DAILY ART FIX: Artist Quote – Billy Childish

Art world links which caught my eye…

Billy Childish “Self Portait With Tree” Oil and charcoal on linen 60.04″ x 60.04″

We believe in a society in delusion, and if you’re awake and not deluded people tell you you’re mad. That’s why I’m a freak and they’re not. But I’m actually not.

-Billy Childish(b. December 1, 1959), the co-founder of Remodernism.

DAILY ART FIX: PAINTING AND THE ART OF STAKING A CLAIM

Art world links which caught my eye…

Reblogged from Michele Bledsoe’s blog The Secret Kingdom.

When it comes to my paintings, wy wife has first dibs. Here she writes about her latest aquisition, a work I completed at the end of 2023.

When I finished the piece I showed it to my family during a Zoom chat. When my brother asked what the painting was called, Michele answered, “Mine.”

Richard Bledsoe “Herd” acrylic on canvas 20″ x 24″

“My husband Richard is an extraordinary artist..

just one of the many things I love about him.

He has sold many paintings over the years

but every once in a while

I stake my claim.

When Richard finished Herd

I told him it was mine.

So it is.”

I’m honored Michele wanted this piece. It was the start of a new series I continue to develop.

DAILY ART FIX: ‘Hidden in plain sight’- King Charles’ extremely red official portrait sparks Satanism conspiracies

Art world links which caught my eye…

Mirror Mirror: The Portrait of Charles III mirrored suggests the face of Baphomet

The elites have long flaunted their association with Satan. Establishment pet artist Marina Abramović has build a whole career toying with that imagery.

Now a new portaint of KIng Charles III by Jonathan Yeo has made people wonder if art is being used as a not so subtle code to show who the King’s master is.

A tradtional depiction of Baphomet:

“’King Charles. Satanists, pedophiles, extinctionists. This is what describes the people who wield the most power in the modern world,’ an X user wrote. ‘They used to hide it. But now they don’t. They flaunt their love for satan through symbolism.’

“The user continued: ‘Those who see it are branded conspiracy theorists, because the masses do not yet believe that our governments are in lock step with each other and are controlled by globalist organisations like the UN, WEF, and WHO. Our world is ruled by people who believe that earth of overpopulated and want to wipe out most of humanity. There is only one reason why not a single person that paid to rape, molest, and murder children on epstein island is in jail: They are the ones at the top.’”

DAILY ART FIX: Made for the Present – The Many Styles of Pablo Picasso

Art world links which caught my eye…

Pablo Picasso “Minotaur and Wounded Horse”

A recent Art Institute of Chicago exhibit highlighted the evolving art of Pablo Picasso.

“Presenting more than 60 of Picasso’s drawings, prints, paintings, and sculptures, the show examines how these works reveal his professional relationships with art dealers and printers and his personal relationships with romantic partners, friends, and children. Because the show spans Picasso’s 70-year career, it also provides insight into the many styles Picasso practiced, from his early Blue Period to the works made during his last two decades. Here we take a closer look at some of these major artistic styles and approaches.”

Pablo Picasso “Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler”

DAILY ART FIX: Happy Birthday Thomas Gainsborough (May 14, 1727)

Art world links which caught my eye…

Thomas Gainsborough “Wooded Landscape with Old Peasant and Donkeys outside a Barn, Ploughshare and Distant Church”

Thomas Gainsborough (May 14, 1727–August 2, 1788) was one of the most signifigant English painters of the 18th century.


“Soon exhausting the circle of potential patrons in Sudbury, Gainsborough moved with his wife and two daughters, Mary (1750–1826) and Margaret (1752–1820), to Ipswich in 1752. Although his skill as a portrait painter improved considerably during this period, it was not until the family took up residence in Bath in 1759 that Gainsborough began attracting more cosmopolitan and aristocratic clientele. Despite portraiture remaining more lucrative, Gainsborough continued to paint landscapes, often fusing the two genres within a single composition in innovative ways.
“By 1774 Gainsborough had moved to London, probably inspired by the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768, of which he was a founding member.
“In London Gainsborough resided in the west wing of Schomberg House on Pall Mall, holding regular exhibitions at his studio….Gainsborough continued to enjoy considerable success in his later career, becoming a favourite painter of King George III and his family. When he died in 1788 at the age of 61, Thomas Gainsborough was widely considered to be one of the greatest artists of his era. He is buried in Kew Churchyard, London, alongside his wife Margaret.”

Thomas Gainsborough “Peter Darnell Muilman, Charles Crokatt and William Keable in a Landscape”

DAILY ART FIX: Giant Antisemitic Sculpture Removed from Burning Man Art Installation

Art world links that caught my eye…

From the River to the Sea,” Proposed Burning Man Installation

Burning Man is a celebration of Postmodern neo-pagen decadence, but one genocidal “artwork” was too much for even them. The title was a slogan calling for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. The watermelon was supposed to symbolize the colors for the flag of the non-existent country of Palestine.

“The 8-foot-by-14-foot fiberglass watermelon has the genocidal title ‘From the River to the Sea’ and was previously listed on the event’s website as part of the installation, but organizers suggest it was only submitted to cause a ‘stir’ and ‘likely won’t be part of the annual festival.’

“A petition signed by more than 1,100 people demanded its removal…”
