The Whistler Gallery
The Whistler Gallery
Hello, all!
You have probably noticed that you haven't noticed me in a while.
I have been organizing my online gallery, which is now open. The url for the gallery is here:
www.zibbet.com
The url for my personal gallery within the gallery is here:
www.zibbet.com/vanfuller
I had to use my real name because it seems there was another artist named Whistler. Who knew?
Anyway, almost everything in my gallery (105 pieces, at this writing) was created over the past year. This is what bipolar disorder can do for you, if you use it for good instead of evil. New items will be added regularly.
Do drop by, and present your invitation at the door.

Picky I iz! And I still have the probably-unfounded bias against that looks "too" digital. But there's lots of gorgeous stuff there. I'm particularly drawn to some of the more abstract ones (as is often the case).
Question: Since these are digital, why are there sizes listed? Can't it be printed in any size the resolution supports?

Whistler, I've been taking my time going through the gallery, pausing to appreciate each work of art. What a wonderful collection! The descriptions are witty, informative and apt -- the best I've ever read of artwork and worth display themselves.
I started listing favorites, in case I suddenly found myself with bare walls and spare money, but finally realized I'd have to build a new wing for my house just for the walls. What I listed before reaching this conclusion: Uptown after Hours, Rite of Spring, Pixie Quilt and Aegean Nocturn. And of course I am still entranced with Lux Aeterna.

Very beautiful, Whistler. I'm intrigued that the nudes range from very realistic to very abstract. I like both extremes, and those in between. I like the Velvet Ostrich, even though it is quite a disturbing image.
And so many other ones (not just the nudes!).

Whistler, very impressive paintings in that gallery. I've always said that the best abstract art comes from artists who can actually produce realistic drawings when they want to.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

You find the ostrich lady disturbing? That wasn't my intention, but I'm pleased that people read the pictures differently. Good art should inspire discussion and debate.
Frelga:
Contrary to popular opinion, good abstracts are difficult to create and, like more traditional styles, have their roots in physical reality. People are always stunned to find, for example, that Picasso could produce near-photorealism when he had to.
Many thanks for looking in. I have always valued your insights.
Yov:
Don't be intimidated. The site is easy to manage and you have nothing to lose.
Male nudes are always more controversial for obvious anatomical reasons, but if they are tasteful they should be welcome.
I have a few male nudes, but they don't interest me. The male form is more sculptural in nature; the female form is more linear, and that's more suited to my style since I'm mainly a cartoonist.
Anyway, go ahead and give it a try. It's free, for heaven's sake!
