I’ve been falling behind in reviewing, commenting, and posting all of the amazing artwork that Katherine(@fiametta137) keeps collecting and storing for me to post about.  I’ve done a huge diservice to both her, and you the readers by not writing about these artists sooner.  Today we’re going to take a look at Louis Roskosh and [...]

Sol LeWitt is easily one of the most well known artists of the modern century known for his artistic drawings and sculptures that reflected the ideas of conceptual art and minimalism.  I took particular interest in this artist because of his hometown being one that I have visited regularly; Hartford, Connecticut.  His works are currently being [...]
