Peter Chan’s “Fata Morgana” at Galerie Youn.

Currently on display at Galerie Youn in Montreal, Canada is artist Peter Chan’s exceptional looking solo exhibition “Fata Morgana.”

Seeking to explore the mysteries of idealized memories, “Fata Morgana” connects the classical with contemporary through imagery influenced by the past but affected by 21st century light.  Sculptures by Rodin and Bernini are bathed in hues from unnatural, technicolor lighting.  Faces are dimly lit from the screens of iPhones.  Moments are missed due to preoccupation, captured on canvas by Chan’s brush.  Why do we hold these moments so dear?  Were they really that special?  Chan certainly paints them that way but leaves us questioning - as he sought to do - our perceptions.

“Fata Morgana” is on display until October 15th, 2016.

More than 55 internationally known artists contribute to the newest show at beinArt Gallery in Australia. “Small Works 2016” is a massive exhibition, full of works on a smaller scale, as each piece is less than 10×10 inches. Yet these works, whether they’re oil works on canvas, mixed-media sculptures, acrylics on wood, or porcelain pieces, pack nuance and new worlds within their meager dimensions. “Small Works 2016” kicks off with an opening reception on Sept. 17, 6 p.m. through 8 p.m. The exhibition runs through Oct. 9 at the space.

Uninterpreted feeling is for me a painful state.

Helen Vendler, The Art of Criticism No. 3 (via theparisreview)

[kendell]

The greatest art moves the viewer in a positive way, touches perhaps dormant sensibilities inherent in human nature, and awakens and fortifies man's better qualities... Compassion, empathy, sympathy-- these are all aspects of man's better nature.  To change people for the better--what more noble purpose could an artist be called upon to fulfill?  To what higher calling could we aspire?

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves ! 

Some of the following pieces were made by other artists:
