Artists Underground culture
Mark Boyle is a Scottish media artist from the British underground.
Since 1985 he and his wife Joan Hills and their children Sebastian and Georgia formed a collaborative art group called The Boyle Family. The Boyle family experimented with different techniques and styles. This included performances and events, films and projections, sound recordings, photography, electronic micro-photography, drawing, assemblage, painting, sculpture and installation.
However, their most famous long-term project remains Journey to the Earth's Surface, which they began in 1964 and which is a continuum of strange and interesting works. These paintings-very precise drawn casts, something in between painting and sculpture-are careful recreations of randomly selected sections of the earth's surface using resin and fiberglass, as well as real materials collected from the site under investigation.
Arthur Garfield Dove was an American artist. An early American modernist, he is often considered the first American abstract painter. Dove used a wide range of media, sometimes in unconventional combinations, to produce his abstractions and his abstract landscapes. Me and the Moon from 1937 is a good example of an Arthur Dove abstract landscape and has been referred to as one of the culminating works of his career. Dove did a series of experimental collage works in the 1920s. He also experimented with techniques, combining paints like hand mixed oil or tempera over a wax emulsion as exemplified in Dove's 1938 painting Tanks, in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
Michael Fischer-Art, an artist born in Leipzig, takes a socially critical approach to the environment in his art and assigns his work to “market realism”. His pictures are colorful attacks on intellectualism and profundity, while his sculptures are eye-catching eye-catchers that beautify many places in Germany. He also creates pop art-style portraits of celebrities and maintains contacts with representatives from politics, business and show business.
Boris Nikolaevich Koshelokhov, known in artistic St. Petersburg under the nickname Bob, was a Soviet and Russian avant-garde artist.
Boris Koshelokhov was the organiser of a group of non-conformist artists called "Letopis", which represented an extremely heterogeneous spectrum of directions: from extreme expressionism to primitivism.
Erik Parker is a New York-based artist, is known for cartoonish compositions that riff on the traditional genres of portraiture and still-life. His paintings draw inspiration from American subculture — psychedelia, underground comic books, music genres as well as historic modern painters.
