I was trying this morning to distill what makes paleolithic European cave art...well cave art! And then apply it to an animal not seen in Europe. The technique was more important here than the results; I think the big bodies & smaller heads yet otherwise accurate features are a result of the artists having a sort of tunnel vision while working. As one drifts part to part lifting up the implement as little as possible the parts appear in proportion to their immediate neighbor. They are also distilled to their most important details & for the body that's a wide rectangular space.
If you picture yourself working on a heavily textured wall as tall or taller than you are with the equivalent of a tea light (oil lamps) or a flickering torch you can imagine how easy it would be to get that kind of focused tunnel vision. While we see tunnel vision as a bad thing while learning art today in terms of cave art I just sort of see it as a natural consequence. You're going to focus really hard on what needs it; there are no erasers. Additional paint can't be bought at the store. Stone walls have limited access. You're going to make the best of every resource while you're there. Besides who said the animal had to be proportional anyway? You know exactly what you're looking at!
Artist commentary: it was challenging deciding what was most important but also representing that important thing as accurately as possible. I feel like that's a common thread in all cave art from peoples across the world: draw what's most important. The rest will work out.

Vins en gros, édifice Delaspre-Chauvet.
Les marchands de vin en gros étaient installés dans de nombreuses agglomérations du Cantal. Ils distribuaient leurs produits sous forme de barriques dans les bistrots de campagne qui ont aujourd'hui disparu (mais pas tous !). A l'origine, il s'agissait de vins locaux produits dans la région de Massiac ou dans le nord de l'Aveyron avant l'arrivée des vins de l'Hérault transportés par le train.

Der Bison in der Höhle
von Florian Asche
Eigentlich sollte diese Reihe mit Artemis beginnen, mit der Göttin der Jagd, der Natur und der wilden Tiere (hier ist dieses Essay). Mit so einer Figur ist man ja automatisch im sicheren Hafen, besonders, wenn eine Frau an der Spitze der Redaktion steht. Da kann der Schreiberling ein paar geschickte Parallelelen einflechten – zum guten Aussehen oder zur Treffsicherheit – und…

LA GROTTA DI CHAUVET: La grotta di Chauvet si trova nel sud-ovest della Francia ed è la grotta preistorica più antica al mondo, infatti risale circa a 36 mila anni fa (32 / 36 mila). Detiene inoltre il record per superficie dipinta più estesa, si parla di 8500 metri quadrati pitturati con di figure di animali. Sono raffigurati per lo più predatori, ad esempio leoni e rinoceronti, tuttavia sono presenti anche animali come cervi e cavalli. Le scene raffigurate sono di caccia e inseguimenti, ed è ben rappresentata l'idea di movimento. Si pensa che, come la maggior parte delle opere del paleolitico avesse una funzione propiziatoria, non è però in alcun modo dimostrato.

Ancient Cave Art | Chauvet, France
The cave of Chauvet in the Ardéche Valley of France contains the earliest known art made by humans—depictions of bears, panthers, horses, and more, made 30,000 years ago. Examining this art closely gives us much information about the humans who created it—what their lives, beliefs, and environment must have been like. Because these cave paintings represent some of the earliest human artistic…

#NewFit Let’s face it; Gigbar hate is real in the DJ community 🎧 But also… I don’t give shit (to be frank)💩 • Gigbars are awesome! They have Pars & Effect lights all in one! 🚨 Do I bring it to every gig? No. Lights aren’t always needed (and I own so many different styles, that I like to experiment)👨🔬 • Real talk though… @chauvet_dj, you make a great light! But you can’t make a bag/case to save your life! 1 gig, 2 gig, 3 gig… eventually (most likely before gigs reach double digits) this bag is gonna rip. The zipper’s going to fall off. The canvas is going to stretch, while the interior foam is going to dent… you get the idea 💡 But hey! I’m not bitter 🥴 • Welcome @harborfreight in your hearts!🛠️⚒️ The Apache 9800 Rifle Case. Solid. Waterproof. Durable. Pick-N-Pull Foam makes it possible for a snug fit for just about anything • I purchased 2. One for my Gigbar2 & another for my smaller Gigbar Flex • Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • • • #DJ #ThinkOutsideTheBox #DJJRburrows #Chauvet #Gigbar #ChauvetDJ #GigbarFlex #Gigbar2 #EventDJ (at DJ:JR Burrows) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyUfaPp0Eue5wvaqj0v6AltsAeM9Jp8tLh8Yo0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
