This is proving to be a busy season show wize. I have another coming up that opens  this Saturday.  Am posting the invitation and will cover it completely

in the future.....

Internazional Prize Stefano Uzzi - Florence.

Connections - Red - Shapes -1, oil and cold wax a panel 50x60 cm

I applied for acceptance in this competition last Dicember not really thinking I would ever be selected in the final group but here I am!! the show opens this Saturday and I am really thrilled.
 If you go back to my past posts RED.02/04/15  and Who's afraid... 31/05/14 you'll see that I did a series of paintings using the forms of the spinal column and the color red.  These are the paintings that I used in my application that asked for 5 fotos of my work.

The notice arrived a week ago and the the above foto was selected for the collective show along with the painting below which should be in the catalogue.

Connections-Red- Shapes 2 -50x50cm , oil and cold wax on panel

I say SHOULD because you never are really sure of these things! When I was notified and read the list of artists selected, my name was spelled sIlvia with an I the way Sylvia is spelled in Italy and I wasn't sure they were talking about ME.  Because, when I searched Silvia Teri on the web  I actually found 3 other silvia's. Not until I clarified things with the committee of judges could I believe they had chosen my work. There were 4 catagories : painting, photography,sculpture , and graphics. In each group 10 artists were selected and one of these 10 was winner.  I was "selected" and will partcipate in this group show.  The winner is awarded a personal show.
I brought the painting to the gallery this morning and am preparing for Saturday.
The show, by the way, will be held in "The Casa di Dante-Society of Fine Art" in Florence.

INVASION - SHOW OPENING TODAY, OCT.6, 2018 FLORENCE.

I am participating in a 'fun' show that opens today  at Giambo Studio, Corso Tintori 6, Florence. but I don't have any pictures.  WE are many many artists all  showing  work done on paper size 40x40cm.   The work covers the walls of the gallery side-by-side, a tapestry of sorts,  an "INVASION"!!

Not possible to upload fotos so I will take some tonight and post them tomorrow.

(p.s. I didn't even take pics of my own work,  Too much going on this month!) Try looking up Giambo Studio, Corso Tintori 6 , Florence. That could work.)

This show was organized to participate in the day dedicated to AMACI, Associazione dei Musei d'arte Contemporanea in Italia, ie., the Asssociation of Contemporary Art Museums in Italy. Still haven't got fotos (forgot my iPhone cause i was late and had to search for my umbrella!  It was a rainy day yesterday.)!!!!

Here it is. a foto to prove as I said the tapistry setting of all art work. One of mine is at top right, Black with orange INVASION.  Sorry.  Couldn't do any better than this.  As soon as I have my  work back I will make fotos.


Have  A GOOD DAY AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING.

The new season has opened and I am participating in a collective show in a small town on the way south from Florence toward  Arezzo.  Organized by Fabio Rocca, the gallerist who has my paintings in the gallery's collection in Florence. The show is in an historic mill "La Filanda"  in Loro Ciuffenna and the video, if it is finally uploaded, will show you the interior and the show.
A really lovely show.!

The last show for this season. Open throughout the summer by appointment. At ART-ART

These paintings of mine are part of the  collective show at the IAC Gallery in Impruneta (FI) that will run until September when new activities will begin with the art group ART-ART. It will be open every day by appointment. 334 9533394 
 

Show : Theme: Movement 1968, at ART-ART Gallery, Imruneta, Italy.

This is an installation  of work that I  presented in a recent show at the gallery ART-ART in Impruneta, (FI) Italy.  The theme was reflections on the revoluntionary movement of the '68ers.
I chose the feminist aspects of the movement, the radical change in the role of women in society, the new sense of liberation in the attitude of  women toward themselves and their potential.

This is the entire installation: four paintings using oil and cold wax and four prints, mostly etchings recalling the various stages.




 This is the first painting to the left depicting the woman, a prisoner of the roles inflicted upon her by society with no freedom of thought or movement of her own.

This is the center painting, a diptich, oil and cold wax on canvas, represnting the conflict within the movement.

 

 To the extreme right, the third painting represents an exhuberant final freedom, a wild, uncontrolled dance with figures undefined, a victory- non-victory.

Below  are the  prints that I hung above the paintings to underline  the stages of the '68 movement.

And the final foto ....

hope you enjoyed the show.....!!

Whiite + White

After a sucessful show using only black and white,  the next challange was white + white. NOT an easy thing to do but fun trying. I'm posting the final results......

I'm posting this to give an idea of the surface texture..

Three separate pieces on thin wooden panels. Mixed media.
