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.

Hello!

photo at opening of  last art show entitled, "White+White".  A real challenge.

Hello to  all.  I know it's been a long while since my last post but I have been very busy. I don't know when I will write a new post about  my art world but in the meantime I invite you to follow me on Instagram where my new work (and old) can be seen. sylvia_teri.

Thank you.  Hope to see you on Instagram.

BLACK AND WHITE

A stack of 25x25mm wood panels ready to be primed. 

 My new project is in preparation for a show in September with the theme of BLACK and WHITE and so my basement studio is working out fine. It hasn't any windows. A dark studio is not my first choice of spaces to work in because I love light, I NEED light.  But I don't have much choice until the heat dies down.

Starting to play with forms and textures on panels.

All the panels have been primed and are ready.

 As I play with  Black and/White, I'm using all kinds of materials, paints, Inks, charcol, chalk, and an idea is forming in my mind.  Since this show will be then used as a collective work for another art show in the Spring, "Il Libro d'Artista",  my panels are taking on the role of pages that present the characters in a story. I'm just toying with this idea now but  it will probably continue.....

Moving underground

I don't know where to begin . . . it's been  a while since my last post and a lot has happened. Let's start from NOW and see where things go.....

Here in Florence (Italy) the summer temps have been torrid to say the least. The weather forcasters have baptized the heat wave with the name "Lucifer"!  That should give you an idea of what we wake up to every morning. High 80's...90's and humid, very very humid.

So,  I've found it  hard to concentrate and to work.  

The other day, annoyed  with myself, I finally decided to pull out of this by moving underground.  That is, to the cool depths of our basement. 

Until I come back to publish a new post, find me on Instagram.. . .Sylvia.Teri.😎
