Julian Schnabel (mixed media)


Julian Schnabel - (born October 26, 1951) is an American painter and filmmaker. In the 1980s.

Schnabel received international media attention for his "plate paintings"—large-scale paintings set on broken ceramic plates.

The thing I don't get with these artists is how do they get the objects to actually stick :( I've found it so frustrating. I learned that he participated at the Venice Biennale in 1980 with Anselm Kiefer and George Baselitz. Which this style of work makes a link and sense of style for me. I love Kiefer's work also.






  Humanity Asleep

  Humanity Asleep  -  drew inspiration from William Blake.



 He uses diverse materials such as plaster, wax, photographs, antlers, velvet and ceramics. His paintings make use of canvas, wood, muslin and even surfboards. His paintings often combine abstract and figurative elements. Due to the size, weight and depth of his works, they are often given sculptural properties.
