A slideshow, in chronological order, showing Khan's growth as an architect and his concentration on the relationship between people and the buildings they live/work in.
Rae - It's a well-made site, well organized.
I keep thinking about that little whisker that appears on top of the frame and elsewhere throughout the site. At first I thought it was just ornament - just something to make the frame un-framelike. But the more I look at the rest of the work it seems like it is a recurring form. It appears as hair, beards, ears, horns, etc.
What was the thought behind it?
Adolf Wolfli was confined to a mental asylum in Germany where he created a tremendous and complex body of work that included paintings, drawings, writing and combinations of all three.
I wonder if he's looked at a lot of Hogarth? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gin_Lane
I like the way the architecture is so oppressive in his work - almost like a cemetery. Do you know if he works from models? I'm asking because there is a strong sense of posing in the fight scenes - which turns them into more of an aesthetic experience as opposed to a visceral experience.
An unconventional - and very old print titled Werewolf by Lucas Cranach. There is no full moon, no fangs, no howling - just a yard littered with bodies and body parts and a horrific depiction of a small child being carried away in the mouth of a madman whose only indication of wolf-ness is what may or may not be long ears coming out of his hair.
This is some nice work. Many of the original Surrealists who first did these were also Dadaists. There are many connections between the Dadaists and the Surrealists. Some might argue that Surrealism is a logical growth from Dadaism. Check this link out: http://www.exquisitecorpse.com/definition/About.html
An unconventional representation of a vampire. There are no fangs, no wide-open eyes, no crosses and no blood. Just two figures hunched over in the darkness, one with it's mouth apparently at the neck of the other. More is implied than described.
