2) Proposed Solo exhibition for Gallery to be found:
Theme: The 4 Seasons
Temporary title: 'Red leaf, Janus and cool summer nights'
- Into a texture of the 4 Seasons, I am weaving experiences, sensations and mythical visions.
Through old traditions and personal inventions, interpretations and collage of fragmental images, i try to follow the thread of my life.
I change, I detect changes in the form of my life, I am spectator of a continual act of transformation in my environment. I observe and document the different forms as they are born the one out of the other; I witness the transitional cycle of the 4 Elements.
These observations, documented in photography, collage and painting, are part of a process that started in the spring time a year ago, and continues until I feel that I completed this cycle of artistic expression.
- There are complete works and works that are still only in the mind, drawings and paper collages out of my personal only work of darwings and own photographic stock.
- Architectural elements, both their realistic images and their symbolic metaphor, are vehicles of messages and links of passages between the various phases.
- The human figure speaks through its shape and its choreographic pose and gesture.
- Architecture, plants, cats and people, in their abstracted and yet figurative presence in my paintings and digital photo-collages,offer themselves both to direct physical interpretations as well as metaphors to the spiritual travels of my mind.
- I do my paintings in solitude, but through the common concerns and expectations I am together with all these invisible friends, some of which get to see my paintings.
- I think that experiencing the 4-Seasons-life-cycle of the plants, the ritual symbols and myths and the related expressive movements of the dancers, we get insight in the essence of our life, our existence and our perpetual death and resurection in body and soul.
3) Theme:
UTOPIA,
with reference to London and surroundings. Watercolour cartoon style and fantastic realism; a bit of history and philosophic meditation illustrates the pictures.
Gallery: to be established.
I am creating these series right now!
Invitations by galleries most welcome!
