Paint like Alberto Burri art - Italian Modern art - Cardboard collage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 кві 2020
- The Alberto Burri art needs some more work to appreciate. Alberto Burri sacchi art sometimes looks like an unfinished painting. But when you get to know him, you will understand his way of working and get to appreciate the Italian modern art. In this video I will paint like Alberto Burri and wil show examples of some of his series of artworks. I will make cardboard collage or a collage painting with waste material but also will work with plastics and make paintings with acrylics to explain how I look at his art. Painting with different materials is fun to do, just trying out ways of working other than your usual. It all helps to explore your creativity.

I'm an ardent follower of yours. The demos are very inspirational, thank you. Please keep up the good work. When I saw you start to set fire to the plastic, alarm bells rang for me. I was a chemical safety officer, many years ago. I know that you said, "Don't try this at home" but people are people, some will do just that. My worry about it is, that burning plastic gives of toxic fumes. You don't want to be breathing them in more than you can help. Anyone deciding to use this technique on a regular basis, will be getting a build up of hazardous chemicals in their body. I recommend doing the technique outside.
Hi Gordon, thanks. I was wondering who would comment first about the burning plastic indoors, you won. Seriously, you have a point, I apologize but is was windy outside and it didn't work there. I always hope people are sensible, but at the moment i see otherwise, people not staying at home and so on.
Back to the artist, he gives lots of ways to make incredible interesting art. Hope you have fun making yours. Stay safe, Albert
Hi Ig, I totally agree on your comment on burning plastics. It was not a wise decision on my part to put it like this in the video. Sorry to hear about your health problems.
But when we go back to Burri, I love the way he used odd materials. Albert
I was very fortunate that a few years after I moved to NYC, the guggenheim displayed a massive Burri collection....to die for!
Oh, George, I envy you. Thanks for dropping by and sharing your story. Albert
Very fun and sensitive artworks of found stuff using stitching, collaging techniques
🎶🧡🎵🖤
Thanks, Lis, I see it as opening up to art and beauty in anything, to broaden your horizon. Albert
I love how you look at the things on your ride to work, to see art potential everywhere. And that "beautifully tortured" cardboard is beautiful.
Hi Rachael, thanks, art or beauty can be seen in almost anything. I can really recommend opening your eyes for it. Albert
I love this! I think the next artist you do should be YOU!!!!🎉
Haha, LOL, thanks, Deb. I guess they are more in disguise because I don't tell they are. Albert
We can see beauty in almost anything, how lucky we are.
Hi Alison, thanks, true words. The world is a magical place. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings I just started watching your videos. Do you have any where you cover any q&a about your own art style or somewhere we can see your own artwork?
Hi Alison, thanks for asking. But not yet. Sometimes I show my older artwork, but my art at the moment is creating these videos. I do have plans for a q&a video somewhere in January. Albert
A question about the Q&A video, what type of questions and answers are you looking for? Do you have an example of a Yt-channel that has q&a videos you like? I'm looking for ideas so any suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advance, Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings I have not really seen many by artists but there are a lot of q&a videos of other types of influencers such as makeup artists and life coaches etc. As i am new here I can suggest that in your next video perhaps you can ask in the intro to your followers to post their questions in the comments, and you can pick the ones you will answer. If it is your first q&a i guess the basic of who influenced you, how you started the channel, how it changed your life, what is a day in your life like, who are your favs, and some simple personal questions like travel, food, hobbies, movies, things people wont guess, hidden talents, and also art related questions of course.
thank you for the education and inspiration
Hi Susan, thanks. Enjoy making your own version. Albert
Really drawn to Burri's work. Very similar to Japanese boro and sashiko stitching. Humble materials; thought provoking ... with "bruising"/damage. Love the way you replicate his work in an assessible manner. Btw, I am a new subscriber! Looking forward to viewing more of your videos.
Hi Michael, thanks. Burri made fabulous artwork. I wasn't familiar with sashiko stitching, thanks for sharing. I get the connection you make. Albert
That looks like fun
It sure is Olivia. Enjoy making your versions. Albert
This is just what I needed! Simple, interesting techniques to achieve abstract expression in my art. I have seen Alberto Burri's art in museums, and they are fascinating. Thank you for all the inspiration!
Hi Chris, thanks. It's wonderful to see how he approached art in a new way. Albert
Thanks for your introduction to another artist I had not heard of . I love your ability to open my mind. 🖼
Hi T J, thanks. Nice to hear and I wish you lots of fun doing your experiments. The one with the burning plastic is best done outdoors. Albert
I love it! Thank you, Albert!
Hi Franca, thanks, wonderful artist. It was a joy to make and show you. Bye, Albert
Merci

👍
Hi Michelle (Bonjour), thanks from the Netherlands. They are fun to make and all those artist are so interesting. Do you paint as well? I would love to hear. Albert
You are a true creative.
Thanks Lezlee, just practicing a lot and don't be afraid to fail. And ... have fun. Albert
Definitely WOW factor. Thanks!
Hi Maureen, thanks. Now it's your turn to paint your own WOW! Enjoy doing it. Stay safe, Albert
awesome. you inspire me. not bthe artists yoyu talk about -- you! thank you tak
Thanks A.X. enjoy playing with cardboard. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings Great! And next time
I chose to comment on your amazing page, I promise to use my glasses -- believe it or it, I can actually spell!
Looking forward to it 🤓, nice to meet you here. Albert
U r very inspiring! Can’t wait to explore!
Hi Bonnie, thanks. You can actually use anything, just open your eyes to it. Albert
These are great!
Hi Fergie, thanks. And it was so much fun to make it all. Try for yourself! The plastics only outdoors. Bye, Albert
Beautiful thank you 🙏❤️
Hi Jazzy, thanks. A great artist with interesting ideas and methods. Albert
Thank you Albert🙏🏻all your experiments turned out great👏🏻Nice to learn all the things and ways you introduce to us🤙🏻
Hi Maryam, thanks. The artist helped me by making marvelous artwork. But I also enjoyed playing around. Bye, Albert
Thanks so so much for this lesson on Alberto Burri (an artist whom I admire a lot) Albert. You masterfully introduced his work and engaged us on several levels of aspects and underlying thought process that governed his work. What a treat to wake up sipping coffee while watching your delivery on a sophisticated artist as Burri. Thanks again.
Hi Salim, thanks. And thanks again for pointing me to him. I forgot to mention you. Yes incredible artwork. Strange he isn't in the list of the usual suspects. Hope the video helps a bit. But his art is also challenging to like. We'll have to see. Have a great day, Albert
Thanks Albert. I loved the cardboard collage with its interesting colours and textures. Great video.
Hi Philna, thanks. It saw the cardboard at work and couldn't wait to make the collage. Great fun to do with those 'ugly' materials. Thanks for dropping by, stay safe, Albert
Great!
Thanks Stineke, Albert
Excellent! What an eye you have for seeing the beauty and interest in things that most people don’t give a second glance. I thought I was the only one who would stare at some weathered concrete and think, “how beautiful!” This is very inspirational and motivating. Unfortunately I don’t think dumpster diving is wise in the current situation but I look forward to better times. Thank you!
Hi Donna, thanks and welcome to the club of people loving concrete and other weathered surfaces. Art is so much more fun to look at when you can relate to it like this. Oh and dumpster diving doesn't have to be done literally, you can also save something just before someone else wants to throw it away 😉.
Happy painting and stay safe, Albert
A. Burri was a Medical Doctor and Surgeon during WWII: wounds, bandages, sutures and blood. You can easely tell this by looking at his artworks.
Thanks Angelo for sharing this to all here. Albert
Ill bet your wife aaid, " get that junk out of my livingroom!"
Just kidding. It actually looks sharp. You have a great eye for things. You have the ability that not everyone has, to see the beauty in the trash. I will have to shift my mind a little and keep an open mind. I am always thinking of mark making tools, everywhere I go. Thankbyou again
Thanks, Diana. Actually, you're quite right about the 'not in my livingroom'. Luckily we have another room I can use for my artmaking.
And indeed, it's about seeing. But unfortunately you only can see it once you 'get it'. There's no trash, only materials. Happy painting.
Thank you. Very enjoyable! Dank u wel!
Hi Peanut Gallery, thanks. I had a blast playing around with all these odd materials. Albert
Not a fan at first, but you won me over! ❤
Thanks, Julie. Just know you're very welcome here. Happy painting, Albert
Great :)))
Thanks Andrea, it's a wonderful artist. Albert
The cardboard is interesting. I really like the painting.
Hi Suus, thanks. Cardboard is such a nice material, also very common and cheap, I love it Albert
Thank you for such inspiring videos... I’ve always admired Alberto Burris work and enjoying your channel that I’ve just discovered. Thank you !
Hi Eduardo, thanks. Amazing the art that Burri made, so creative. It was a joy to make my versions. Do you paint as well? Albert
Imperfect Paintings Hi Albert, thanks for the reply. Yes I do paint a little . I am a self taught (Brazilian ) abstract painter who lived in NYC for 30 years and regret have never taking advantage of the many art School available in the city, now I live in Miami Beach and here art school and classes are very limited , so I am trying to paint on my own but this some times it is hard because it generates uncertainty, insecurity as far as art goes, but I keep going it is my joy de vivre :-) . Finding your videos last night was very inspiring and I will try some of your exercises if that is the correct term ... I was looking if you have any online course but didn’t see it , is there a online course you offer? If is not much of an imposition I would love to send some picture of my work for you to take a look .
This is so interesting
Thanks, Lexi. Just grab some cardboard. Have a good dsy, Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings thanks, I will, have a good day as well
THANK YOU
Thanks Federico
Another Great Episode Albert. Thank you for all your time and effort....
Hi Wilco, thanks. Indeed a lot of work, but limiting myself in this video was even more difficult. 😉 He really is an interesting artist, lots to talk about. Stay safe, Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings Thanks Albert...All the best..
Albert, again a briljant video and your art. I like it.
Hi J van Santen, thanks. Do you paint as well? Bye, Albert
Hi Albert, I will try this. I wasn't real familiar with Burri, but I believe I have seen some of his art somewhere. I love when artist use recycled materials, and I'm always looking for ways to include some of that from salvage, thrift stores, and so on. It is really beautiful over there from seeing it from your bike rides. Another artist that Burri reminds me of is Lucio Fontana, whom I like as well. I like the cardboard collage best, and also that circle painting. Be well.
Hi Culture Fan, thanks. Yes nice artworks he made. I'd love to see them in real life. Maybe someday when the museums open again. That would be a day... Salvage and thrift stores are wonderful. Fontana is on my list, I haven't enough for a video yet, but it will come. Enjoy making your versions of Burri! Bye, Albert
Albert, alweer bedankt voor het in elkaar zetten (niet alleen van het karton) van deze video! Je zou talent hebben om voor de TV te werken! Dat meen ik...….je hebt zoveel talent en originele ideeen!
Hallo Ellen, bedankt, fijn om te horen. TV is een beetje een oud medium aan het worden. Maar ik snap wat je bedoelt. Maar met UA-cam heb ik meteen de hele wereld ipv één zender. 😁 ik heb plezier, krijg fijn commentaar en maak veel mensen blij én ben eigen baas, heerlijk. Fijne avond, Albert
Lovely and inspiring! Another artist in many ways similar to Burri was the Spanish artist Tapies. Would you consider making a video on him? Or perhaps you have already? Thanks for your great channel!
Thanks, Barbara. And thanks for suggesting Antoni Tapies. I will look into his art. Albert
Wat een fijne uitleg over Burri. Ik kreeg hem op als inspirator. Heerlijk jouw Engels, beter te volgen dan de conservator die een rap verhaal houdt in het Engels :) Nu een transitie maken voor de oefening om er iets eigens voor te maken. Wat en prachtig karton had jij voor je werk, in feite was ie in één keer klaar :)
Hallo Rode Draad, bedankt. Ja, top Engels van mij, ach het werkt en daar gaat het om. Burri is echt fantastisch. Kijk gewoon wat voor 'rotzooi' je thuis hebt liggen xen doe daar iets mee. Al je plastic afval, takken in je tuin, een pak macaroni over de datum, de mogelijkheden zijn eindeloos. Veel plezier ermee. Albert
I found your video searching for the artists who use cardboard… and are well known. As I noticed recently a Mexican artist and Georgia O’Keefe have older works on cardboard. O’Keefe’s piece is pastel on paper on cardboard. It is a blue tone orchid.
My question regards1… acceptance in the greater artworks in terms of ‘value’. Is this ‘cheap’ to people? What do you think?
2. And archival consideration… paint on the cardboard… and still have to mount on say, a wood panel?
I persoanally find creating with found objects valid. Although may be very overdone at this point… without a unique approach.
I also years ago handstitched on paintings… and have several pieces right now with this.
Thank you. This is good and I appreciate learning about this artist and work.
Thanks, Janet. It's always interesting to have thoughts about art. What do you think? Is it important on what surface an artist (well known or unknown) makes his artwork? Acrylics can be quite cheap. Is an artist allowed to use it? Why do people pay great amounts of money for a scribble on a cigar box, being a quick note of that famous author of that best-selling novel? In my opinion, all these questions ignore the freedom to express by the artist. It is chatter, clutter, or a way to get into an argument. Who am I to judge on handstitching on a painting? The real questions for me are: Did you enjoy making it? What did you learn from making it in this way. Did you succeed in expressing what you wanted? The artistic process is the most important part to me. Not what others think. Hope this helps.
Enjoy your day, Albert
Burri sono un discepolo 👍
Good for you Piero, enjoy making your versions. Albert
Oh, my heart! I fell in love a piece of corrugated cardboard many years ago. I cut a goldfish out of a magazine. Used small plastic rings for bubbles. I don't remember what else I used. It until looking very oriental. I don't know what happened to it :(. I need to preserve my work somehow.
Do you have a suggestion how best to do this?
Also you inspired me to create with plastic circles!
Hi Renee, thanks for sharing your goldfish story. So relatable. My paintings are piling up too. Just keep them, find a way to store them somewhere. Or do it the Marie Kondo-way: take good pictures, keep them and find a new home for your art.
Have fun playing with the plastic rings. I would love to see what you make. Do you share your artwork somewhere online? Albert
I never got art Blick anymore.
If it happen to me then I visit this channel😁
Sure I will fine my problem solved.
Good to hear, Abdul. Thanks for sharing. Albert
Stop bij 14.01 minuten...beautifull
Thanks, fam de Jonge.
I love the cardboard collage with ripping and stitching and I think about painting on it also. You put the collage in a frame. If I saw it correctly, a shadow frame. How is the collage attached to this frame?
Thanks Anja, indeed a beautiful wrecked piece. I attach all paintings temporarily in a shadowbox frame (I have different sizes) to take pictures. I use pieces of masking turned into doubble sided tape (make a ring of it by gluing the ends together, glue on the outside) to keep it in the frame for a minute, take pictures and take it out again. Hope this helps. Albert
I'm loving that Ecoline Ink. The kind of effect that I've been looking for. Do you think it would work well on canvass?? Would it flow on canvas the same way?? I really need to buy some soon. Thanks Albert.
Hi DG, Ecolind watercolor is indeed nice to you better do some tests before using it your artwork. It's very persistent and it has the habbit to resurface in later added painting layers. Also in a blank canvas it soaks downwards into the canvas through the gesso. Once you know how it works you can use it to create interesting effects that otherwise could destroy your painting. Hope this helps, Albert
Hi Ig, thanks. I'm familiar with this 'problem', the ecoline watercolor I use tends to do the same. Now you learned this, see where and when you can make this a 'technique' you can use in your artwork. I believe I used a little varnish to be able to control this 'problem' a little. I would love to hear about the solution you come up with that works for you. Albert
May I ask if you love Gabriele Mūnter? I do.
Hi Lance, thanks. Yes, she's on my list I'm thiking which angle to take to tell her story / paint in her style. Bye, Albert
Slavko Kopak is an intriguing artist. What do you think? Could he be one of your exploration in painting? Thank you for your time and consideration. Franca
Hi Franca, thanks. Slavko Kopac is already on my list, you also asked for him 😉 I will see what I can do. Bye, Albert
Liking the way someone worked in the past with, presumably little knowledge of toxic materials is one thing. Doing the same thing these days, with the full knowledge of it's dangers is something else. Foolishness and a death wish. I worked with some of the most dangerous chemicals around, hands on. I was a chemical safety officer too. In twenty years I obeyed all the safe handling techniques, I never had an accident. Find another way to do these things. Many chemicals are toxic by build-up in the body, via inhalation, ingestion and skin contact. It takes time to kill you. There is always another way these days, take no short cuts! Shrugging and laughing is not clever.
Hi Gordon, thanks. Point taken. Won't happen again. Albert
You need more poverty in the creative process..... misery and sadnees is the flag of my country.... Real altra povera famiglias....
Thank you Persefone for sharing your thoughts. Albert
