After several millions of years crawling out of the water and onto dry land, multimedia gonzo artist Hunter Payne will take humanity back into the ocean as he dives off the deep end for his next art exhibit, Let’s Draw Underwater. “If it doesn’t seem like it’s possible, that’s the project I need to do,” Payne says. “That’s where life’s fun. The ideas that scare me, the ones that I know will most likely be a failure, those are the ones I want to put my energy towards. Drawing underwater? Florida Keys? That’s an idea, man.” To raise the funds for Mylar paper, art supplies that work in saltwater, an underwater video camera, and boat transportation to the dive sites, 21-year-old Payne took the 21st century approach and made an intriguing and different plea on kickstarter.com. Let’s Draw Underwater will feature hundreds of drawings created entirely underwater, accompanied by a documentary of his adventures in the Florida Keys.
Ernst Haas (1921-1986) was one of the most important and influential artists in the development of color photography. Haas was famed for his commercial work. It is undoubtedly however his other, private work that really illuminates the power of his sensibility and his true mastery. Unfortunately this side of his creative output has been kept private and thus escaped posthumous appreciation. It is only now that this body of work is finally revealed and justly let’s this artist’s aptitude shine. “Here is a free spirit, untrammeled by tradition and theory, who has gone out and found beauty unparalleled in photography,” Edward Steichen.
