Alcohol ink drawings (and few photos) This series of alcohol ink drawings was made by Hung to cheer me up in the aftermath of my unfortunate fall and ankle fracture while in Cuba trying to soak up some sun ahead of the Canadian winter. In a life-changing split second, I ended up stuck for 10 […]
Ink on paper This is a study of a minimalist representation of space and dimensions by Hung. Using simple geometric elements and shapes. The rectangles of urban landscapes (visit also Urban Galleries), triangular shades, horizontal lines of horizon(s), and angled ones adding perspective. Color blocks, softness of alcohol ink pens layering on soft paper. The […]
Women collage artists This time around, we are blogging about ‘wimmin’ with magical powers. ‘Wimmin‘ ??? A femme-like creatures intertwined with botanical worlds, from a natural history of fairies, of course. ‘Wimmin’ are out-wordly beings from another universe, symbiotic with plants, morphed into their germination and reproduction – a world where the co-existing species in […]
Oil sketches by Tom Thompson Escaping a ‘hamster wheel’ of daily grind, for twenty years now I found a solace and calming peace on Madawaska river – on our 2.5 acres of untouched nature, deep waters shimmering with mirages of seasonal colors, a bliss of cleansing in deep waters of the lake and immersing in […]
Sculptures of Ivan Eyre McMichael’s art collections in Kleinburg hosts a sculpture garden – grand-scale black shiny statues against green screen of leafs and intermingled nature paths. Surprising, stunning, Egyptian, modern, indigenous – hard to find a footing in this encounter. A little out of place, yet primal as the nature surrounding them. Admittedly, little […]
Surrealism and collages of Jasmine Kukic My first serious attraction to art was surrealism. Andre Breton’s manifesto, Marcelle Duchamp, da-da, Chirico, Dali, of course – a young soul searching for the identity in subconscious, mysterious, illogical, defying ‘prescribed, ordinary, routine’. The attraction never stopped since then – only recently, though, I realized that it was […]
Photography Perhaps I can start this blog with a musing about what might be an ideal city? These days, fantastical, futuristic city designs generated by AI, stunning yet somehow dehumanized, are regular in my Instagram feed. Prompting the question – would I like to live in these cities? Honestly, I do like the image or […]
Gel plate prints of drawings Recently, while browsing through the Museum of Archeology in Montreal, we stumbled upon the book ‘..of Horses and Man’ – much about warriors and conquerors and art representations of their glory. Mounted on horses, swords thrusting victoriously… It was a cunning coincidence, as we were in the process of assembling a […]
Gel plate monoprints The life spinning in unexpected ways, there is much on my mind, usually adaptable and efficient, yet vulnerable. Verbalizing feelings helps, but true listeners are rare…and there is always a sense of empowerment in ‘dealing with issues’ on your own, a false comfort in shielding others from a bother. Thus, I speak […]
Mind filler story The series ‘Identity’ illustrates a search for one’s recognizable identity, personal, ethnic, and racial. The search is arduous, looking into mirrors and fighting blind spots. The path is uncertain and convoluted. Could you define your own identity in a sentence or two – with clarity and precision? Perhaps words are not sufficient…are […]
