As well as his fabled Tate Modern sun, the ever-modest Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson has made waterfalls in New York and rivers run green all over the world. But what’s he up to in Manchester with Wayne McGregor and Jamie xx?

I just had a Renaissance moment, a real eureka moment. My friend Matt and others will say "jeez, he is only realizing that now?" I am not a trained professional engineer or builder, but I have some experience. All my arches and vaults are semicircular or catenary curves. Vaults I build without centring, and but arches over openings with centring, as i need a wall to "glue" the bricks. Like the first arch below. So here it is IF I USE POINTED ARCHES (middle type) IT WILL MEAN THE LAST BRICKS WILL BE MORE VERTICAL INSTEAD OF HORIZONTAL! Pointed arches are like the second arch above and this one below. Duh. I see it all the time in pictures but it just dawned on me now that it will make some vaults easier, as the curve stays more vertical, hence less gravity pulling it down before the arch is closed! Jeez Matt why didnt you yell at me? Your latest WTO has pointed in it! I see some issues as they will require greater height in arches over doors. So my groined vaulted rooms will look like this maybe. Which means I should be able to go horizontal course much higher "The main advantage of the pointed arch was that it concentrated the thrust of the vault on a narrow vertical line that could be supported by the flying buttresses, a major feature of Islamic architecture and also European Gothic architecture. The pointed arch enables the reduction of the lateral thrust on foundations. It enabled architects to lighten the walls and buttresses which had to be massive to support earlier semicircular arches(endnote 2). Additionally, it resolved the difficulty of achieving level crowns in the arches of the vault allowing the vault to become suitable for any ground plan." The Arch that never sleeps (Publication) by: FSTC Limited I mean look how steep that is! Is this the new look on my buildings?

Francisco Zuniga Untitled, Plate 9 Suite: Impressions of Egypt 1982 Original lithograph in colors on Arches paper From the limited edition of 90 Mourlot, Paris Size: 14" x 19 1/2" Hand signed by the artist in pencil José Jesús Francisco Zúñiga Chavarría (December 26, 1912 – August 9, 1998) was a Costa Rican-born Mexican artist, known both for his painting and his sculpture. Journalist Fernando González Gortázar lists Zúñiga as one of the 100 most notable Mexicans of the 20th century, while the Encyclopædia Britannica calls him "perhaps the best sculptor" of the Mexican political modern style. Francisco Zuniga Untitled 1982, Plate 6 Suite: Impressions of Egypt Original lithograph in colors on Arches paper From the limited edition of 90 Mourlot, Paris Size: 14" x 19 1/2" Hand signed by the artist in pencil Zúñiga was born in Costa Rica on December 27, 1912. His father worked as a sculptor of religious figures, and in stone work. His artistic inclinations began early and by the age of twelve had already read books on the history of art, artistic anatomy and the life of various Renaissance painters. In 1926 he enrolled in the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Mexico, but left the following year to continue on his own. As part of his self-study, he studied German Expressionism and the writings of Alexander Heilmayer, through which he learned of the work of Aristide Maillol and Auguste Rodin, coming to appreciate the idea of subordinating technique to expression Francisco Zuniga Untitled 1982, Plate 5 Suite: Impressions of Egypt Original lithograph in colors on Arches paper From the limited edition of 90 Mourlot, Paris Size: 14" x 19 1/2" Hand signed by the artist in pencil Zúñiga’s painting and sculpting work began receiving recognition in 1929. His first stone sculpture won second prize at the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes. In the following two years he continued to win top prizes at this event. This work made critics recommend him for study abroad. He won first prize in a 1935 Latin American sculpture competition, the Salón de Escultura en Costa Rica, for his stone sculpture La maternidad, but the work caused controversy and the government rescinded its award. In the 1930s, he began to research pre Hispanic art and its importance to contemporary Latin American art, as well as what was happening artistically in Mexico.

The earnings from this endeavor earned his passage to Mexico City. In 1936 he immigrated to Mexico permanently. Francisco Zuniga Untitled 1982, Plate 1 Suite: Impressions of Egypt Original lithograph in colors on Arches paper From the limited edition of 90 Mourlot, Paris Size: 14" x 19 1/2" Hand signed by the artist in pencil In Mexico, he did some formal study at La Escuela de Talla Directa. In 1937 he worked as an assistant to Oliverio Martínez on the Monumento a la Revolución. In 1938, he took a faculty position at La Esmeralda; where he remained until retiring in 1970. In 1958 he was awarded the first prize in sculpture from the Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts. Francisco Zuniga Untitled 1982, Plate 3 Suite: Impressions of Egypt Original lithograph in colors on Arches paper From the limited edition of 90 Mourlot, Paris Size: 14" x 19 1/2" Hand signed by the artist in pencil In the 1940s, the New York Museum of Modern Art acquired the sculpture Cabeza de niño totonaca and the Metropolitan Museum of Art requested two of his drawings. In 1947, he married Elena Laborde, a painting student. Francisco Zuniga Untitled 1982, Plate 8 Suite: Impressions of Egypt Original lithograph in colors on Arches paper From the limited edition of 90 Mourlot, Paris Size: 14" x 19 1/2" Hand signed by the artist in pencil In 1971, he received the Acquisition Prize at the 1971 Biennial of Open Air Sculpture of Middelheim in Antwerp, Belgium. In 1975 twenty of his drawings obtained the silver medal at the International Book Exposition of Leipzig. Francisco Zuniga Untitled 1982, Plate 4 Suite: Impressions of Egypt Original lithograph in colors on Arches paper From the limited edition of 90 Mourlot, Paris Size: 14" x 19 1/2" Hand signed by the artist in pencil In the 1980s, he was named an Academic of the Accademia delle Arte e del Lavoro in Parma, Italy. In Mexico he won the Elías Sourasky Prize. Francisco Zuniga Untitled 1982, Plate 2 Suite: Impressions of Egypt Original lithograph in colors on Arches paper From the limited edition of 90 Mourlot, Paris Size: 14" x 19 1/2" Hand signed by the artist in pencil He became a Mexican citizen in 1986, fifty years after his arrival in the country. Near the end of his life, illness left him nearly blind, which caused him to shift his artistic work to terra cotta, using his hands to create the lines.

This is the best hike in Moab, Utah! And what's even better is that there is no entrance fees like the national parks have!

Ink on Arches paper 300g Edition: Unique. Unframed. This artwork is exclusive to IdeelArt. The works of San Francisco Bay Area-based abstract painter Irene Nelson are layered and atmospheric, offering dreamlike impressions of worlds seemingly in the process of becoming. Nelson’s lyrical, gestural marks feel organic and free, while her biomorphic forms and muted color relationships contribute to the sense that these are visions inspired by the subconscious. Whether painting, drawing or working with monotypes, Nelson’s process is guided by a mix of intuition and experimentation. She considers her process a give and take between conscious decision-making and spontaneity. She allows each preceding mark or layer to inform the next, so her compositions evolve as “acts of discovery” rather than planned. Nelson also experiments with the medium of photography, which she employs to search out ephemeral, passing glimpses of daily life. Her work is held in numerous private collections and has been exhibited extensively throughout California, including recent exhibitions at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco and Kala Art Institute, Berkeley. less
