Join the good guys in the culture war!

Support and encourage the figurative artists in your orbit. If you have clout, then join a contemporary museum board. If you are in the fine arts, then start curating exhibitions in university galleries, cultural centers, and museums. If you are an art historian or art critic, then write about what great living figurative artists are doing now! If you are an activist, then offer to help figurative artists with their PR, social media, and arranging art talks and interviews. If you are psychologically wicked, enjoy research, and detective work, then expose the trustees of contemporary and postmodern art museum boards.

Signed. Newberry, The Seventh Day, 2023, oil on canvas, 64x48”. Thanks to the model @kali_kryst_000 and @tomiversum for the photo reference of the California Nebula. 🙏 All blocked in! Seventh Day, wip, oil on canvas, 64x48”. Just a little cleaning up then I’m done. The transparent shadows have three very important aesthetic values: the transparency integrates him into his surrounding; 100% transparent shadows are a magical foil to the light and anatomical detail, [in real life shadows have a transparent element to them, if there is a high contrasted background, for the form to hold its shape and spatial integrity the shadows make the adjustments to make the optics work. Definitely a lie that shows us the truth.] The third element is the metaphor that he is transparent. Extraordinarily important rebuff for all the powerful stupidass covert intelligence agencies, evil as hell. Much thanks to the model @mindpsyche_creations and the reference of the California Nebula @tomiversum . A good day painting. “Seventh Day”, wip, oil on canvas, 64x48”. Work in progress. Seventh Day, oil on canvas, 64x48”. @kali_kryst_000 @tomiversum Starting to blockout his face and arms. 7th Day, wip, oil on canvas, 64x48”. There is a lot of light on his skin, and I wasn’t sure if the tones and hues would make him appear black, which he is. It works for me and color harmonies are uniquely fascinating. This stage couldn’t have started better. Nebula reference @tomiversum , model @kali_kryst_000 Stars all blocked in, now I get to paint his body. Seventh Day, wip, oil on canvas, 64x48”. @tomiversum @kali_kryst_000 Now starting stars. The white dots of canvas in the upper left were just place holders for stars, and will be detailed. Guessing a couple hundred. After they are in then I’ll start on the realism of his body. California Nebula reference image @tomiversum (follow him to see magnificent astronomical images). And @kali_kryst_000 for posing. The background is blocked in on 7th Day. Oil on canvas, 64x48”. Now a few more passes and star details then I can do the figure. Progress. 😀 7th Day, oil on canvas, 64x48”.
