Messy desks welcome. We've seen your art — now show us where the sausage gets made. The paint-stained kitchen table. The editing cave with three monitors and no sunlight. The corner of your bedroom where masterpieces happen between laundry piles. Studios, closets, garages, balconies — if you create there, we want to see it. No setup is too small, too messy, or too weird. Post a photo or a carousel of your creative space. Let the banter flow from there.
I snapped these shots while at a cool photography exhibit at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth Texas. The exhibit, which is ongoing for several months, is on loan from France. I thought we might enjoy a view of an artist's studio from the past.
my studio- well studio may be a stretch, the corner of my office where I paint.
This is where the imagination runs wild, ideas take form and legacies are born. :-)
I paint in the piano room right off the living room in our 1908 era house
I’m sitting at the small table in my wheelchair tiny desk in front of window on 16th floor of apartment building…
Only the Sky is above…
Right in the midst of a war that has been dragging on for five years now(((
I often hear and even SEE drones flying over and FALLING onto my hometown.
But I believe: the sun of truth (and Victory!) will rise over all of my Motherland Ukraine!..
«But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.»
Malachi 4:2 KJV
I'm feeling sheepish about this, but I'm in the process of shifting work around to find things for an exhibit in November. Now I've got a big mess. Perhaps posting this will help me be accountable?
It's a humble mess, but this is where I paint and teach.
Here's my space in a description: yes, I've mistaken my muddied watercolor brush water for my coffee mug. Not yum. And yes, I tidied up some after that!
My studio is the “piano room” right off the living room in our 1908 house.
I definitely have the most unorganized painting areas. My community is under a milestone assessment and everything had to be moved. Even though my art is in every room of my place, I know exactly where each and everything is. That is an accomplishment on its own. Now that i figured out my chaos, I can start to paint again. At least I'm totally organized in my work.
I have a small space where getting lost in creation expands the room.
I know that some of you have been jealous of my flat files setup. This morning I decided to tackle the task of organizing and moving two of my drawers for easier access when I have my car in the garage. See what you think of this--I asked Chat GPT to give me ideas for the best way to organize my source materials for my collages The stencil drawer is now at the top and the folders with the sorted collage materials is now in drawer two.
A or B: is this chicken A, silly, or B, an artist?
Who on earth would come up with something like that?
Seriously... You just have to turn it around for a moment... will the eggs be colorful?
PS: greetings from my garden studio
I work in 2 spaces this is chaos ! and my other space even smaller chaos 2. I don't need enormous amounts of room but still it gets cluttered.
I am incredibly lucky to have so much space - images are a left to right panorama of most of the space - there is another messy wall behind me as well!
