ART VIEWS
MIAMI BASEL DECEMBER 2023
ARTBOX PROJECTS based out of Switzerland exhibited my latest painting Woman in a Red Turban (After van Eyck) in their booth at Spectrum Art Fair as part of Miami Basel.
When Jan van Eyck painted Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban in 1433, he was well into middle age and had reached a level of accomplishment that few artists of his
time could ever hope to attain. His uncanny command over the relatively new medium of oil paint won him the patronage of the rich and powerful. The iconic painting
is believed to be the artist's self-portrait.
My self-portrait, Woman in a Red Turban (After van Eyck), was prompted by a desire to engage in creative dialogue with one of the greatest artists in history. I was inspired not only by the technical challenges but by the prospect of turning inward and assessing my own creative achievements at a similar point in my life.
All of van Eyck's paintings bear the words AIC IXH XAN,
loosely translated from the Greek as I DO AS I CAN. Scholars have posited that the artist may well have intended it to mean I DO AS (ONLY) I CAN, a nod to his
superior talent. I have hijacked van Eyck's personal motto but from the perspective of a woman, a mother and a wife. A very different connotation.

VIVA LA FRIDA
Mount Dora Center for the Arts , Florida SEP-OCT 2023
I couldn't resist entering the Viva La Frida call for art with this oldie but goodie. Frida Kahlo has had such a massive influence on artists and art lovers, myself included. Her iconic, symbolic imagery is so rich and unique.
She is known and revered not only for her art but for who she was and what she stood for - groundbreaking creative expression and fierce independence (not to mention her famous unibrow!).
I created this digital image called Artist's Son as Frida Kahlo years ago to give homage to Frida.

EXIBITED AT BLUE LINE ARTS GALLERY AND WINNER OF
SUNSPOT LITERARY MAGAZINE EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD
This ceramic sculpture was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine, the iconic Renaissance painting. I wanted to re-interpret in clay. The landscape in the keyhole is from another da Vinci painting. I had no idea what an ermine looked like to be honest! When I started researching, I discovered the most adorable creatures, unfortunately hunted and farmed for their fur. I was delighted to be accepted into the International Clay exhibition at Blue Line Arts in California. My sculpture will also be featured in the 2021 'Geminga' Fall edition of Sunspot's highly selective literary magazine.

'Elbow Deep' by Lilianne Milgrom (Full article here)
Wayne Perry’s decades-long ceramics career has been characterized by an unwavering determination to create authentic work in keeping with his beliefs and principles. One of the noteworthy aspects of this Los Angeles–based artist’s multi-faceted career is that it was largely unplanned and rather serendipitous. He explains, “I never set out to be a ‘Black potter’ or a ‘Black artist’ in the same way that I never set out to be a ceramic artist, but here I am, elbow deep in clay.” I very much enjoyed talking to Wayne about his work and how he uses the medium of clay to voice his views on life, culture and politics.

Paris in the late 19th century and early 20th century was a period of unprecedented artistic profusion that gave the world more than its fair share of iconic art. It was the perfect storm – an unnaturally large number of incredibly talented, progressive artists congregating in a city reputed for its laissez-faire, intellectual atmosphere as much as for its legendary beauty. This period in art history makes for ripe pickings for authors.
