Thank you for all your kind comments, awards, and invites, much appreciated!

Este proyecto parte como solución a la cuarentena que estamos sufriendo, al tener Asma me veo totalmente forzado a trabajar dentro de casa. Siendo hiperactivo es una especie de condena. Siempre me gustó la idea de mezclar la fotografía con las diferentes artes. Lo que buscaba era lograr algo tridimensional en una bi-dimension y sugerir esa mirada microscópica o totalmente contraría, un escape al encierro, una cura a la cuarentena, al virus y a mí. Un escape abstracto al encierro mental…

This proyect born as an answer to the quarantine, as an Asthmatic I'm really worried and forced to be inside home. I'm hiperactive too so been in this situation is a kind of confinement.

I always liked the idea of mix photography with diferents kind of visual arts. What I wanted was to get something tridimesional in a 2d image and sugest something microscopic or totally opossed like an abstract scape to the mental closure.

"The Regiment of Trees (2017-2019)

Carved by Patrick Walls from Hill House Edge sandstone, The Regiment of Trees commemorates Lord Kitchener’s inspection of troops – all from the 2nd London Division of Kitchener’s New Army – on Epsom Downs in January 2015. Twelve figures stand among a mix of native broadleaf trees, evoking stories of the harsh blizzard conditions in which the 20,000 volunteer soldiers waited for Kitchener’s arrival, some not even fully kitted out. Together, the sculptures and trees create a living tribute to the civilian men who answered the call to join Kitchener’s New Army." - The Woodland Trust

After commenting on a friends picture. Where she promised to answer honestly, any question. I thought it might be fun to try the same....... ask away

part 1, sketch: where part of the universe asks another part of itself a question.

A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV

Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?

Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.

 

Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?

Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.

A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.

 

Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?

Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics

(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)

• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.

• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.

• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.

• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.

• Warm and bright colors.

• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.

• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume

• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions

• No interest in anatomy.

• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.

I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings

 

Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?

Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,

I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one

Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.

 

Question: raphael perez are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem

Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today

In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs

 

Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your city paintings

Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:

In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,

 

In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more

 

I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed

In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city

 

Question: Have you created series of other cities from around the world?

Answer: I created series of New York City with all the iconic and famous buildings such as: the Guggenheim Museum, the famous skyscrapers - the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Lincoln Center, the famous synagogue in the city, the Statue of Liberty, the flags of the United States and other famous buildings

Two paintings of London and all its famous sites, Big Ben, famous monuments, the Ferris wheel, Queen Elizabeth and her family, the double bus, the famous public telephone, palaces, famous churches, well-known monuments

I created 4 naive paintings of cities in China, a painting of Shanghai, two paintings of the city of Suzhou and a painting of the World Park in the city of Beijing... I chose the famous skyline of Shanghai with all the famous towers, the famous promenade, temples and old buildings, two Paintings of the city of Suzhou with the famous canals, bridges, special gardens, towers and skyscrapers of the city

Today's airbrushed style pinup photo features Melissa in this salute to the WW2 Jeep! Answering a call from the US Army for automobile makers to replace the ageing WW1 vehicles in the face of the upcoming WW2 conflict, two different companies jumped into process. Only 11 days later, bids were received by Willys-Overland Motors, American Bantam, and eventually the Ford Motor Company. Bantam won the contract, but couldn't sustain production need for war and as such Willys and Ford were given the blueprints to develop and improve upon Bantam's design. Each company made their own version of the Bantam design in 1941 and began to produce their own models (Willys making the 'MA': 'M'ilitary model 'A' and Ford making the 'GP': 'G'eneral 'P'urpose). In mid-1941 the government decided to select one of the companies to produce their vehicle in order to standardize production. Willys won the contract after improving upon the earlier model and incorporating the best parts of the Bantam and Ford designs. The resulting vehicle was called the 'MB' (Military model B). When Willys couldn't keep up with the demand, Ford was asked to help produce the MBs which were then called GPW (General Purpose Willys). Willys produced over 360,000 MBs and ford produced over 280,000 GPWs. The Jeep would go on to be one of the most iconic vehicles of all time with post-war versions of the military Jeep being produced into the 1960s. You can still see some designs of the original Jeep in many of the current Jeep company models.

New Zealand is in the unenviable position of having one of the highest drowning rates per capita in the OECD, approximately twice that of Australia. Why are there far fewer drownings (per capita) in Australia than in New Zealand?

Gus Bodnar - August Bodnar (April 24, 1923 – July 1, 2005) was a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who was the Calder Memorial Trophy winner as the National Hockey League's rookie of the year for the 1943–44 season. He played 12 seasons in the NHL from 1943 to 1955, for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Black Hawks and Boston Bruins.

 

Playing career - A native of Fort William, Ontario, Bodnar started his career with the local Fort William Rangers of the Thunder Bay Junior A Hockey League. He played for the Rangers for three seasons from 1941 to 1943 and competed for the Memorial Cup twice in 1941–42 and 1942–43.

 

After leading the TBJHL in points in 1942–43, Bodnar joined the Toronto Maple Leafs. On October 30, 1943, Bodnar scored his first ever NHL goal 15 seconds into his first NHL game, setting the record for the fastest goal by a player in his first NHL game. Bodnar scored 62 points during the regular season, a career-best, and he beat Montreal Canadiens rookie goaltender Bill Durnan in voting for the Calder Memorial Trophy in 1943–44. He spent four more seasons with the Maple Leafs and won two Stanley Cups in 1944–45 and 1946–47. Bodnar had 40 assists in his rookie season in 1943–44, which would set a record for assists by a Maple Leafs rookie until surpassed by Mitch Marner in 2016–17.

 

In 1947–48, Bodnar and fellow linemates Gaye Stewart, Ernie Dickens, Bud Poile and Bob Goldham were traded to the Chicago Black Hawks in exchange for Max Bentley and Cy Thomas. Bodnar remained in Chicago for seven seasons from 1947 to 1954. He also played in the NHL All-Star Game in 1950–51. On March 23, 1952, Bodnar set another NHL record by recording three assists in 21 seconds. With that record, he also helped teammate Bill Mosienko set the record for fastest hat-trick in NHL history. In 1953–54, Bodnar was traded to the Boston Bruins midway through the season. He would remain with the Bruins for one more season in 1954–55, before retiring.

 

Coaching career - Bodnar retired from playing hockey in 1955 but later came back to coach. Bodnar coached in the Boston farm system with the Lakeshore Bruins in the Metro Jr.B league, they won the League Championship in 57/58 and went to the OHA Jr.B Championship round. He was the coach and manager of the Toronto Marlboros from 1967 to 1968. He coached the Marlboros to a Memorial Cup championship in 1966–67. In 1970, Bodnar was named head coach of the Salt Lake Golden Eagles in the WHL. He remained there for one season before signing on as head coach of the Oshawa Generals in the OHA from 1971 to 1976. He was the recipient of the OHA Coach of the Year Award in 1971–72.

 

Bodnar was elected to the Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 1983, and the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. On July 1, 2005, Bodnar died at the Lakeridge Health Unit in Oshawa, Ontario.

I really try very hard to answer the questions, but it's still all in a mess.

I cannot but to suppose it's due to the bad questions.

I hope that rather than good-record students, the teacher would like the one who can express free.

Der Rhabarber, auch Gemüse-Rhabarber oder Krauser Rhabarber (Rheum rhabarbarum) ist eine Nutzpflanze aus der Familie der Knöterichgewächse (Polygonaceae). Die geschälten oder ungeschälten Blattstiele werden unter anderem zu Kompott verarbeitet.

Ursprünglich stammt Rhabarber aus der Himalajaregion. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurde er in Russland angebaut und gelangte im 18. Jahrhundert auch in andere Teile Europas. Über Frankreich und die Niederlande kam er nach England, wo der Anbau seit 1753 belegt ist. Die Treiberei wurde als erstes von Gärtnern in Chelsea betrieben. Der erste gewerbsmäßige Anbau in Deutschland erfolgte 1848 in Hamburg-Kirchwerder und breitete sich von Norden nach Süden aus. 1937 betrug die Anbaufläche in Deutschland 1700 Hektar, 1993 zwischen 350 bis 400 Hektar. Seit 1947 wird Rhabarber in den USA gesetzlich als Obst betrachtet.

 

The rhubarb also vegetable rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) is a crop from the family of the buckwheat family (Polygonaceae). The peeled or unpeeled stems are processed into compote.

Originally rhubarb from the Himalayan region. In the 16th Century it was grown in Russia and arrived in the 18th Century in other parts of Europe. About France and the Netherlands, he came to England, where the cultivation is occupied since 1753. The forcing was operated first by gardeners in Chelsea. The first commercial production in Germany was in 1848 in Hamburg-Kirchwerder and spread from north to south. In 1937 the acreage in Germany in 1700 acres, 1993 between 350 to 400 acres. Since 1947 Rhubarb in the United States is legally considered a fruit.

Oh Rover! So many grand ideas, so little effort! The Rover CCV (Coupé Concept Vehicle) could have been the answer to the company’s prayers in the late 1980’s. But instead is just another one of those missed opportunities that we can only look back on and imagine a world where this idea had been taken up.

 

In the mid-1980’s, Rover was undergoing a turbulent time as the company’s ownership changed hands. Sick to death of having to deal with it, the Thatcher Government decided to break up the nationalised conglomerate known as British Leyland, which had been suffering from poor reliability and hopelessly bad car design. By the beginning of the 1980’s, BL faced a defining moment when it made a deal with Honda to help create cars of better engineering than the Allegro and Marina it was trying desperately to get rid of. The result was the Montego, the Maestro, the Triumph Acclaim and the Rover 200, based largely of Honda products such as the Ballade and the Legend. Though much more reliable and selling well, the profits reaped were nowhere near as great as those being collected by rivals Ford, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, largely due to two factors. One; the unreliability that had plagued BL throughout the 70’s was still very much in evidence during the 1980’s, and these well-engineered cars suffered greatly from that. Two; many people found themselves questioning why they should buy a Rover, especially when considering that Honda was providing a near identical car for half the price!

 

All these problems and more meant that British Leyland had to come up with a new strategy, and in the mid-1980’s assigned a crack team of engineers to create a new range that would help the company define the 1980’s. In 1986, Rover was sold by the UK Government to British Aerospace, with the Austin badge now dropped and the only remaining marques being MG, Rover and Land Rover, this new private company being dubbed Rover Group. In 1985, MG proposed a 180mph supercar known as the MG EX-E, a smooth and sophisticated machine that could have been a contender for one of the best supercars of the 1980’s if the company had decided to go through with it. Sadly the MG EX-E was never meant to be due to fears of spending huge amounts of cash on a not very profitable niche market, but attempts to create a car of similar design both on a technical and cosmetic level, this new machine being aimed at the mass customer market.

 

Dubbed the Rover CCV, the car made its debut at the 1986 Geneva Motor Show, and was intended to be a coupe version of the upcoming Rover 800. Designed by Roy Axe, the company’s chief designer, the CCV basically shared the same underpinnings as the 800, which share the same underpinnings as the Honda Legend including a 2.0L Rover Straight-4 or a 2.7L Honda V6. The design however carried over many assets of the MG EX-E project, including a large overall glass roof and windows, a low, smooth body profile, colour coded and blended bumpers, and just an overall handsome aesthetic. In fact, the styling looks almost like some American cars of the 1990’s such as the Chevrolet Corsica or the Buick Skylark. The interior was also mocked-up for his prototype and boasted solid state instrumentation and a dashboard mounted CD player (very novel back in 1986).

 

So beautiful and sleek was this machine that it even wooed the US market. In 1986, Rover Group, and the previous British Leyland, were desperate to regain a foothold in the United States, the last car that was sold there being the Rover SD1, of which only 774 left the showroom. The CCV however got many American investors on board, especially with a huge market for two-door coupe’s in the mid to late 1980’s. Rover’s enthusiasm was high for such a project, and many envisaged the CCV being the new California Cruiser, the primary ride for those aspiring business executives out in Los Angeles. The project to sell cars in the United States was eventually dubbed Sterling, as due to the unreliability of the Rover SD1 heavily damaging the Rover reputation in America, the company was reluctant to show its face again without going via a third-party or under an assumed name.

 

However, once again the biggest problem that hampered any good idea that Rover ever had, was itself. While US and British investors were highly enthusiastic of the CCV project, the Rover management refused to commit to such a project, largely due to the poor sales of the Sterling project. Sterling was launched in 1986, selling what were essentially rebadged Rover 800’s as the Sterling 825 sedan, and even though the Rover 800 is a good car in its own right, the rather humdrum design mixed with biblical unreliability and the fact that the Honda Legend was also on sale in America for half the price but twice the performance, meant that sales for the Sterling were abysmal, with only 14,000 of the forecast 30,000 cars actually being sold. These alarming results made Rover (in its usual cool, calm and collected manner) panic and the CCV project was scrapped entirely in 1987. The Sterling project would lumber helplessly on until 1991, when, after losing cash like water, it was removed from the US market, with no more British mass-production cars being sold in America ever again.

 

Guys, it breaks my heart! The Rover CCV truly could have been the answer to all the company’s prayers if they’d just bitten the bullet and put the thing into production! Rather than rushing into the project blindly in an attempt to get cash in ASAP, Rover should have delay the launch of Sterling by another year, launching both the Sterling 825 and CCV simultaneously, so if the 825 failed to sell the CCV and its beautifully crisp design and overall contemporary feel, could have picked up its slack. Also, an overhaul of the company’s quality control and work ethic should have also been a part of this major image change, sending cars out which actually were reliable, built properly, and had been constructed with at least a smidgen of integrity! Instead, the company went on a hide into nothing and ended up costing themselves an absolute fortune. There’s nothing to say that the CCV wouldn’t have sold here in the UK or in Europe, the 800 certainly did well on the domestic market, just enough to keep its head above water for the duration, so the addition of a highly futuristic model such as this could have easily helped reverse some of the company’s fortunes.

 

Sadly not, the CCV unfortunately became a victim of that fatal formula that plagued both British Leyland and Rover right up until the end. Great cars, poorly built, but managed even worse!

Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not. Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end. Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of the bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.

There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay?

Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself. Answer me that and I will ease your mind about the beginning and end of time. Answer me that and I will reveal to you the purpose of the moon.

 

Excerpt from; "Still Life With Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins

 

(two of the impossible project black frame poor pod that I opened and sandwiched)

 

Anyone else ever afraid of what the future will bring in your life? Lately I've been searching and trying to figure out what career path I am to take but I just don't know. Why is it that some people just know what they want to be in life at a young age and waste no time and go after it? Me, I didn't know, I just wanted to get out of highschool and be done with it. Now I look back and wish I would have tried harder and taken different classes.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel and I know it will all work out, just a matter of time I guess.
