Anya Gallaccio - Red on Green at Centre Pompidou, 2013

“10,000 red roses are displayed in the choir of St-Vincent Church offering a fascinating visual and sensory experience. The depth of the hints of red mingles with the voluptuousness of the fresh flowers’ perfume and the excess of the mass of roses. Meticulously arranged into a tightly packed rectangle that might recall the principle of the gardens design or the archetype of the vocabulary of modern art, the flowers however evade the simple formalism or the mere sensory satisfaction. Indeed, thorns remain underneath the velvety petals, ready to trap those who would try to touch it. For Anya Gallaccio, natural processes of transformation and the announced disappearance of this sublime beauty is more important than the sentimental reference.”

Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui

"When you pick a medium, you stay with it for some time. You don't do one or two pieces with it and then flit onto another one, because that way you wouldn't be able to get into understanding that medium, and therefore be able to get something intrinsic out of it."

Anne Lindberg (USA)

Anne Lindberg’s recent work essentially redefines space using thread. Bordering the definintion of architecture and sculpture, Lindberg allows color and light to manipulate the hundreds of millimeter-thick strands to create a web – a three-dimensional volume affixed to the architecture. Each of her pieces is specific to the place in which it is situated, no two identical based on the architecture, its lighting conditions and the space’s use. The pieces are architectural in so far as they are “contextual and integral to the space”, she says. (src. ArchDaily) © All images courtesy of the artist

I don’t think you can genuinely love creating art unless and until you face people who don’t love what you’ve created. Once you’ve been confronted with people who don’t have the highest praise for what you’ve created, then you can be honest with yourself and decide whether or not you’re in it for the right reasons.
