Chris Foss | Plowing Through Alien Landscapes

[@jai2607]

As a teen in the 70s and 80s I was mesmerised by this guy's sci-fi art and his ability to transport you to far away, bizarre and imaginative alien worlds through concept art. Amazing talent and pure genius imagination!

[@deepashtray5605]

His artwork left a permanent impression on me.

[@daverei1211]

I remember his covers on the foundation series.

[@retromograph3893]

Nice! ......... as a kid in the 70's, i had a book of sci-fi illustrations, and to me Chris Foss was a magic name, because all my favorite pictures in the book were his!

[@cheradenine1980]

Stewart Cowley books lit up my childhood

Great vid. I'm a huge fan of Foss.

[@morenofranco9235]

Thanks, Art Shutter, for an amazing presentation on one of my favorite artists.

[@ArtShutter]

Thanks to you for watching

Foss was an enormous influence on me as a kid, possibly the first artist whose work I recognised as the style of a specific artist. His book covers were iconic.

[@TheFakinGuy]

Just discovered the channel and I love it! Definetely waiting for your videos from now on.

[@ArtShutter]

[@ArtShutter]

You're welcome, thank you for watching

[@BalrogsHaveWings]

Watching more of what you document, I love your passion. Thanks.

[@ArtShutter]

@@BalrogsHaveWings Thank you very much, I hope you like the next videos as much as this one

My school library back in mid 80s had a book of Chris Foss art. It was and if the book still exists amazing.

[@ericmaher4756]

Great bio, his artwork was all over the place at the time, definitely a great influence. I just never realised it was all from the same guy!

[@emanuelbugaj7078]

His art looks really amazing

[@AllanGildea]

Beautiful treat, thank you.

[@ArtShutter]

Thanks to you for commenting

Excellent overview, (subscribed), Chris Foss art took my breath away when I first came across his art in the early seventies. Among his contemporaries his art was unique. Honorary mentions go to Bruce Pennington and the much underrated Peter Andrew Jones.

[@ArtShutter]

I'm really glad you liked the video and thanks for subscribing. I didn't know about Peter Andrew Jones, I'll take a look at his work, thanks.

[@Catweazled]

@@ArtShutter He did some astonishing cover art, and probably came the closest to replicating the Foss style on his E.E Doc Smith covers, but his originality shone through later. A book called Solar Wind collected his paintings. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos some of my favourites are there😊

[@ArtShutter]

@@Catweazled I've been taking a quick look at some images of the Solar Wind book, and it has very good works, I will definitely investigate more about it, thanks for the recommendation. I hope you like the rest of the videos, I try to make them a little better each time

Hola. QUE EXELENTE RESÚMEN 👏👏👏👏👏💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No me pierdo ningún video como los que publican, pues sé que es garantía de calidad!!! Ahora, refiriéndome al trabajo de "Chris", puedo decir que sus puntos de vista y ángulos de visión que utiliza para realizar sus obras, siempre me dan la sensación de dinamismo y movimiento, pues los dibuja desde ésa perspectiva tan especial y de sello propio. Un gran ejemplo de imaginación con ese toque de innovación plasmado en el papel. Muy buen video!!! Saludos cordiales. 👍🖖🍀🐯🇦🇷👽

[@ArtShutter]

Muchas gracias, me alegro que te haya gustado. Interesante comentario sobre el trabajo de Chris Foss, de acuerdo con todo lo que dices al respecto.

[@manuelavila869]

Verdadero Genio y artista..habra que darle mucho mas creditos y publicidad, hay escazes de ellos... Genios...!

[@Davy.J.Y]

One of my all time fave SCI FI artists. Great video .

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you!

[@dm1787]

his artwork for Asimov books left strong impressions on my mind during my growing up years

[@CMDR_Verm]

As a young boy I remember seeing Foss's covers for E.E. Smith's Lensman series. I thought I was reading contemporary SF. Only later did I realise they were written many years ago but Foss had worked on my youthful imagination so much that I never clicked. I'd like to thank Chris Foss for introducing me to a genre that is still my favourite.

[@PRYNfinally]

I love this channel after recently discovering it, great quality of content. I have high hope that your channel will only continue to grow.

Love the channel!

[@ArtShutter]

I'm glad you like it!, cheers

[@benbishop1131]

Great illustrations! I wasn't familiar with Foss. Edmund Emshwiller and Frank Kelly Freas are a couple of my favorite science fiction illustrators.

[@barryon8706]

The way the future used to be. 🙂

[@MrGIVANG]

Awesome 👏🏼

[@analogcomics]

Great video as usual💪🏻I have a big fancy hardcover book of Foss art. His art has remarkable sense of wonder. I remember staring at his book covers when traveling abroad decades ago. I was so young I couldn’t understand language of those books but still those covers felt like a window to another galaxy. Sadly Finnish versions didn’t use Foss art.

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much for your comment!

[@alastairbrewster4274]

Great video sir , the man was an illustrative genius. Much copied but never equalled.

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much for watching and commenting!

Shoulders of giants

[@ARGHouse504]

From the first moment I saw the box art of foundation as a kid, I knew I wanted to be a sci fi artist.

[@Sophie9519]

[@svendtang5432]

Look at the games and see where it found its inspiration for its style

[@pouchyCorp]

[@genin69]

You guys unfortunately need to get a professional narrator, someone who is able to speak English. this is terrible
