I know I’ve been posting the Flaming Torch Bromeliad a lot but they are REALLY pretty today :-) (billbergia pyramidalis), known as the flaming torch and foolproof plant, it’s a species of bromeliad that is native to northern South America and parts of the Caribbean. Found in moist, humus rich, soils or in composted leaf mould on the ground, in humid areas, as well as on rocks under shady forest trees. If you can find an area like this you will be rewarded every year with a wonderful show of flowers. Propagate by dividing the plants when they get leggy. #bromiliad #billbergia #BillbergiaPyramidalis #FlamingTorch #FoolproofPlant #flower #abcmygarden #CentralAmerican #SouthAmerica #cuba #venezuela #brazil #FrenchGuiana (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqztSz1vMNt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yoshitomo Nara “I don’t paint when I am happy. I only paint when I am angry, lonely, sad, when I am able to talk to the work. So there is a need for storytelling before I paint.” - Yoshitomo Nara, Artist. Yoshitomo Nara was born in 1959 in Hirosaki, a city known for its traditional Edo Period (1603-1868) architecture and cherry blossom trees. The youngest of three boys of working parents, he spent much of his free time lost in Japanese comic books. In his teens, Nara moved to Nagakute to study art at the ‘Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music’ eventually leaving Japan for Germany in 1988. At the ‘Kunstakademie Düsseldorf’ where he studied until 1993, Nara became fascinated with Neo-Expressionism and punk rock; both of these movements would shape his artistic style, although he denies punk was his only musical influence. After 12 years in Germany, Nara returned to Japan to pursue a career as a painter. In his work, he began fusing elements from his past; he painted portraits of children with facial features adopted from traditional Japanese Otafuku and Okame theatrical masks, and in poses lifted from the anime and manga cartoons he read as a child. His compositions nodded to historical Edo period ukiyo-e woodblock prints. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #yoshitomonara #love #superflat #japan #germany #sculpture #kids #painting #otafuku #okame #knives #flamingtorches #crucifixes #vampirefangs https://www.instagram.com/p/ByPgZIdAuLi/?igshid=oixbiap7eg5x

Yoshitomo Nara “It is a big mistake to connect my art to punk alone. My work is always linked to recognisable punk album covers, but folk music record covers are really important. There was no museum where I grew up so my exposure to art came from the album covers.” - Yoshitomo Nara, Artist. Around 2001, Nara became associated with an avant-garde group of Japanese artists known as ‘Superflat’ which also included Takashi Murakami and Chiho Aoshima. They used lurid colours, patterns, and Japanese cartoon motifs to examine the country's hyper-marketed and hyper-consumerist culture, which was increasingly mistrusted by Japanese youth. Nara soon became known among his ‘Superflat’ peers for his pictures of young children. Seemingly innocent at first glance, a closer look reveals a darker side to these boys and girls, who brandish knives, crucifixes and flaming torches, or sport vampire fangs and smoke cigarettes. Yet if Nara’s mini subjects are no angels their aggressive posturing is perhaps a necessary defence. In the 2000s Nara’s work began to tour in group and solo exhibitions in Japan and America, and his prices rocketed. In 2008 Christie’s sold Nara’s 1995 painting of a child in an orange hat ‘Yr. Childhood’ for HK$6,487,5000 — more than three times its low estimate. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #yoshitomonara #love #superflat #japan #germany #sculpture #kids #painting #otafuku #okame #knives #flamingtorches #crucifixes #vampirefangs https://www.instagram.com/p/ByPgToJg7Fi/?igshid=1kle6y5w6qpln

Unusual second flush of flowers from our Bromiliad, flaming torch (billbergia pyramidalis), commonly known as the flaming torch and foolproof plant, is a species of bromeliad that is native to northern South America and parts of the Caribbean. Every few years pull all the plants out and remove old dead bits then divide them and just put them lightly into the ground supporting each other. They are found in moist humus rich soils or in composted leaf mould on the ground in humid areas, and as well as on rocks under shady forest trees. If you can find an area like this you will be rewarded every year with a wonderful show of flowers. They don’t last as long as some other bromeliads but really make a show when they all flower at once. #bromiliad #billbergia #billbergiapyramidalis #flamingtorch #foolproofplant #flower #abcmygarden #myplants #homegrown #australiangardens #australiangarden #ausgarden #ausgardens #centralamerican #southamerican #cuba #venezuela #brazil #frenchguiana (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeaqO53vtyU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yoshitomo Nara Living for a period in Berlin further shaped his outlook. “In Berlin I was a foreigner and I had no language skills, so I felt very much isolated. It was like growing up in Aomori, which is very much disconnected from Japan. It reminded me of who I am and helped me rediscover myself.” - Yoshitomo Nara, Artist. Nara began experimenting with other mediums sculpting heads of figures from his paintings. These works, which retain impressions from the artist’s hands, are often coated in liquid metal that cracks like the glaze on 'Song' dynasty Chinese ceramics. In sculpture as in painting, Nara again harmonised modern and centuries-old crafts. In his native Japan, Nara’s figures have become instantly recognisable. Today, his images of children from the early 2000s are considered among his most important works, while his simplest compositions often command the highest prices. Nara continues to work in a variety of materials in his two studios in Germany and Japan. But he keeps a low profile and eschews social media, which he claims distract his artistic pursuits. That said, he has admitted that he plays ‘deafeningly loud’ music while he works. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #yoshitomonara #love #superflat #japan #germany #sculpture #kids #painting #otafuku #okame #knives #flamingtorches #crucifixes #vampirefangs https://www.instagram.com/p/ByPgO_bgLia/?igshid=d9k98pal8pwo
