I ll show for the first time my sculptures made out of metal, glas and wood.
Sty posted – soon I ll give you some more news:=)

Well Ian Davey is not a Native American, neither he sees absolutely feathers in this context – but I think it gives a whole new reading to his pieces if you put his feathers into a higher, more spiritual context. This 48 old British Contemporary artist draws his paintings on Swan feathers that he collects on the ground.

I admit, it’s a little bit kitsch and repetitive, but so so beautiful and fine. So Yes! I am a FAN!

Each single feather can take up to a week to be painted as it’s quite a delicate work. In my eyes that’s what makes them even more precious, beautiful and I love the fragility of the object in general.

Ian Davey lives in a converted farmhouse in Snowdonia National Park, Wales. His feathers come from a nearby swannery, but Davey underlines that he only uses feathers that naturally felt down on the ground. Afterwards his artistic process starts by cleaning every single feather and by straightening them with tweezers. He prepares sketches of his drawings. Before painting directly on the feathers he applies a primer and works with a special acrylic paint that protects the feather. To nail the most detailed parts, Ian uses a specialized 000-size brush. Waouh! What a meticulous work!

Last glances and I hope you it, as much as I did to share his work with you!

Key words that gave us, Christian and me, a sense and direction of what we wanted to work on. I love the power of words. Each one is in it’s simple form so strong!

Please mind: This is a preview:)

Topic: Space, vision and light. The abstract art of the 20th century with artists such as Ann Veronica Janssens, Anish Kapoor, John Armleder, Carsten Höller, Philippe Decrauzat, Jeppe Hein, Felice Varini and Xavier Veilhan.

“By putting vibration along with the spectator’s perception in the centre of their works, they set up multiple resonances with optical and kinetic art, which first emerged at the Movement exhibition in Denise René’s Paris gallery in 1955, but also, more broadly, with what was later called “perceptual art” at the exhibition The Responsive Eye at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965.”

Two of my favorites in there:
Alexander Calder (just love him – and the shadow heart on the wall:)

#life & the after life
from The Man and the Echo:
While man can still his body keep
Wine or love drug him to sleep,
Waking he thanks the Lord that he
Has body and its stupidity,
But body gone he sleeps no more,
And till his intellect grows sure
That all’s arranged in one clear view,
Pursues the thoughts that I pursue,
Then stands in judgment on his soul,
And, all work done, dismisses all
Out of intellect and sight
And sinks at last into the night”

….all there is….

Rainbows of nature, rainbows of imagination, rainbows of God’s creation and hand,… being a symbol for bridges, messengers, archer’s bow, serpents, etc. Oh Infinite Rainbow, it’s a never ending story!

I could go ON and ON and ON and on…. – hello rainbow infinity* & a lovely day to you all*

Smile till rainbows span it.”

and the last two ones, by Elliott Erwitt:

Stezaker’s work re-visits and examines various photographies and their imagery relationships: a documentation of truth, the purveyor of memory, symbols of modern culture.
His work consists of collages and Stezaker appropriates images, that he found in books, magazines, and postcards. He uses them as kind of ‘readymades’. Elegant transformations are set up and a new context was given with the artists point of view and artistic “signature”.

Stezaker was born 1949, in Worcester, UK. Nowadays he lives and works in London, UK.
I love his deformed often, almost surrealistic results!

Stezaker stated: “I collected pictures of smokers. But it was only when I gave up cigarettes that I found a use for them”.

…from dust till dawn -bye bye for today*

The theme is about “WUNDER” (German word for miracle but as well understood as marvel, wonder, magical).
Are we all “WUNDER”?
Experiences that become treasures, depending how we form them and what we make out of them…. A non written story?

Soon more to reveal and the Artwork can be seen at my exhibition “Les mots, à fleur de peau” @ the Alcazar in Paris: 2.9.2013 – 2.10.2013 – Vernissage: 9.9.2013

Thanks to you Guillaume! It’s a real pleasure to collaborate with you!

How all this works? Take a look!

In my eyes I like the circle structure and the kind of simplicity that her sculptures have. No overloaded Disneyland style – just pure little pieces, where every element gets curious and excitng in there.

I love it!
