A COOL, COOL, SHOW !!!!

my book hangng  at show in Pontremoli

It was a COOL show in sense of temperature (here we are still gasping under 100° temperatures daily). . . not in the slang sense meaning GREAT, although it was that too.       Judge for yourselves. . . . . .

entrance to the show in the undercroft of City Hall

The suggestive setting of the undercroft of City Hall, ancient stone walls, suggestive arches and niches. . . . We are 28 artists participating with a varied approach to the subject as you see  below. 

And more. . . .

Part of the undercroft still houses ancient stele found in the area but most of this important collection of sculptures, testimony of the ancient culture of this area called Lunigiana, has been moved to a new museum space in the Piangnaro Castle of Pontremoli.

I am happy to say that this will be the setting for my personal show which will be held in September.  More about that later . . .

The Open Book

IL LIBRO DELL'ARTISTA.0

the open book Measuring Space 100x75cm

I will be participating in an Art Show, The Book of the Artist.0 opening on Saturday in Pontremoli, the same town that sponsored the competion in May that awarded me first prize for painting. It is a last minute thing but I had a book-painting done in the past that I decided to propose. We will be taking it up tomorrow  It is so hot here in Florence that I don't have energy for doing much, not even painting. Will  write again when things cool a little.......

Two New Paintings

Two new paintings that will be included in my solo art show, part of  the  first place won in painting in the Pontremoli in Art competition last May.

There isn't a date yet but that's just as well because I need time to get all the details together and also to keep painting.

These new paintings  still use the spinal column as theme but with "motion" as the sub-title.Infact, they are entitled, "Connections-Motion 1 and 2, oil and wax on panel, 50x50cm.

It goes without saying that my mural project at Hotel Fontermosa fontermosa.it has been momentarily abbandoned to taken up again as soon as this wave of torrid temps leaves us. Most probably September will be the best time. The temps should be cooler.......
