Alright! So I decided on a change of pace every now and again. 

I draw a whole lot of 2D stuff, how about a look at my 3D stuff?!

I took a few classes in ceramics and this was one of the first things I made! I love it, it’s like a little bowl to hold things in, but me being me, I made it casino themed and put some money inside it. 

Love it!

I also made a little camera! It’s cute! But it kinda looks like a glazed square donut! Lol!

Note- I will keep drawing and stuff, but I do like to sometimes post my own original stuff. Please bear with me, i promise this won’t interrupt other things planned.

Rho Milan Fair – HOMI Fair – 26-29.01.2018

The fair is focus on “THE LIFESTYLE TRADE FAIR”. This edition gather something around 82.000 visitors and 1463 companies. Fair represents mostly Italian market (80%) but also other participants of 39 countries (mainly Spain, France, Germany, Greek, India). Next to tableware sector, there were also interesting textiles, fashion, accessories, gifts, Christmas holidays (as I noticed, Easter is not so much visible commercial holiday in Italy). I have a pleasure to took some inspirations, photos and connections, like with inspiring SolimeneArt, wonderful porcelain from VEROlabshop, and my “neighbor” from Bologna MarcellaRenna.

From sections in fair I enjoyed tableware and textiles and sections of  HOMI Materials Culture, HOMI Creazioni, Daunoacento (“FromOneToOneHundred”).

Wonderful break was a walk through “Sensual Labirynt”, where attention could be activated not only by products, but also with image, touch, smell and sound.

Next edition is between 14 – 17 September 2018. Here below are some of my photos:

Once again we share some of the highlights from the Swab International Contemporary Art Fair, Barcelona. There were many fantastic artists to discover, here are our top five finds, in no particular order:

Juan Escudero in Galería Alegría, Madrid:

Galería Alegría represented Juan Escudero within the programme of Drawing Applications. Born in Bilbao and currently based in Barcelona, Juan Escudero’s drawings are simple, yet incredibly detailed, and form part of his series Piel (Skin). In them he explores the act of drawing a line and the natural wave and forms which can emerge naturally from that action. Using india ink, the artist draws line after thin line upon the paper, creating the effect of waves and textures from their varying closeness. They are abstract and process-lead drawings in which you can get lost and imagine different possibilities, one of which could be that they detail the relief of a landscape, like a topographic map.

Estefania Peñafiel Loaiza in Galerie Alain Gutharc, Paris:

Presented under Solo Swab, a programme curated by Direlia Lazo and Carolina Ariza which presents individual Latin American artists whose work is of a procedural and documentary nature. Estefania Peñafiel Loaiza, an Ecuadorian artist based in Paris, exhibited a fascinating project. In her piece Untitled (Extras), 2009-2014, the artist used an eraser to remove the bodies and faces of anonymous people found in newspapers. She collected the eraser residue of each individual and stored them separately in tiny glass vials. Presented are a few of the newspapers, in which we can see large blurred areas where she has erased, a display case filled with hundreds of glass vials, arranged and labeled like scientific specimens, and a list which documents each person erased (the newspaper and date they were taken from) and links it to the corresponding vial. A tribute to the “extras” in our everyday life and a reminder of the many things that go unsaid, unnoticed, or unrecognized.

Teresa Solar Abboud and Belén Zahera in Salón, Madrid: 

Shown within the Swab Seed programme, curated by David Armengol and representing independent spaces dedicated to contemporary art, Salón presented a compelling exhibition of ceramics. Based on a text from Gulliver’s travels, the project explores the physicality of language, playing with ways of representing words as objects, giving shape to a gesture or a vocal cord. Teresa Solar Abboud, for example, materialised sign language by moulding her clay based on the gestures, spelling out words like “chicken” by putting together the shapes imprinted by her hands when forming each letter. The objects were arranged on a shelving unit, and moved around each day and combined in different ways, creating new dialogues and connections every time.

Luisa Jacinto, Germán Portal and Gloria Martín in Galería Silvestre, Tarragona:

Galería Silvestre had a fantastic booth inside the Swab General Programme with many wonderful artists and an inspired presentation. While I enjoyed all their proposals, the highlight was discovering these three painters. Luisa Jacinto has a way with colour and brushstrokes, her paintings transmit a kind of serenity while retaining a sense of mystery which keeps the viewer wondering what is happening on the canvas. Germán Portal‘s paintings have a surreal edge. His large and striking painting, Figura al Sol,is clearly inspired by Picasso’s Nude Standing by the Sea, but in Portal’s version the figure is a structure made from cardboard templates. In this humorous series, Vanguardismo DIY, he questions the aura and glorification around certain works of art and artists. Gloria Martín‘s paintings are simple but contemplative and clearly thought-out. She takes everyday objects and visions and by virtue of the attention she shows them, she gives them an importance, turning them into mysterious and meaningful objects.

Javier Ayuso in 3k Art

3k Art is an online art platform which participated in the fair within the MYFAF programme of young galleries. What stood out the most in their stand was the work of Spanish photographer, Javier Ayuso. His series Walking Around (Sucede que me canso de ser perro) draws its inspiration from Pablo Neruda’s eponymous poem in which he reflects on the uncertainties and absurdities of existence and says “it so happens that I’m sick of being a man”. In his photographs Ayuso explores these concerns from the point of view of his dog, captured in moments where he appears almost human. Ayuso draws parallels between human and animals behaviors –encouraging the viewer to reflect upon the animal qualities which can perceived in human behavior as much as the human qualities seen in animals.
