Summer Studio is back in action! Got to spend the weekend with my FAVORITE artist of all time working together again in a space that can finally accommodate our needs: big panels to paint, spray, doodle, experiment, and endlessly laugh. This is the joy in Arting Together🥰 'Inside one Woman's Mind'- Work in Progress measuring 4'x8' (141x243cm). #provopropart #outsiderart #summerstudio #fortheloveofart #arting #goingbig #woman #swarm #art #artshot #wip #artforsale #mind #experientialart #everettwashington #artistsatwork (at Everett, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBMgF0JnZr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the strangest Beatles album ever. About 10 years ago, I interviewed an artist, Rutherford Chang, who collects and shows only original 1968 numbered copies of the Beatles’ White Album. You could say he’s *A* record collector! He presents them all as an experiential art exhibit called We Buy White Albums, where he turns art galleries into faux record shops that only have the one album, and the idea is to explore how all these albums went out into the world identical except for their serial numbers and how they’ve all changed and been randomly altered over the years (it’s a metaphor for us). He has about 900 copies at the time and I’m sure he’s into the multiple thousands by now. So I wrote about his first exhibit, in NYC, and at the time, he was recording copies to a laptop while they played in the Gallery. A year later, I ran into him and he had quietly pressed an album of the recordings stacked on each other—100 White Albums all playing simultaneously! It all starts out relatively in sync, but that changes quickly. The audio starts to disintegrate, and by the end of side one, it’s all a long wooosh that is spooky or beautiful or irritating or calming or…. So this is my copy, and while I don’t play it often, I really like it. I find it calming actually. The cover is, as you might expect, the 100 albums’ covers on top of each other, too. The Beatles never came after him for copyright violations and just as well; this is a unique artwork and I can’t help but think that John and Yoko in particular would be into it and the concepts behind it.

Sofu Teshigahara - Modernism and the Avant-Garde in Japan  "Sofu Teshigahara was born in 1900 as the eldest son of Ikebana artist Wafu Teshigahara. Starting to take lessons in Ikebana from childhood, he gradually began to attract attention for his outstanding talent however, in questioning the formalistic traditions of Ikebana, he broke away from his father to establish the Sogetsu School of Ikebana in 1927. Together with Houun Ohara and Yukio Nakagawa, he eventually came to lead the postwar “avant-garde Ikebana movement,” which deviated from conventional practices of Ikebana, and resulted in its unprecedented and thriving popularity. #art #artist #japaneseartist #japaneseart #japaneseavantgardeart #fineart #VisualArt #artworks #ikebana #ikebanaart #ikebanaartist #avantgardeart #experientialart #modernart #japaneseculture #culture #contemparyart #blog #artblog @expositionblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CNKK6CzH2Lb/?igshid=9vp5wwytpod6

Dick Griffin @dick.griffin, Round Midnight in Bright Mississippi, 2014 🎨 Legendary jazz trombonist and painter Dick Griffin whose music career spans over 40 years and consists of working with luminaries such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Tito Puente. Like his music, Griffin’s paintings are influenced from his experience. “When you hear me play, what I put out there is what I’ve experienced; and when I paint, I put the same thing on canvas-in a different way” said Griffin. These sentiments are evident in Round Midnight in Bright Mississippi, a painting that’s dedicated to the great Thelonious Monk, with whom Griffin was a close friend. Round Midnight, is a vibrant, abstract piece of work with melodic brush strokes that invoke a mood of transitioning from a more chaotic, mysterious darkness to a harmonious, inspirational light, with a capital T balancing the ebb and flow of the spirit and mastery of music and the great Thelonious Monk. . . #supportblackart #dickgriffin #roundmidnightinbrightmississippi #theloniousmonk #abstract #painting #blackart #legendary #jazz #trombonist #melodic #veryblack #experientialart #experimental #painterly #artlove #blackexcellence #artvisuals #artislife

Friday’s Impression - “The Metaphor of the Trip”

This Friday’s Impression has a tinge of wistful mixed in. It’s officially the end of summer and, on that quiet note, I’m reflecting on my travels through a scattershot of images.

I can see the whirlwind it’s been as I scroll through my camera roll. I fly and once again marvel the tapestries of the world beneath me. Each time it’s a different patchwork of colour and the meandering lines that connect all are purposeful and artful as if guided by a master calligrapher. The clouds; they play tricks with shadows over land and glass pools. Once in their lair, and when all is white, the billowy mass hypnotizes the soul to stay for a while and I sink in. But that’s another story. Pictures turn to cobblestones and honey-coloured stone houses along Venetian canals. Memories continue through open windows and terracotta rooftops mix with bell music marking day’s end.

The images blend and blur together like a moving picture book. Time mixed with adventure moves so quickly.

But I settle in on just one page this Friday. 

Through a gallery window in Venice, the quiet, self-absorbed gaze of a seated figure was enough to slow me down while everything kept buzzing in St. Mark’s Square.  

He seemed to be unfinished, this partial sculpture of a man in bronze with his leather-strapped backpack. There was a weathering to the half-man and a patina to his half-clothes. It appeared that he had traveled far. Seen things. I wondered if he’d left some of himself behind - gradual fragments lost here and there along the journey.

The clear window caught every reflection of the famous Piazza. Clock tower, colonnade and café tables with the whitest sun-lit linens played into the gallery. It was a rich scene and so was the half-man who offered his unfinished place for the surrounding world to dwell for a short time. Strangely, his lack of materiality is what completed him. It made him whole. The quiet gaze, it seemed, was now committed and shared an open intuition with things lost and rediscovered. 

“The Metaphor of the Trip” by contemporary artist, Bruno Catalano is a unique and self-interpretive exhibition that I personally experienced in May of this year at the Galleria Ravagnan in Venice.  The Morrocan born sculptor who later emigrated to France takes inspiration from the great masters such as Rodin, Giacometti, and César.

Forced to leave Morocco as a child, he traveled with packs of memories and origin that are represented in his work. His ethereal bronze characters, “Les Voyageurs”, with glaringly missing pieces are each accompanied with baggage and are an expression of movement through life.

Through their non-parts, Catalan's "travelers" find distinction within their urban context. Offering themselves to different readings, they establish a fascinating dialogue between environment and the creative musings of those who observe them. The bigger narrative lies between human life and travel. We are indeed each a journey.  

As a traveler, my experience of the art was through a window. It was my observation point that offered its own set of glimpses within the ‘non-finished’. I absorbed, took part, and left just a bit of myself behind, I suppose. 

Reflecting back, my scene shows a ghost of a traveler moving through with backpack and suitcase in tow. Where was he heading, I wondered? Our journeys, I realize, are deeply intertwined. They resonate long after with the fragments of our footsteps and other seekers of adventure, connecting life with time and place. 

My moving picture book is rich with untold stories. It leaves a lasting impression.
