[ ART ] BUTLER : CLARITY IN CONTENT

March 02, 2017 in art

B U T L E R

' ... works predominantly capture the confidence of women with equally confident and precise lines, each stroke emphasizing the delicateness of their femininity. The illustrations feature women in their most natural element, nude, or half nude. Butler captures the myth of nudity and its synonymity with the erotic by dangling it upside down by the feet as a celebratory exhibit of the female form. It is precisely the artist’s unflinching clarity of vision that allows him to express something complex in as few lines as possible, allowing the audiences to discover the emotion, thoughts and make the connections themselves, filling in their own gaps, rather than imposing them.'

[ ART ] AI WEIWEI at THE MUSEUM OF CYCLADIC ART in ATHENS, GREECE

June 16, 2016 in art

A I W E I W E I a t C Y C L A D I C | A beautiful curation of works by contemporary artist and activist Ai Weiwei is currently on exhibit at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, Greece. A catalyst in his own right Ai Weiwei is a man of cultural and social importance, often challenging thought and provoking conversation with an underlaying narrative of political activism throughout his works. Conceptually complex yet visually accessible and engaging, it's through his modernist approach to story telling that the depth of his work is so clearly and effectively communicated.

Ai Weiwei at Cycladic, now through October 30th, 2016.
