SAVE DOGS IN KOREA DAY - Tuesday August 4

The American animal rights organisation Lady Freethinker has launched a campaign to try and stop the barbaric August 8 dog meat festival in Korea, based on the unscientific and silly concept that dog meat helps cool down the body on the year's hottest day.
Please let's all join this campaign!
For more information, check here: Lady Freethinker

It's going to be a carnage,thousands of dogs are going to be slaughtered on the streets. Let's do what we can to stop this event whose memory should be erased from history.

Fufi the Puppy is a willful testimonial in favour of the ethical treatment of animals.

STILL LIFE with FUFI and PARMIGIANO REGGIANO

Milan lockdown day 21
Fufi stays home and due to progressing boredom, the renown puppystar has started posing in a series of still lives.
In this case the theme is Italian Parmigiano Reggiano, probably one of the best cheeses in the world.
Thank you Fufi to make yourself useful in these days of doom and gloom.
We count on you.
"Wuf!"

STILL LIFE of a STILL LIFE...

This is probably the very first Still life of a still life painting ever taken*.
Art historians will talk about something else for generations to come.
Nevertheless this audacious artistic act is very improtant in these days of doom and gloom, because it helps distracting from the constant thoughts  about the pandemic and the free-roaming words of so many unqualified politicians.
Well in Fufi we trust.
And in Albers, too...
Happy day!

ALBER's GARDEN - WIP

Josef Albers (1888-1976) left a wide range of experimental work which is worth our attention.
Among his drawings there's a beautiful b/w lynocut on the interaction of line and space, called 'Runde' (Circle).
Well, I've tried to figure out how such a gentle abstract concept might be transformed into a tridimensional landscape.
Here's a detail of such work in progress with a semi-cubist Fufi waiting for a good reason to act.

STILL LIFE with FUFI in ALBER's ROOM - WIP 2

The final act on my new painting with Fufi the puppy in a still life in Albers' room. I am applying a layer of translucent oil colour, in this case Schminke's Raw Sienna and Sap Green mixed with some Liquin to further enhance paint's flow and transparency.
Applying a light transparent layer of oil gives the whole scene a more reassuring and romantic, pictorial feeling. All colours come together better. In real life this happens naturally, because sunlight influences all colours in different ways according to the time of the day. 
As when I used to paint by airbrush, also with this technique there's always a surprise at the end of the process.

STILL LIFE with FUFI in ALBER's ROOM - WIP

A new work in progress on my table. It represent Fufi in action in a still life.
It's been a challenge as a still life is meant to be, well... still, but Fufi is hard to restrain, therefore it's been quite a challenge to make this competition work. Let's see if I can complete it the way it is or I shall give up.
