It’s ALIVE!

I am still in a fog from ending this crazy school year, I don’t think I realized just how much creative energy got invested in the classroom this year. I have to admit, stepping back into my dusty studio was intimidating…

but then this thing started crawling out of it’s cave… The magic is still here, it was just waiting for me!

A very very full week, greatful my wife put her foot down and sent me to the studio for a few minutes to move some pastel and do a study from a wax golem... Just to keep the studio warm and ready for when i return. #sketch #figuresketch #drawing #artistmodel #golem #figuredrawing #anatomydrawing #creativelife #drawanyway #backmuscles #ecorche #pastelsketch

And a color sketch to go with that video. Looking for a lovely foggy morning...

New large piece on the way. My kids and I made this dragon a year ago, and he has been waiting until now to step into a painting. Underpainting is done, now onto the color block in. This is going to be fun! #paintingprocess #panting #oilpainting #papertoy #dragon #chinesedragon #papersculpture #artistmodel #magicrealism #artist #creativeprocess #art #underpainting

Fresh off the easel! A tempest painting inspired by the haiku poet Basho:

Lighting!
Into the darkness tears
The Night Heron's voice

Progress! I am loving the pealing crack happening on the back of his neck!! I hope the rest of him cracks that good!

Somewhere underneath that musculature is a clay skeleton. I did so much wrong on purpose with this piece. I'm hoping this a ecorche golem will crumble in a really amazing way! #ecorche #anatomy #anatomysculpture #sculpture #claysculpture #skeleton #golem #figurativeart #classicalnude #nudesculpture #creativeprocess #artistmodel #artist #figurativesculpture #humanfigure

HANGING PAPER MAN AT DAWN is the piece that lives

HANGING PAPER MAN AT DAWN is the piece that lives in my studio. I have tried putting him in storage a couple of times when I am making space for new work on the studio wall. But the image haunts my psyche, and he is out again, mentoring every new work.

Conceptually and aesthetically he embodies the central melody of my creative endeavor here on this footprint of land. A psychic contraposto of rest and effort, frustration and determination, vulnerability and strength. A thing imagined striving to touch a thing solid and real. Jacob is wrestling with the divine on a much larger scale.

And a new sun's light cascades across the whole.

Some better shots of yesterday's s ecorche sculpture. I am digging how it is cracking! Next I add the flesh! #ecorche #anatomy #anatomysculpture #sculpture #claysculpture #skeleton #golem #creativeprocess #artistmodel #artist #figurativesculpture #humanfigure

New Golem. I am intentionally working it as an ecorche in layers so it will crack and crumble around a tree-ish core. I hope the poetry works when the sun has finished with it #ecorche #anatomy #anatomysculpture #sculpture #claysculpture #skeleton #golem #creativeprocess #artistmodel #artist #figurativesculpture #humanfigure

Happy Easter all! And for those who don't celebrate this holiday, I wish you the hope of a spring season after a too-long year of winter. Years ago I did a 40 day drawing and poetry meditation called FOURTY NIGHTS TILL SPRING. Today I wanted to share selections from the last week. #easter #resurrection #resurrectionsunday #jesus #newcreation #spring #garden #mystic #christianmysticism #sketchbook #figuredrawing #poetry #visualblog

PAPER BOY was a real game milestone piece for me.

PAPER BOY was a real game milestone piece for me. It was my first glimpse into a process that was as playful as it was profound. And I finally understood the atmosphere and light of the little footprint I live on.

He was in every way a Michaelangelesque Angel bringing news of a new era for my studio life.

THE SECOND CHAPTER OF EDEN. This is the one! Sums

THE SECOND CHAPTER OF EDEN. This is the one! Sums up my whole practice, my relationship to the land, the anthropocene, human ingenuity, all wrapped up in the glorious myth of the golem. I consider it my 1st Symphony. A complex harmony of concepts and color....

I am going to start reciting my pay works, ruminating on their significance as I prepare for a coming 3rd Chapter of my practice.

guy kinnear makes Neapolitan Baroque miracles of artifice, hanging on the cliff’s edge of the enlightenment. Synthetic creatures trying clumsily to reconnect to Heaven and Earth, imbibing in the saccharine and sentimental along the way.

ARTIST BIO

guy kinnear is a collaborative figurative artist and synthetic human learning to live off-the-grid in a lovely place where even GPS gets lost.
