Note: The title of this post is a reference to the original Dead or Alive song, not more recent versions featuring people who are possibly young enough to be my children. Children of the 80s unite!
I love art of all shapes and sizes. Large scale, small, square, rectangle, ROUND. Artists who take on the circular composition get extra kudos. Check out some examples I’m loving this week!
Jill Ricci | Steve Williams | Ben Hughes | Nicholas Bodde
Any other orb-obsessed artists I should know about? Tell me about ’em in the comments!

May 12, 2012 at 1:04 PMand you know for me…while i respect the circular canvas, for some strange reason it aggravates me! i don’t mind strange shapes but prefer that it’s kept geometric with lines (triangles, rectangles etc)

May 12, 2012 at 1:39 PMInteresting.. I applaud any artist who takes on the challenge of painting on a round surface! I think it makes it that much more difficult to complete a successful composition. But to each her own, my friend! 😉
