L’intenzione è quella di presentare nello stesso spazio espositivo due esperienze visive frutto del lavoro di artisti che vivono e lavorano a Torino: Alessandro Antonello e Marco Pece.

Già attivi nella collaborazione su alcune opere a quattro mani (2001) ora espongono le proprie traiettorie di lavoro. Ecco così raccolta parte della loro produzione recente: dai quadri ad olio di studio sulla ritrattistica di Alessandro Antonello, fino alle fotografie di installazioni con materiale Lego Bricks di Marco Pece.

Un incontro (poco) casuale di rappresentazioni artistiche divergenti nelle tecniche e nelle tematiche, per offrire all’osservatore una breve ma nutrita immagine di arte contemporanea.

[Mirko Bretto]

Alessandro Antonello

L’insieme di opere che viene presentato (olio su faesite grezza) si costituisce come parte del lavoro ultimo prodotto nel biennio 2006-07 che si compone di circa una ventina di pezzi.

Le immagini vogliono condensare i fotogrammi di una storia, un racconto, una trama che i personaggi ritratti innescano e producono.

La linearità della composizione, la semplicità della scena unita al riverbero di luce vuole raccontare in maniera elementare, quanto espressiva la presenza di un essere umano.

Decifrare e tradurre la complessità di pensieri, vissuti, emozioni che abita i personaggi è compito di chi osserva e sta al di fuori del quadro: l’occhio dello spettatore.

Marco Pece - udronotto

Le opere presenti in questo allestimento sono frutto di una svolta nel mio genere di creazione.

Il tutto scaturisce dall’esigenza di appropriarsi del mondo dell’arte, rivisitandolo e trasformando la sua magnificenza e aulicità in semplicità e immediatezza di messaggio; per esprimere questo ho pensato a qualcosa che fosse molto riconoscibile come un gioco, in questo caso i mattoncini Lego Bricks.

Fedeltà all’originale, scelta di opere celeberrime, enfatizzazione del colore, ironia, provocazione contemporanea, tutto questo è il mio lavoro.

Tecnicamente queste installazioni vengono realizzate con molta attenzione ai particolari e successivamente fotografate. Con l’atto del fotografare l’installazione in quanto opera finisce di esistere e si riafferma come opera d’arte nell’immagine, testimonianza di tutto il lavoro.

Amo pensare che questi lavori nati per gioco, possano avere anche una funzione divulgativa, avvicinando chiunque all’arte dei grandi maestri, rivolgendosi a chi, pur adulto, ha conservato la voglia di giocare, sognare e stupirsi.

Qualcuno notando la mia prolungata assenza mi ha domandato se ero stato rapito dalla Lego, no, semplicemente il rapito da un tecnico era il mio computer che faceva le bizze.

Ora tornato ad esistere vi inonderò con foto della mia prima mostra.

Personalmente sono entusiasta della numerosa partecipazione e dei giudizi

ricevuti più che lusinghieri, qui su flickr devo ringraziare in particolar modo tutti i flickeriani che mi hanno fatto visita e chi mi hanno molte volte espresso il loro apprezzamento.

Grazie a chi mi ha aiutato nell'organizzare il tutto, in particolare

ad Alessandro Antonello che ha esposto le sue opere insieme a me,

a Mirko Bretto che si è occupato della comunicazione,

a Regolare che ha fatto le fotografie ed infine anche agli

architetti della Qbo che hanno messo a disposizione i loro spazi.

Estou pensando seriamente em fundar uma ONG: so_me_fodo.com.br, pra todos os doutorandos do Brasil!

Cara, que que a gente quer se meter a cientista nesse país em decrescente desenvolvimento? Por que a gente insiste em estudar se não tem um puto pra nos ouvir aqui dentro? O pior analfabeto é o que só sabe ler "Banco Central do Brasil" - nas cédulas de dinheiro.

Daí tu manda teu artigo pro exterior, manda carta pra orientador de fora, todo mundo quer tua contribuição. E a Pátria-Amada-Idolatrada? Salve-se quem puder!!!!!

Não reparem... estou hiperativa... dae a gente começa a escrever com muitas reticências... começa a desencavar fotos... better get rid of it all. You bet! (*thumbs up*!!!)

uhuhuuuu... que doença...

Adios. Boa quarta-feira a quem madruga... boa quarta-feira pros remolones tb, porque todo mundo é filho de Deus. ;D

RESIDENCIAS UNIVERSITARIAS.

Tres torres residenciales de 30, 26 y 20 pisos cada una de estas. Los tres edificios tienen una capacidad para 1.700 habitaciones o residentes quienes deben ser estudiantes universitarios o estar ligados a la academia. City U alberga estudiantes de pregrado, posgrado, profesores y empleados administrativos que quieren vivir en las bonitas y funcionales torres porque quieren disfrutar de la experiencia merecida de la calidad de vida que redunda en un bienestar que no es fácilmente cuantificable.

Las habitaciones están dotadas de todas las comodidades y por ello al abrir sus puertas se observa un entorno modular y práctico con cama sencilla o doble, closet, biblioteca, escritorio y silla, baño, mueble de cocina con microondas, estufa, nevera, barra o mesa de comedor, mesa de noche, wifi y servicio de cable, punto de conexión de voz y datos, servicios públicos de alta eficiencia, agua caliente, servicio de aseo una vez por semana y área de lavado de ropa totalmente equipado de tecnología y productos de la más alta calidad.

El lugar es supremamente agradable desde su entrada y de manera adicional cuenta con espacios de estudio, esparcimiento y recreación. Para garantizar el bienestar, City U acondicionó salones múltiples, gimnasio, salón de juegos, cafetería, sala de proyecciones, terrazas comunales, plazoleta de comidas y otros espacios de alto confort que hacen parte de los valores agregados.

Esta obra fue posible a una inversión inicial superior a los 70 millones de dólares en donde participaron como accionistas la constructora QBO, la firma Patrimonios Estratégicos Inmobiliarios, PEI, que actúa como fondo inmobiliario, SomoS Grupo y la promotora Convivienda.

For the first time in weeks, I sat down and did a random sketch just for me (no challenge, or prep for my class or sketch for a a project) and ah! it was just so good! I have been playing with colour a lot lately - mixing paints to make recommendations to my class and playing with new colours thanks to the special colour masterclass I had with Jane Blundell.

I made myself a new everyday palette but I have been thinking about an expanded palette to take to BCN. It is such a colourful city and I really want to MIX LESS so my washes and pigment interaction is more exciting on the page. Been looking through my BCN books and checking out the colours of the stones and all the amazing colours of the tiles/ mosaics…wow! We are going to have fun! So… I have been thinking about adding a few colours. Ha ha!

Some of you might have seen the white palette I had at T2 yesterday - it was a Ken Bromley palette that can hold 12 full pan and 8 half pans. I just did not like it at all- so much prefer a metal palette and the angled wells didn't work so good. So I transferred my paints into my square schminke tin and will trial that. It is heavier however…sigh!

Tonight this painting felt so good because I am using new colours. I have felt in a little bit of a rut with my paint last year… so these new pigments feel like a new lease of life. Also I can't recommend more highly the ramped paint in the pan - it is working wonderfully!!!

I don't want anyone to go and buy any new paints as a result of this palette as it is a testing one but for those as nutty as me…. this is what am I exploring (all Daniel Smith these days)

- goethite instead of natural sienna. Amazing granulation

- I mixed my own grey and put it in a pan (Jane's brilliant idea) Made it of my own beloved mixture of Quin Burnt Orange and Cobalt Blue Deep. It would have been better to have been a little bluer but I am excited by how granulating and separating it is despite being mixed together in the pan.

- Testing transparent Red Oxide in place of QBO (it was a tight decision to go with BQO when I did significant testing a few years ago)

- 2 greens …shock horror! I am not against greens in my palette, though have managed to survive without any for the last year or so. Jadelite and Green Apatite are amazing greens!

- Moonglow… we will see…

- Quin Purple - just testing this out. I am thinking a half pan of imperial purple might be more useful (when I want a mixed purple)

- Ultramarine (not French) is in there along with CBD… I want to wean myself off CBD as it is series 4 $$ and a little insipid. If I mix up my grey maybe I don't need it all.

- DS Cerulean Blue Chromium PB36. Stronger than the usual PB35 version.

- Loving Transparent Pyrrol Orange and Raw Umber.

Anyway- it was lovely to be able to paint with my paints rather than just mix colour. And WOW! look at the tea in the colour- that is just plain goethite! It is stunning!

Ok - here is my new palette - post colour mixing master class with total legend Jane Blundell www.janeblundellart.com/ (I can't put into words how great our session yesterday was - thanks again Jane!)

I am not sure how many people are that interested in this…but it is a great record for me to type this up. I blame this addiction to exploring pigments to Roz Stendahl - she did a post years ago (2009?) where she went through all her mixes and decisions. I started to research the pigments behind the names and what they did as a result of that.

Before I get into the pigments, one amazing tip I picked up yesterday from Jane was not to fill the pan fully. I have heard that before but always thought it was a little silly since the top bit is the easiest to pick up with the brush. I moved to full pans because 1. I go through paint too quickly 2. more importantly I was drilling down into the pans with my brush to pick up paint and ruining the tip of my sables. So, the brilliant idea is to fill the pans at an angle so you pick up paint on the side of the brush not the tip. I am going to see how easy it is to train myself for this new pickup of paint and work out which is the best direction.(I can fit in my pans either direction)

This is not a total new palette- I cleaned mine up and tried to introduce a ramp into existing pans. My palette felt SO self conscious when surrounded my Janes prisine palettes yesterday! Also my 'ramps' were not smoothed out yet when this photo was taken

Ok…ramblings about colours….. warning another one of my long blog posts!

All colours are now Daniel Smith except for WN Cobalt BLue Deep but I am planning to wean myself off that as it is series 4 and too expensive (surely I can find a grey mix that is as good….) So any colour below is referring to DS uno(unless noted otherwise)

We worked systematically through my list of list analysing each choice.

Previously I had two yellows - a cool (Lemon Yellow PY3) and a warm (New gamboge PY153 I LOVE the colour and it came into my palette in 2011 when I went to Lisbon . Hansa Deep is an alternative but more opaque) but we discovered that Quin Gold can do that job. I am also happy that I can mix light bright greens so no need for it to be a lemon yellow. Decided for a more mid yellow - Hansa Medium (PY97). This gained one spot - a good start!!!

I have never found a warm red that I liked - most are too strong and a bit opaque. I am also in love with the Sch Translucent Orange but could never justify having a dedicated orange colour (though VERY useful with all my trips to T2 and those orange napkins etc!) SO when I discovered a week or so ago there was a colour transparent Pyrrol Orange PO71 I knew I had to test it out - being a dark orange means that it could function as a red. It did not disappoint. It is also a perfect complementary for a pthalo blue (red shade) which is another quirk of mine.

I had done some research recently on the cool red spot and decided that Quin Rose PV19 made a good orange with yellow, lovely pinks when diluted and gorgeous purples with blue AND when mixed with my warm red makes a primary red. (this is an example of having a single colour that can mix different directions and truly multi-talented!) We did explore other options - some Jane had actually been doing recently. Quin Red, Sch Quin Magenta, Da Vinci Perm Al. Crimson….but happy with Quin Rose ( I might try quin red one day)

The rest of my palette (9 of them) is devoted to blues and earth colours… I am a brown and blue girl no doubt about it. A lot of that has to do with sketching a lot of architecture…and want lots of variations in browns and greys. And I just love blue too!

blues…

these haven't changed much except for trying more Daniel Smith. I love Indanthrone Blue PB60 as my dark colour- and use it for dark greens (instead of perylene green- another colour I love but can't justify in my palette).I make dark browns, indigo, black from it with QBO. It makes lovely deep purples as well.

Next spot - one of my peculiar choices Cobalt Deep Blue(PB74) instead of French Ultramarine . This colour is my standard blue and important for mixing purples and greens but also MOST important for my greys - blue grey or warm grey.. I just prefer the grey it mixes over a FUB. My next variation will be to try the DS Ultramarine instead of the French variety. It is slightly greener and makes better greens.

Cerulean - I have the wrong one PB35 - I need to try the PB36 Chromium version. This blue is great for skies and my more subtle moments (do I have them?) when I want soft greys or greens.

Pthalo Blue(red shade) PB15 I don't like the green shade version- too strong, but the red is less staining and a good match for our sky and still mixes lovely greens with Quin Gold. This is the main reason it is in my palette…and sometimes you do need a bright bright blue!

Earth Colours….

Earth Yellow - I am sticking with Monte Amiata Natural Sienna PBr7 - a transparent Raw sienna …though I really want to explore Jane's favourite Goethite and I did get a tube. Yellow Ochre is a more yellow earth colour but I prefer more transparent colours.

Earth Orange - This is the burnt sienna spot. Two pigments are used for this 'colour' - Pr101 transparent or PBr7 more plaque. I am definitely a PR101 girl (this is what Winsor and Newton use which was the first BS I used) and my favourite is Quin Burnt Orange. The other contenders are transparent red oxide and trying a more opaque burnt sienna for a change. But I am trying to get a VERY specific mixed grey so sticking with QBO!

Earth Brown (cool) - this is the NEW addition. DS Raw umber PBr7 is a beautiful cool brown colour (nothing like the WN raw umber) and I am looking forward to exploring what this does. I think it is going to give me some good greys! I did have Burnt Umber in this spot but it can easily be mixed, I love the coolness of Sepia but it has Black and a huge drying shift. So raw umber is an exciting discovery!

Personal (Crazy?) colours

Jane and I were laughing - she is a Buff Titanium fan…while I use potters pink PR233 for the same reason. I use PP to add granulation and mute colours. Love it! Mix it with a yellow and you get great creams (as in jam and scones!)

And my latest craze CobaltTurq light - trying the DS version combat Teal PG50.

Ha! Can you tell 1. I am having fun 2. I love colour!

BTW guess what we are going to be looking at tomorrow during my sketching class at manly…. hmm, COLOUR! But I am NOT going to mention a single pigment number, I promise!!!

I have been feeling a little tense that it is less than 2 weeks till I leave on a big overseas trip and I don't know what colours are going to be in my palette. Well tonight I made the final decisions. The shocking thing is that I am not taking Quin Burnt Orange or Cobalt Deep Blue …well not as separate colours. They will be there in my mixed "steel's grey". This means that I am taking Transparent Red Oxide instead..the big battle between TRO and QBO had a surprising result. I um-ed and ah-ed about the greens and in the end Jadeite won…even though it has some fun granulating effects.(can always buy a pan of W&N if it doesn't work out) I just love Indanthrone BLue and use it often to mix my blacks..so it took the place of the second green. Also I have a hankering for a mixed purple in my palette.

WHilst there is little merit in sharing these messy mixing pages with you all as such, I hope that you can understand the process that I am going through. I am testing the colours and my standard mixes to see what are the most versatile.

I am very excited about my radical palette change in recent weeks - the colours I am getting on my page (on the rare occasions when I get a chance to sketch) feel so vibrant and fresh and new… and hoping they will lead to a new step in my painting when my holiday (vacation) begins next week.

Now my only decision is how many pans of each to take….
