Each of these, in its own way is like a visual haiku to me.
"Winter is that time of year, when so much has been taken away, that what is left is even more beautiful."
Garrison Keillor - Prairie Home Companion
A series of assemblages and mixed media paintings by Chiew Sien Kuan (Singapore) displayed along the Esplanade Tunnel during A Little Love Story in Singapore.
A tranquil, minimalist, and layered aesthetic.
The work emphasizes the purity of line and form, creating a visual rhythm.
The images are more than just documentary; they are poetic expressions of the earth's texture and vitality.

GRAFFITI
Entendida como una de las expresiones de arte urbano más populares y características de la actualidad, el graffiti no es más que un dibujo o una obra de arte pictórica realizadas en las pares y muros de la calle. Así, el graffiti no se mueve o muestra dentro de círculos intelectuales o privados de arte sino que se caracteriza por ser expuesto de manera pública para que todos lo vean y disfruten día a día. El graffiti es por lo general anónimo y puede tener diferentes objetivos en lo que respecta a la razón de su realización: mientras algunos son meramente artísticos, otros son formulaciones políticas, otros de protesta y muchos otros son simples mensajes sin mayores pretensiones.
La palabra graffiti proviene del italiano y se relaciona con la idea de grafito o de expresión gráfica. Justamente, uno de los elementos más característicos del graffiti es que se realiza siempre de manera gráfica y visual. Por lo general, el graffiti no sigue reglas artísticas más que la misma libertad de expresión del autor, y es por eso que mientras algunos son realmente complejos y verdaderas obras de arte, otros son simples frases escritas con cierta violencia en las paredes o puertas de negocios.
Se estima que los graffitis son siempre realizados por las generaciones más jóvenes que se encuentran opuestas al mundo conservador e institucionalizado de los adultos. En este sentido, en muchos países el graffiti es un delito ya que es considerado suciedad o daño de la propiedad privada. Sin embargo, en diversos lugares el graffiti ya está integrado al tejido urbano y es considerado una verdadera e importante forma de expresión cultural y popular.
Hoy en día, los graffitis se han revigorizado en muchas ciudades ya que se utilizan stencils de gran complejidad e infinitos diseños para establecer ideas o puntos de vista. Algunos de ellos son graciosos, otros cuentan con una importante ironía, pero todos lo hacen desde un lado artístico que debe tenerse en cuenta más allá del hecho en sí del graffiti.
from the visual journal that I've been working on, started on '09 and now continued. Most of the images in the 2022 section come from a French children's book on zoology, "Pour les tout Petits,Lectures sur les Animaux."
Ever have love / hate feelings about your photography? Of course you do, you're an artist! I had been working on this image, in color, and to be honest it was really pretty, almost too pretty that it bothered me. It was actually so pretty that it was boring; a safe image of a lotus with green lily pads off the right. So I turned it black and white, and fiddled with it a bit, and yet still had this love / hate thing going on. So then I did the equivalent of vandalizing it . . . pixel vandalism! Now, that's better.

I had been 'playing' with this concept for a while in my head. I called it (instead of the Silence of the Lambs) the Silence of the Bird. When I had the final result, it came to me immediately: VISUAL SILENCE.
I don't often 'dive' into the digital 'magical' darkroom that photoshop can be, but for certain projects it is a great creative tool!
Here, in the case of visual silence, what is being absorbed is not sound but gaze.
If silence is the absence of noise, then this visual silence is defined as the gradual absence, the vanishing, of what surrounds it, where we burrow from the visible surface to the invisible core.
Our focus on the image involves a diminution of the optic field:
in this sense, visual silence is like a poem, its power arising from its sheer vulnerability.
The image cannot be penetrated even by the most powerful of gazes because it is already open, in full view... and yet the transparency of the image, one that does not attempt to hide anything, is still capable of mystery.
Visual silence arrests us because it is the interface between two realms of partial knowledge: between he who does not know he is being watched and those who do not know what they are watching.
Some images leave us speechless, we watch them in silent awe.
Ultimately the camera is merely an extension of the human eye, it only sees and cannot wholly know what it is seeing.
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.
May PEACE be with you and thanx for everything, M, (*_*)

I’m deliriously tired so that might have been a strange review lol.
Re-THINGing Gesture in Contemporary Sculpture Practice displayed at Esplanade Jendela (Visual Art Space).
By doing the Visual Study from the beginning I felt that it was not going the way I wanted, not having control of the charcoal, It was hard for me to take on the shape and the spaces that I needed. I was struggling but managed to continue on the basic shape of the art work in front of me and little by little I have managed to give few details also creating waves of patterns by using the charcoals as well as using shadowing in my work which made the visual project stand out more.
I'm entering this in a call for visual journals by the Brooklyn Sketchbook Library to be put in a time capsule for 50 years (!). I've decided the theme will be birds, with the Emily Dickinson quote in mind, "I hope you love birds too. It's economical. It saves going to heaven."
Great Egret, Airborne. Central Valley, California. January 16, 2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A great egret flies past, skimming above wetland plants
In some ways these magnificent birds are very accessible, but in other they can be hard to photograph in interesting ways. They are common at the locations where I frequently photograph birds, and when I have decent cover (shooting from a vehicle or similar) I can frequently get relatively close to them without scaring them into flight. The key is a very slow and cautious approach and sensitivity to the body language of the bird — there are often hints when egrets think that I am getting too close. From just outside that boundary the egrets are large enough to fill the frame in good conditions, and I have lots of photographs of them on the ground feeding. Perhaps too many!
That's the problem. An egret on the ground is interesting, but not often quite as interesting as an egret in the air. (Grounded egrets can be beautiful in the right light and with the right background and so forth.) In flight they are beautiful birds, typically using slow wing motion and often gliding, and they assume impressive poses when taking off and when landing. However, the lift off is sudden and the flight path typically takes the bird away from me. But sometimes I get lucky, as I did with this specimen. I was actually unaware of its presence and, in fact, it may have been unaware of mine. I had stopped to photograph something else when the bird suddenly flew into range from my left and passed in front of me as it made a gentle turn around my position. I've learned to react fairly quickly and to get the camera up and tracking, but in the best of circumstances it is still a challenge. The first couple of frames are almost humorously off-target, but then I found my subject and centered it in the frame as it passed by very closely.
