HORSE!

My new painting for the 'Chinese Zodiac' series.
Title? "Horse"
Acrylic, oil and a tad of futurism on canvas.
60x40cm
 
The finished painting is going to be slightly different in its mood: colourful contrast will give way to some more pictorial unpredictability.
Let's wait and see.

The POPULAR RED HORSE of the POPLARS

A new work (in progress) this time painted on a slice of a walnut tree which had to be felled because ill.
Cutting a maybe 70 or 80 years old tree is always a sad thing. Part of it will be burnt in a fireplace during Winter. This remaining slice will probably decorate that very fireplace where the rest will end up in smoke. CARPE DIEM...

The Popular Red Horse of the Poplars is inspired by one of those tales that appear in dreams and no-one knows where they come from.

Acrylic, shellac and oil on walnut wood. Approximately 50x25cm

EAST meets WEST at 12 o'clock - 12點整 東方與西方相遇

"East meets West at 12 o'clock - 12點整 東方與西方相遇" (2018)
157x50cm (61.8x19.7") N. 40
Acrylic and oil on canvas - 壓克力顏料,油畫顏料,畫布

I met a man, a gentleman. It was a short time ago, on a Sunday, around noon.
We spoke of his country, a beautiful island, a pearl of the Orient, he sang sweet Italian songs, we ate food from both our countries and cheered together with the other friends we were dining with.
Later I showed him my works and we stopped before this one.
It was an allegory of our encounter. I found out how much I like this painting that I rediscovered and looked with different eyes from those who had seen it painted.
Indeed, after a while, art doesn't belong anymore to the moment and the artist who brought it into existence.
He liked it too, for reasons which are not for me to fathom.
In a moment when art is considered more as an investment than for the pleasure it may offer to our daily lives, it's good to know that from now on someone else will enjoy it, too.

ART TOOLS

ART TOOLS
This is a very practical art tool I often use when in Yuanli. It's became a staple tool in my creations and I truly miss it when I am elsewhere. That brings to mind a question if an artist can be identified with his/her/its tools and techniques or there's something else underlying everything. Nowadays many of us can still make interesting art without electricity?

MASTER YU's ART - Zhuolan

During my art residency in Zhuolan, I am staying at Master Yu's (余灯铨) studio. Here's a short video of one of his recent exhibitions that includes many of the artworks that surround his house and that I can see just stepping out of the door. It's serene art, snapshots of a life that somehow we lived in our youth and that we would like to live again. Tonight, while I was watching him work on a new project he told me: "When I work on a happy child sculpture like this, I must feel his happiness, otherwise my work would have no meaning".
