The ART of RECYCLING - WIP

I've just begun a new painting on a piece of recycled canvas. Sometimes good ideas don't reach completion. Time changes everything. A flying peacock-airship will thus become a portrait of a man with a very tremendous opinion of himself and a very bad one of the rest of humanity, especially women, minorities and pretty much anyone else.

First step: outline drawing and background area colour. 

Let's see what happens next.

GREAT LEADER MAO TSE TUNG - WIP 2

Another step in the painting process of my Mao Tse Tung' portrait. Today is the day details must be added to the basic field colours. Details might somehow contradict the overall stylization of the figure, but will still contribute to the painting's final mood and personality by supplying much more information about the portrayed character.

Some of the original turquoise hue will still show through the colour gaps, making all surface tones more vibrant, especially in the red and skin coloured areas.

After this one is finished, I'll start working on  a new portrait. My sketch is already done and the canvas is taut.

GREAT LEADER MAO TSE TUNG - WIP

Having some fun with history: on the day that a new President has been confirmed in the US, I have begun work on a portrait of one of the "Great leaders" of the XX century.
The subtitle of the series is going to be "In the name of progress".

Happy day wherever you are, playing golf or smiling in front of your friends!

The ZEPHYR MONNA LISA - Work in progress

  

A new painting's on the way. It's my humble rendering of one of De Crico's lost unknown masterpieces. De Crico was probably the most distracted artist in history and lost all of his works. Maybe one day someone will find one behind Grandma's wardrobe or hidden in a cellar.

RRUBIE'S TREE-HOUSE - The Grand Opening!

 

 

Rrubie's Tree-House has finally been inaugurated in the presence of many guests, artists, artists' friends and relatives, local authorities and the constructors. Only one person was missing: me, the designer. This Covid-19 pandemic has had also minor consequences such as this. Taiwan has done a Great job in preventing the spread of the virus and fortunately I was 'virtually' present through the means of modern technology.

Rrubie's Tree House is built using recyclable and recycled materials only and it's located at Orange Farmhouse, a beautiful resort in Zhuolan, on an elevated plateau in central Taiwan, famous for its organic-grown fruit.
The tree-house will entertain kids and families visiting the area and it's an artistic presence that is going to be added to the list of artworks created there these past few years. Some time from now, the whole area will be characterised by both its natural beauties and artistic presence.

 

Thanks to Mooz Lee for the video, to Mingts Yu for her help, to Sarah Yu for all the pictures and support.

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.

RRUBIE's TREE HOUSE - 2

The originally called 'Little bird tree-house" is an idea of Mr. Yu, architect and owner of the Orange Farmhouse in Zhuolan, a luxious plateau in central Taiwan, where there are plenty of orchards of organic grown fruit, such as the Oriental pear, Grapes, Star Fruit and Oranges. Of course, being that an ideal place to grow plants, there are also lemon trees, tomatoes and plenty of Dragon fruit cultivations.

The basic drawing I made has been used as a base for the trre house. For the inner structure, the chosen materials have been recycled pvc tubes and wood.

Thanks to Sarah Yu for the pictures.
