Feriha Mert Given "Architect Of The Year" Award

The North American Committee of Turkish Society Awards (KATTOK), headquartered in Chicago, has given "Architect of the Year Award" to Turkish architect Feriha Mert, working in Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
Dr. Ali Erdemir, Honorably Head of KATTOK, said architect Mert turned some metro stations into modern museums in Istanbul, 2010 European Capital of Culture.

Three artists, two doctors and an architect were nominated for the 2009 KATTOK Award.

The presentation of the new project "Peace Express" took place in the art gallery "Shmatko & Sons"

"I decided to make this sculpture in order to evoke a response from these world leaders so that they would pay more attention to the problems of peacekeeping on our planet. I have chosen these politicians surely because they "run the show" in this world" - N. Shmatko said. The sculptural portraits of the President of the USA - Barack Obama, the President of Russia - Dmitry Medvedev, the Prime-minister of Italy - Silvio Berlusconi, the President of Venezuela - Hugo Chavez and the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, the President of the People's Republic of China - Hu Jintao are imaged on the tips of the fingers of a hand in the center of which there is a symbolic globe with Read more..

ARTISTMERLIN & MERLINISM

关于“安东书象”

安东书象，根深蒂固，气象万千。解读安东，欲言难表。 然天下有始。生为华夏之人，临池习贴，惯以为常，况稚幼乎。安东如此，打小涂画，不忘临池。草情隶韵，如同练剑。挥舞之中，种得心缘。数载积淀，却毅然弃之，另劈溪径。厚积而薄发，一发而不可收。此乃真安东：图精神，破陋习，不沿袭。 此藉刘勰于《文心雕龙》之《通变》篇所述：“然绠短者衔渴，足疲者辍涂，非文理之数尽，乃通变之术疏耳。故论文三方，譬诸草木，根干丽土而同性，臭味晞阳而异品矣。”天地虽大，万物虽多，其理相通。人生� Read more..

Jean Michel Basquiat

“To whom shall I hire myself? Which Beast must be worshiped? What holy image attacked? Whose hearts shall I break? What lie must I uphold? – In what blood shall I wade.” Arthur Rimbaud, ‘A Season in Hell’, Arthur Rimbaud: Collected Poems, Ed. Oliver Bernard, London: Penguin Classics, 1962, P.306. At some stage, even the greatest, most highly educated and cultured critics get it wrong, miss the boat or can’t see what’s staring them in the face. Ruskin got Whistler wrong. Greenberg got Warhol wrong, and Robert Hughes got it wrong when he panned Basquiat as a lightweight after Basquiat’s death from a drug overdose in ‘The New Republic’ in 1988. This article, which Read more..

Saatchi Chat Abandoned by Artists

After continued complaints that were ignored by Saatchi.com staffers concerning abuse of the chat room by non-artists and other malcontents, the creative core of Saatchi chat has moved on. Well over a dozen artists and friends of many nationalities have started their own separate chat room and blog and, furthermore, have invited back many other disillusioned former chatters. So far the new site is a roaring success. It is a pity that Saatchi.com would not help us keep the chat room as a vital place for intelligent and creative interaction, as one would have thought this would have been to their interest (and was, in fact, proclaimed as such). In the beginning Saatchi chat provided the opp Read more..

MICHAEL GENOVESE – IT’S NOT THE HEAT, IT’S THE HUMILITY

MICHAEL GENOVESE – IT’S NOT THE HEAT, IT’S THE HUMILITY Michael Genovese’s work operates as a reflection, both in a conceptual context and in a literal sense. This exhibition addresses a range of subjects, from Art History to American culture, pomposity to personal debt. The artist holds up a mirror in order to understand his identity and his role in relation to these subjects, while challenging the viewer to perform the same exercise. How we define ourselves, our choice of expression, the ways we are influenced by what we read and experience, all create cause for reflection and require a measure of humility in doing so. Genovese’s text engravings on high-polished aluminum pa Read more..

ZEN-THE WAY

A fresh new artist : Thona

“My name is Thona Samba. I am a fresh new painter from Paris, now living in London.
I always wanted to do something creative.....
At the age of 16 i was in a theatre troupe for two years.
Since then I've always tried to do something in the art.....
My paintings are very colourful. I like colours very much...........
Thona Samba can be described as a Conceptual Art Brut or Outsider painter. His paintings are colourful explosions that express complex philosophical ideas in a crude and naïve style. You either hate or love Samba’s work.

Define Sensuality

I paint from what I have seen and perhaps think.Know. Am struck by. Provoked by. One very valued friend remarked," I love ur work.. but miss your sensuality .." I began to worry : told him I would try. Just that there was a whole neighbourhood breathing down my neck... a few minutes later, there was this from another Friend..." Love the sensuality in your work ..." The painting in question is Woman at Well, the Story of a Biblical bad Girl, living with five, wife to none... The theme always intrigued me with its unwhispered secrets, acceptance and new beginnings.. The woman I have painted here wears the single wrapped clothing of Khujang tribals, deep Orissa...

Youth Violence in London Exhibition by young artist Pomichal

Opening night Game or Quarry Exhibition by Miroslav Pomichal Monday 22nd June 2009, 7 – 10 pm Czech and Slovak Club, 74 West End Lane, Hampstead, London NW6 2LX Miroslav Pomichal is a young London painter. His subjects are always drawn from current political and social issues. The ‘Game or Quarry’ project is an exposition of youth violence in London, and the almost unreal quality of the suffering that it inflicts on the most young and the most vulnerable groups in our society. Pomichal’s inks and watercolours speak with incredible power and force about a social problem that is impossible to grasp with photography. The desperation of the scenes is played out in a wor Read more..

A bird’s view of contemporary art concerns on art and artistic merit

A bird’s view of contemporary concerns on art and artistic merit “In 2003, under the title A Dead Shark Isn't Art, the Stuckism (1) international gallery exhibited Eddie Saunders’ shark(2), which had first been put on public display two years before Hirst's 1991, the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living, (3)in his Shore ditch shop, JD Electrical Supplies, and asked, "If Hirst’s shark is recognized as great art, then how come Eddie’s, which was on exhibition for two years beforehand, isn’t? Do we perhaps have here an undiscovered artist of genius, who got there first, or is it that a dead shark isn’t art at all?" The Stuckists suggested that Hirs Read more..

Brigitta Kocsis: Secret Mechanisms

Campbell River Public Art Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition by Brigitta Kocsis entitled Secret Mechanisms. Kocsis' new project will be shown at the Main Gallery and the Discovery Gallery.

Secret Mechanisms explores how technology can alter perception by interacting with the methods and processes involved in how the human body works.

Rebecca Geldard Top Ten Shows in May/June

Yeh Rebecca some cool shows there for sure. I went to see Tobias Rehberger and Matthew Burrows myself on Saturday and thought they were quite good. One criticism I would make thought would be(can we criticise) the chipboard used as support/surround for the wall mounted pieces and in Matthew Burrows I found the paint a touch on the thin side although the paintings were better than expected. I'll be keeping an eye open for more work from this artist. I'll go and see the others this week, particularly looking forward to that one at the Hayward Gallery. I love that colourful cartoony stuff that the japanese seem to specialise in.

Utterly new perspective to get an insight into the human soul

There is an utterly new perspective to get an insight into the human soul. These painted "Dreams and Nightmares" are not typical in a naturalistic sense. There are deep symbols and a rich sea of colours that show a way to reach into the unconscious mind that is very vital. The symbols are highly concentrated and therefore are not to be interpretated in a near sense but give way to sophisticated interpretation. Nevertheless this interpretation may be adequately brought to the point and show more from you, your own soul or the artists soul as an e.g. naturalistic picture or naturalistic dream, because there swing with so much connotations that are taken into account now and find a way Read more..

沉沦与超越

沉沦与超越 邹跃进 孟小为笔下的风景，题材并不复杂。往往以田地、房屋，院落为主。按海德格尔的说法，这些形象都可以视为人类在大地上的“居所”。这些“居所”，因为有了人的劳作，也就摆脱了单纯的物质性，获得了精神上的意义。孟小为似乎就是从这一方面来理解风景的，所以在画面上并不描写通常意义上的自然风景，而只是提取自然风景中一些较为完整的形象，赋予它们一种庄严、宁静的氛围和凝重、内省的情感基调，甚至具有一种宗教的意味。 整个画面的透视并不一致，例如，院落与地面的关系、屋顶� Read more..
