RED PALOMO

My new painting "Red Palomo"
2016 Acrylic and oil on canvas 150x100cm (59x39.4")

Palomo was Simon Bolivar's horse.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palomo_%28horse%29
Red Palomo was his distant cousin who refused to be tamed and ran away on the Colombian hills never to be caught again. He followed his cousin from a distance till Palomo died for exhaustion in the Hacienda Mulaló and promised to fulfill his deathwish which he promptly forgot and carried on happily ever after.

This paintng will be displayed in my new exhibition 'Coincidences' in Taichung, Taiwan this coming May. News will follow.

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.

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.

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.

EQUILIBRIUM (7)

Creativity is a path to freedom

Do you remember that day in 1972 when the San Francisco skyline changed forever (so to speak) when the Transamerica Pyramid was completed?

They say that a sense of serene fulfillment grabbed the hearts of everyone and that for a day, a smile was the expression that everyone wore on their faces. These combined together into a gigantic smile that rose up for just a moment to the very top of the skyscraper's pinnacle. It was one of those warm evenings when everyone feels at peace with oneself and the universe and forgetful of every day's toiling.

No pictures were taken, no article was written on the press, no governmental statement was issued.

At the end of the day, what was left was a mere feeling, a subdued sensation of calm and hope and, deep within the hearts of those who witnessed the event, the certainty that the impossible, no matter how unbelievable that may be, is just a few millimeters away from common sense.

Original painting: 'EQUILIBRIUM (7)' - Acrylic and oil on 20x20cm canvas

Also this painting is included in the exhibition 'EQUILIBRI', cured by Gianluca Veltri, now on display  at Anadema Hair Stylists in Milano www.anadema.com

PRESENT IN THE BALANCE (a diptych) - 2013

Present is the period of time unequivocally left in the narrow space between past and future.

Equilibrium, the exhibition cured by Gianluca Veltri at ANADEMA Hair Stylists' in Milan (www.anadema.com) is going on with the help of its main character, the horse. Here's one I met the other day in Piazza del Duomo, while on my way to class at IED's. We exchanged polite greetings and parted. They told me the gentle steed is here to report about our present-day illusions for a newspaper of unknown denomination.
To anyone who might send me a copy of such articles would go my utter respect and appreciation.
