Wo ich erschaffe

Unordentliche Tische sind willkommen. Wir haben deine Kunst gesehen — jetzt zeig uns, wo die Wurst gemacht wird. Der mit Farbe befleckte Küchentisch. Die Bearbeitungskabine mit drei Bildschirmen und keinem Sonnenlicht. Die Ecke deines Schlafzimmers, wo Meisterwerke zwischen Wäschebergen entstehen. Studios, Schränke, Garagen, Balkone — wenn du dort schaffst, wollen wir es sehen. Kein Setup ist zu klein, zu unordentlich oder zu seltsam. Poste ein Foto oder eine Diashow deines kreativen Raums. Lass den Austausch dort fließen.

What Did These Famous Artists' Studios Actually Look Like?

Beitragsbild 1

Peek inside the workspaces where masterpieces were born.

From Basquiat's paint-splattered Lower East Side loft to Matisse painting from his bed when he could barely move — these studios tell you more about the artist than any museum placard ever could.

The lineup: Frida Kahlo's studio (reportedly always smelled like Fabuloso), Matisse working from bed in his final years, Picasso surrounded by chaos, Dalí being Dalí, Basquiat in his iconic NYC loft, Francis Bacon's legendarily messy setup, and Giacometti — somehow sculpting in a full suit and tie.

What strikes you looking at these spaces is how different they all are. Some are meticulous. Some look like a paint factory exploded. Bacon's studio was so chaotic that when they preserved it after his death, they catalogued over 7,000 items crammed into a tiny room.

And yet every single one of these spaces produced work that changed art history.

There's no "right" way for a studio to look. The only thing that matters is that it works for you.

My studio today. It's ever-moving!

Yes, I finally have a lovely, pretty, organized studio in a spare room, but I'm forever moving outside...to the patio, the side of the house, the front yard, the park the mountains, a stream, and even to a TV tray after dinner to be by my husband when he unwinds after work with a TV movie. This is my studio at this precise moment, where I'm starting a new painting for a show in May. (Yes, my husband is still building the water feature in the background.) :)

Storage space

Storage space and organization is always a challenge. My digital reference material is over 8 GB, and then all other files, High-res art files for printing, low-res art files for web, social media files to name a few. I have several external hard drives as to not bog down the hard drive on my PC. I even have secure cloud storage for my unedited hig res artfiles. Even with this it is sometimes hard to find what I am looking for. Ps. I am not a high-tech person although I frequently have to help my husband with online stuff, he doesn't even know how to share a file to his FB account.

Where I create

Chris working on a rough drawing for a client amongst all his mess around his table. This is inside his Wildprints Gallery/Studio in Hay where he sits each day to draw. I took this photo of him at work this morning. Amazing the detail he does amongst all of this. Chris draws a rough so he can work out how the montage will work when he comes to the real drawing. This can take 300 hours

I have had this studio for 12 years now. Before that I had a corner in a room wherever I lived. There have been times when I did not even have a table but used the floor for doing my art. If there is a will there is a way, right? This is a converted garage, and it even has built in shelves. My deep IKEA shelf has been my best piece of studio furniture.

My Little FL studio corner

I have a second bedroom but the light is dismal so I paint in the dining room with a nice view of the Intracoastal boat traffic. I love my daylight lamp which lets me work after I’ve lost natural light. Storage is my biggest issue.

The Maker

Every photograph begins in the field, standing in real light along the Texas Gulf Coast and beyond.

But the work does not end there

Each image is edited carefully, prepared as a fine-art print, and for my limited editions the frame itself is handcrafted in the 683 workshop.

From shoreline to workshop to your wall.
