Jul 23rd, 2011Since I can remember, I've loved drawing and painting. I'm constantly working to improve my paintings and experimenting with various styles. I've studied at Angel Academy of Art in Florence for 3 years. Now I work full-time as a freelance illustrator. You can also follow me on Facebook =) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kristina-Gehrmann-Illustration/217959828256642 Or see my sketchbook on Conceptart.org - http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=114866&page=17
Oct 15th, 2007Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment. The single most common tactic that Lowbrow artists employ is to poke fun at convention. They know the "rules" of art, and consciously choose not to abide by them. If the test of time for legitimacy (as an artistic movement) means that Lowbrow speaks/spoke, in visual terms, to the millions of us who share a common cultural, symbolic language - albeit a "lower" or "middle" class, media-driven language - then, yes, Lowbrow is here to stay. Anthropologists will probably study Lowbrow in the future, to attempt to figure out late 20th and early 21st century U.S. societal influences.
