Because it's that kind of day, and because why not, and because, actually, it's kind of awesome, here is the album cover for Stone Temple Pilots' debut album Core, recreated in LEGO by Adnan Lotia. Did you know Core is actually 29 years old now? I bet if you turned on your radio you'd be able to hear it playing somewhere. "I wanna run through your wicked garden heard that's the place to find you/ 'Cause I'm alive so alive now, I know the darkness blinds you." Is it really just Wednesday? Anyway, enjoy.
It 's me, not the artist. Karl Arnaiz's "Duality" (currently on view at Eskinita Art Gallery ) is an invitation to ponder the complexities of life and appreciate the balance that exists even in differences. This 36 x 27-inch piece in charcoal and watercolor isn't just art that looks pretty on a wall. It's art that makes you stop, think, and maybe even re-evaluate how you see the world. Karl Arnaiz paints a meditation on death and its contrasting yet inevitable connection with life. In Duality, he explores the darker corners of the human experience. There is a certain sense of psychological imprisonment that permeates his work, as he paints a woman confined in a room with a disconnected skull floating against the wall. It shows how powerless humans are in the face of mortality and how the imminent passage of time from the woman’s face to the skull is simply nothing but a straight line, a blank, negative space on the wall, showing how nothing can obstruct death...
