Art For Life: Feeling art

Loved what John Frame said about art at  INKTALKS: Sculpting Visual Poetry

Whatever the artist is...whoever they have become...the moment they complete a work of art...is what that work of art will always contain (be it emotion, perception etc). It (the art) will always abide in that work from that point on.

I love this because he verbalized that relationship between the artist and the person experiencing the art. When you connect to a piece of art, go with your gut feeling because what you feel is perhaps what the artist was feeling too at the time. 

John Frame is a stop motion animator/scultpture>>>artist who has devoted most of his life to exploring what art means to him. Much respect. #education is key

From doodles to phones covers. My #artforlife journey continues

Everyone who knows me will support this fact: "Nini loves her berry". So when  Popmyberry (Malaysian company dealing in blackberry accessories & servicing) invited me to collaborate with them to come up with a few designs for their new "sticker" service I said, "Hells yeah!!"

I really didn't have a "concept" for the covers. One random night, I just sat myself down with some music and started "doodling" with my Indian Inks. 

I then sent them to my new friends at Popmyberry who in turn very kindly printed some samples out specially for my live painting cum solo exhibition yesterday.

These are the samples! The quality is pretty ON! It will go on sale this March so do follow @popmyberry on twitter for updates! (From left: Firebird, Peacock, Fishnet, Shells, Fleurs & Aeoki)

Aeoki above was a real favourite. Both samples were sold along with some other designs.

Soooo, anyway this is a quick post to update you. My #artforlife journey continues. I stand firm. Do what you love. Share. Collaborate and be happy doing it. 

Lots of love,

Nini

Live Painting at The Warehouse Gallery

I shall be doing some live painting this Saturday (25th Feb) at the Warehouse Gallery, Kuala Lumpur . Wheeeeee. I'm trying to play down the fact that I will also be displaying some of my art too. Eeeeekkk! They're calling it my first solo exhibition, I'd rather call it my work in progress!

I've been talking about my own exhibition for over a year now but its been stalled due to my other creative projects. I also have a day job, so taking time off to work on my art has not been feasible so far but if I keep on this route, I'll never have an exhibition! So its time I mooov and use opportunities such as these to work on my art and build my collection as I go! I really enjoy live painting anyway & I'm thrilled to be able to share my love for art with everyone like this.

The painting will begin at 5pm and will go on into the night. I shall be working on one canvas by myself while & another big one will be prepared (opposite me) for anyone to paint on, a community painting if you will. :) 

So to anyone who resides in Kuala Lumpur, do come over to The Warehouse Gallery this Saturday and paint with me! (Canvas and painting supplies will be provided, so all you have to do is come)

Lots of love,

Nini #artforlife
