Realist

I discovered artist John Baldessari a few weeks ago when having a stumble through Tumblr. I was really fascinated by his work. An exceptional talent, John is 83 years old at present and living in America.  I was really intrigued by his artwork. It's extremely simple and clean. However I suppose when I initially saw his pieces I was interested in the affect removing the faces creates for a viewer. To a large extent it is what you might consider dehumanizing. His work is undoubtedly thought provoking to say the least which is why I decided to share it. 

Summer is almost here, I can taste it.  I've been completely swamped with college work and am still powering through, so I've definitely been a little neglectful recently.  However, this is an amazing tune which I've discovered. Good vibes anyone? Also this video is awesome. This is Snakehips with Forever Pt. 2

Yet another wonderful discovery on Spotify, which is why Spotify is really growing on me as it suggests music you will love. That aside, I found Josef Salavat the other day when listening to music.  If I had to attempt to describe him, I would say perhaps a happy version of James Blake. Unfortunately he hasn't gotten much out at the minute but I'm most definitely looking forward to hearing more of his music and anticipate him being featured on a lot of soundtracks for some reason.  I'm going to share two videos because I really love both of these songs. The first being 'Hustler' which is a serious enough melody with wonderful beats supporting it.  The second is 'Open Season' a much more upbeat one. Maybe I have heard this already on a soundtrack? It's a song that gets me excited for summer for some reason. This video is a lovely black and white live video.
