fact that my walls are so... plain, naked, bare etc... so I start thinking about ideas on how to fix this dilemma of mine. Should I paint the walls, if so what color... after going in circles looking at color samples I switch to think about art to hang on the walls instead and maybe come back to the colors later. So I get online and start searching for ideas... something that reflects me... even though I'm not as active as I used to be in it, music is still a big part of my life, so I start to narrow it down... and I come across this artist David Garibladi, his work is exactly what I'm looking for. He had so many amazing pieces that I ended up picking 10 of various sizes.
Upon further research, he is also an amazing performance artist who paints portraits of famous and historical figures in front of live audiences ( which he calls Rhythm & Hue ) most in under 10 minutes. I found a bunch of videos of him on Youtube and here are a few of my favs.
Jimi Hendricks
Kanye West
Albert Einstein
Jesus Christ
He also has done Elvis, President Obama, John Lenon, Mother Theresa, Alicia Keyes, Ray Charles, Mick Jagger, Carlos Santana, Bob Marley, Martin Luther King, Bono and others check him out.
