Ollos hyva, mukavaa viikonloppua myos sinne!
Tuo sinipukuinen nainen hevosella ja muutkin saman aiheen hahmot olivat kyllä vaikuttavia,samoin kuin nuo valokuvat.

Kannattaa googlettaa noita taiteilijoita, lisaa kuvia loytyy vaikka kuinka paljon.
Tajuaa myos sen kuinka kansainvalisia kaikki taiteilijat ovat!
Tama ARS oli mielestani todella onnistunut!
Kiitos uusintakierroksesta, kävin katsomassa ARSia heti kun se aukeni, joten siitä on aikaa. Oli mukavaa muistella uudestaan nähtyä.

This liked this exhibition a lot! It fineshes on Sunday – interesting to see what’s coming next….
I like the artistry of the horseman and his steed – the horse is big, but can be managed to assist the man in his quest. The horse and rider as one…
Odita offers a neat 3-D geometric feel, the colors so bold! What a neat museum!

Sophie must be my guardian angel or my patron saint!
SHADOWY DELIGHT
Shadows above me, shadows below,
Shadows beside me, wherever I go;
Shadows each morning, shadows at night—
Shadows, O shadows, you’re my delight!

An intriguing series! The snake created from oil canisters is so clever! And the maid in blue dress on a horse is stunning!

Thanks for sharing all this fascinating art-and some shadows too!
The works by Maru Sibande are my favorites. I would love to read more about the story behind Sophie. I like all of the works, but hers are the ones that touch me the most. Lots of great shadows. Such a nice collection for us to see. genie
Where is my shadow,
I can’t find her anywhere,
I’m lonely without her.
If the lighting’s right
and I am out in the yard
I bet she’ll be there.
That will make me smile,
My loneliness will then end
I’ll be with my friend.

HI EVERYBODY!
Thanks for your visits and comments!

Happy Monday!

Hi again! Yes that is acrylic paint-that is my kitchen table but mainly used as an art table! Thanks for the Sadie comment too-she is a real sweetie!
Sarah recently posted..Books, Art and Collections
The artwork certainly makes you think. I especially liked the one about the waste in Ghana demonstrated by a huge wheel. Also the African president portrayed in so many different characters. it’s been a while since I came over. Glad to see you’re still showing your inspiring photos.

Thanks for the photos.
I was very interested in the refugee camp option. It looks almost practical, but the top bunks might be a bit risky.
The whole page has thought provoking art.
