HAPPY MOON FESTIVAL! - 中秋節快樂!

Moonbird -月亮鳥 (2014)

In the middle of the year

when everybody rests

It suddenly appears

like yesteryear and next.

We look upward in wonder

rejoice for its bright shine

as long as it stays yonder

we know it's yours and mine.

Whatever we may do,

wherever we might be

the good luck that it brings

is everyone's gift.

Bird: Chinese Moonbird中國的月亮鳥 

Original painting: Moonbird -月亮鳥
2014 - Acrylic, golden enamel and oil on canvas - 27x22cm (10.6x8.7")

 

LADY O'HARE - 奧黑爾女士

2014 - Acrylic, golden enamel and oil on canvas 40x40cm (15.75x15.75")

Lady O'Hare was born in Ballyharry on the East coast of Ireland around 1440. She was an exuberant child and grew with a strong-minded and independent character that didn't fit well with the rigid structure of her clan. She was sent to Italy to learn some manners and travelled around Tuscany until she met the famous dancing master Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro (1420-1484) and settled with him in Milano in 1465 when he was put in charge of the celebrations for the wedding of the Duke of Bari with Eleonora d'Aragona. She called her first octuplets Coinín Athbheochan I, Coinín Athbheochan II, Coinín Athbheochan III, Coinín Athbheochana I, Coinín Athbheochan IV, Coinín Athbheochana II, Coinín Athbheochan V, Coinín Athbheochana III.

* Coinín Athbheochan means 'Renaissance Rabbit' in Gaelic.

FIREBIRD - 火鳥

As hard as it is to find, as sure as it is for one to be mesmerised upon finding it.

It likes to be sought for, but only few are allowed the privilege to see it and just with the corner of one's eye.

This painting is now on display at my exhibition 'WHERE DO I DREAM?' 在哪兒作夢? (一場充滿問號的表演) which opened on 19 July at 打開盒子創藝 Open Box Art Gallery in Taichung, Taiwan. The show will stay on until August 31.

在哪兒作夢? (一場充滿問號的表演)

"我也不清楚, 沒有一定的規則, 有時在火車上, 有時正在騎單車, 我在街角後方尋找飛碟, 或是被熊追著下山. 有一天我正在整理襪子的時後不知不覺做起夢來了. 就在五分鐘以前, 我也做了一個夢, 這是一種無法克制的衝動."

MEDIASTARS BRAND ART - 12-13 June 2014

Brand Art è un termine usato per la prima volta dall'artista contemporanea Swetlana Heger come movimento successivo alla Pop Art. Questa tendenza prevede l'utilizzo di marchi e dei loro prodotti come materia prima per le proprie opere.

La mostra collettiva BRAND ART - The soul of the Brand, sarà allestita a Palazzo Isimbardi, sede della Provincia di Milano in Corso Monforte 35 il 12 e 13 giugno, con il patrocinio di Provincia di Milano, UNICOM Unione Nazionale Imprese di Comunicazione, AI Associazione Autori di Immagini, Brand Identikit e Associazione RestArt.

Un poliedrico sguardo sulle più recenti tendenze dell’arte contemporanea, un assaggio degli emotional events che animeranno l’agenda culturale di Milano in vista dell’evento EXPO.

L’Associazione restART presenterà 370 pins selezionate per la seconda edizione dell’International pins contest restART.

Curatrice dell'allestimento della Mostra è Claudia Simoncini - Storica dell'Arte.

Orario della mostra:
giovedi’ 12 giugno, ore 14-17
venerdi’ 13 giugno ore 11-17
L'ingresso e’ libero.

DOVE SOGNO? (WHERE DO I DREAM?) - Exhibition

Dove sogno? (Where do I dream?)

"Non so, non c'è una regola. Talvolta lo faccio in treno, oppure quando, andando in bicicletta, cerco dischi volanti dietro agli angoli o mi inseguono gli orsi giù dalle montagne. L'altro ieri mi è capitato di farlo riordinando le calze; cinque minuti fa ne ho fatto uno proprio qua, mi scappava e non sono riuscito a trattenerlo."

Salomon Güp (critico e filosofo)

"I don't know, there is no rule. Sometimes I do it on the train or, while riding a bike, I look for flying saucers behind street corners or when bears chase me down from the mountains. The other day I happened to do it as I was reordering my socks; five minutes ago I had one right here, it was an urge and I just could not hold it."

HISTORY 53 - 2014 - VISITOR'S VISA

In a moment of dire consequences, Susumu 進, the Japanese Koi, undertook the perilious challenge to follow the bureaucratic path and get all the necessary documents to come and visit the city. In order to combine business and pleasure, he took this chance to help solve the catastrophic moral failure affecting the labour market, without asking for whatsoever reward or monetary remuneration. To him go the citizenry's enduring affection and gratitude.
