FLASH

Don’t move ! Flash !

“Flash” was intended as a purely abstract painting.

“Flash”, mixed technique on hardboard, 78 x 119 cm, 2013

It was not an intention properly speaking, but a need to simply cut and paste, cut and paste bits of my old drawings and paintings, trying to record a specific state of mind.

At least until I grabbed from the huge mound of sketches my old interpretation of the “Girl with a Pearl Earring”.

Flashback. Lots of flashbacks. From then on, the whole assemblage called for its own re-shaping, and I followed it.

“Apple Flower II ” in progress

Two weeks ago, painting in the garden.

I’ve enjoyed it very much, but after a couple of days I was back in the studio, and I’ll probably stay there until next April !

: 1st Day

: 2nd Day

Funnily enough, when I started the painting I was listening to France Culture radio, and the discussion was about a Roses plantation in Africa, and how the roses imported in France lack the specific wonderful scent, because of the conditions of transportations. It almost killed my inspiration.

“Apple II” is on sale at http://www.maia-fine-art.com/

RCA Secret 2013

Reblogged from Cee Kay Crafts:

I recently came across a web article about a new exhibition at the Royal College of Art called RCA Secret 2013. It is such a good idea. Basically, the RCA has asked well known artists and graduates who are relatively unknown, to produce work on or the size of, a postcard. The artist signs the work on the back and all the postcards are displayed to the public.

Juxtapoz

Reblogged from mrsrtist's Blog:

Jonty Hurwitz was a discovery i made through the Juxtapoz Magazine. This magazine has been a staple for my inspirations as an artist. It has some of the most innovative ideas and designs from all sorts of artistic vices, it pushes the boundaries of art as it should be pushed.

Jonty Hurwitz's recent work is something of a dream, again it is his opposites that attracted me.

Reblogged from :

Really like these paintings by Abbey Mcculloch, an Australian painter. Couldn't find any site of Abbey nor any other site where you can buy her work, so she is shrouded in a little bit of mystery. I like a little bit of mystery from time to time...
