Pictures from Isola Farnese trip

Tuesday the 20th of january, during period 6, the Art class went to Isola Farnese to study and draw some sketches of the ancient landscape based on the three word: time, texture, pattern. Below, some pictures of the trip:

Time-Texture-Pattern Painting

I am currently working on a painting based on the following themes:
TIME
TEXTURE
PATTERN
My painting is characterised by dark colours, almost as to display mystery, but not necessarily something negative. It is made up of various pictures I took:
- The bumby skin a frog in Holland
-One of my 10 cats drinking some water
-The fences in the garden of one of my parents' friends in Switzerland
-An ancient clock in the village of Bacharach, Germany
-Blinding and moving lights in the night in my native city, Sierre, Switzerland.

Alberto Giacometti is definitely my favourite sculptor and one of my favourite artists: he has been my greatest inspiration for my latest sculpture of an anorexic woman who's illusion is to appear beuatiful, like the models we see everyday on tv.
Alberto Giacometti has been considered as being a surrealist, an expressionist and a formalist sculptor and artist.
He also received an important prize regarding sculptures in general.

Flemish and Dutch art exhibition in Museo del Corso

If anybody has the intention of going to one of the best art exhibitions ever, go to Via del Corso and see the 1 hour 30 minutes-lasting exhibition on Flemish and Dutch of the 1600's artists such as: Vermeer, Rembrandt, van Dyck. The exhibition will stay till the 10th of February. In my opinion, it was one of the best exhibitions, not only because I am half dutch but also because many paintings were amazing but also because their artistic style, compared to most of the rest of the European artists, is completely different. It is an experience in life.

Hans Erni Art Exhibition- Fondation Pierre Gianadda

During my winter holidays, I went to one of the best art exhibitions I have ever been to, which displayed many works of art by the artist Hans Erni as well as some works of Picasso, Van Gogh and many others. Hans Erni was born in Lucern, the 21st of February 1909, and he is a painter, a drawer and a sculptor. Two of his paintings captured my attention the most: the first one, le Corégone, shows a dead and very realistic trout which is lying on an unfolded and used napkin, surrounded by sentences which form a very unusual although very artistic pattern. I think that those sentences, which look infinite and neverending on the painting, represent a story, a story which cannot be read by anyone because it cannot necessarily be understood and well-interpreteted by the person who looks at the painting itself. The second one, is called l'Arbre de la Connaissance (the Tree of Knowledge), it has been painted on a material known as 'pavatex' and is approximately 150 x 205 cm. The painting shows a tree with many branches holding particles of atoms, probably symbolizing the passage from one generation to another.
In the garden next to the museum, there were many sculptures too, such as:
- Stabile-Mobile (Alexander Calder 1898- 1976)
- Refining (Henry Moore, 1992, Bronze)
















-Le Grand Dialogue, Bronze, 1964- 1971 ( Alicia Penalba 1913- 1982)
and many other interesting, original, detailed and unusual sculptures.
