A Bit of Aviation Modern Art

VERY nice – and unique.
I concur, refreshing.

I agree with these two comments. Most on here are aviation fans therefore, just like to see a picture. To many artists they can be boring. In reality art is about expanding the horizons not sticking to the same formula. I’m not too keen on modern art myself but these are not really ‘Modern’. There’s some good stuff, artistically, in the Red Arrows section and whats wrong with the Lightning?

Best Wishes.

See what you think, it makes a refreshing change from conventional aircraft artwork..

GAVA do have a contempary art section – something which they are trying to promote called ‘Adventures in Aviation Art’. http://www.gava.org.uk/index.cfm?page=advenopener

Personally theres nothing better than a fine portrait of a classic aircraft against a dramatic background, painted in oils….

Modern Art> PAH!

🙂 I cant be certain BUT it looks like the painting that won the Guild of Aviation Artists exhibition a couple of years ago,if it’s not my apologies as it was a Victor in the clouds.
😀 Yes it is the one http://www.gava.org.uk/index.cfm?page=awards2007

Came across this one today, which I was very impressed with.

🙂 As with all art it is very much down to the individual.You can’t compare him to the normal type of paintings associated with aviation i e the Robert Taylors,Gerald Coulson etc,this is something quite different.
Some of them are great and some are different 🙂
I just wish i had a tenth of his imagination and talent,it’s one thing to look and criticise but have a go and see how hard it is just t get the ideas,let alone putting the ideas down on canvas -paper etc for others to see. 🙂
Well done him.

Different, but rather too modern for this old fogey.
