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 […]
Hand-painted silk scarfs Soft on touch, gentle wrap around the neck, an ultimate sense of luxury – a silk scarf is a fashion statement. Until I had my hands on it, I was ignorant as to how intricate the process of designing a hand-painted scarf could be. For a painter in me, a blank silk […]
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 […]
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 Imprints impressed in our core come from an ancient past, origins of the species, as well as from more recent and vivid, ethnic and cultural histories. What is it about this elusive memory of the collective past, ancient or historical, imprinted in our brains and reflexes that define us individually? Why is […]
Mind filler story ‘Observers’ are moral authorities that channel or control our behavior, freedom of thought, and actions. They carry a carrot of belonging (to a beleif structure) and a stick of reprimand. They guide us and limit us, our freedoms. Observers could morph into an image of a strict father, religious leader, authoritarian philosophy, […]
Mind-filler story I came to experience a period of flirting with sexual ‘fluidity’ in my teenage years, sneaking out of control, parental and educational, to watch (then highly controversial) ‘Emmanuelle‘. Although I was firmly ‘she’, I did not shy away from experimenting kisses with girls or dressing in ‘man’s’ clothes. It was definitely an experimental, […]
Mind filler story I have a friend who is losing her faculties to Alzheimer’s, slowly but visibly – each time we meet, a distance of a few months, an inevitability of her decline sets in, sadly; she is fading away… Fading away…recent memories thinning out, clinging to the past, emotions flat or irritated, pinning time […]
Clay sculpture We built the brain out of an air drying clay – nascent, empty of experience or emotion, devoid of identity and past – hollow in its emptiness. Neurophysiologically and philosophically – it is doubtful that the brain is ever ’empty’ of experience. But this is the start of its life and evolution – […]
