The Concretely Survey
Thank you so very much for filling out The Concretely survey last week. If you haven’t, it’s never too late: fill out here, takes a literal minute. Interesting findings so far:
Most subscribers are artists. This is great to have this community here! So - if you have artist friends, they might also like The Concretely. Only artists make art - but it works best if you also have cheerleaders! If you have a gallerist friend or someone weirdly interested in art in concrete - this is your sign to share the Newsletter with them.
Readers want big and beautiful pictures. We’re planning an version of the newsletter that features one artist through a number of big & beautiful pictures and a quick introduction. If you are interested, use this google form to submit a selection of your best new art that you’d be happy to see on The Concretely:
“The buildings he makes are of an unprecedented sobriety. We see war bunkers, mausoleums, atria, temples, racecourses and buildings that refer to the megalomaniac Nazi architecture of Speer. The corresponding color range is of course limited and, fully in accordance with the subject, only covers the shades and shades of concrete.”
“Recently, I came into contact with concrete as an art form through a two-day 'concrete art class' with artist Marlies Hoevers 🔲and I was sold. The rough and unpolished of concrete versus the soft and cuddly of felt… an interesting combination that works surprisingly well in the small concrete works that result.”
