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.
