Aspire to be a light.
To desire everlasting creativity.
Be the student to every little thing around you.
For the inability to accomplish something, ultimately leads you to better understanding.
I’ve been gifted with life, love and the will to create. This year, although with strife, has taught me acceptance. That the world around us is one automated and interconnected life force.
One to be explored.
I’m honored by the presence of very special people in my life who’ve given me hope and the will to continue living.
Thank you for making an impact in my life.
Continue to be curious, not judgmental.
Panciatichi Assumption is a painting created c. 1522–1523 by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea del Sarto. It is housed in the Galleria Palatina of Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy.
The painting was commissioned by Bartolomeo Panciatichi (the Elder) for a private altar in the French church of Notre-Dame-de-Confort, in Lyon; however, when finished, it remained in Italy. It was subsequently acquired by Bartolomeo Panciatichi the Younger, the man later portrayed by Agnolo Bronzino. In 1526 Andrea del Sarto used the same composition in the Passerini Assumption, now housed in the same museum. Later, Bartolomeo gifted the work to Jacopo Salviati, who moved it to his villa del Poggio Imperiale. After all Salviati's possessions were confiscated by Duke Cosimo I de' Medici, the villa and all its content went to Paolo Giordano Orsini, husband of the duke's daughter Isabella d'Este.
After several changes of property, including a period under the Odescalchi, the villa returned to the Medici family in 1602. In 1687 it was decided to the move the Assumption to Pitti Palace, as part of the collection of prince Ferdinando de' Medici. The panel was enlarged in that occasion, in order to mount the same frame of the Passerini Assumption, also taken to the palace.
The work depicts the theme of the Assumption of Mary with two registers: the lower one shows the apostles of Jesus crowding around Mary's empty sepulcher, looking at her while she ascends to heaven in a cloud in the upper part, surrounded by happy putti. Andrea del Sarto painted two kneeling apostles in the middle, according to the traditional pyramidal composition of holy Conversations, joining them to a circle of other apostles which can be seen, for example, in Raphael's Oddi Altarpiece.
The presence of a grotto at the right is unusual. Mary is looking upwards, surrounded by a celestial light . At her sides are two symmetrical groups of angels, whose tables perhaps were intended to contain the artist's signature, the donor's name and the execution year; another, in the middle, calls the apostles' attention towards Mary.
Some of the characters were perhaps portraits of existing people. The apostle kneeling and looking towards the seer, for example, is sometimes identified as Andrea del Sarto's self-portrait.

I shot this in the same art gallery as this one.
This artist looked a bit curious after I shot this and somehow didnt want to go on with creating his art as long as I stood there with my camera. Fortunately I already had my shot =)
As you may have heard, tomorrow will be a pretty interesting day in berlin. Its the annual "Labor day" which is traditionally celebrated with a big public party and riots afterwards.
Right wing extremists fight against left wing extremists fight against police.
I am not totally sure yet whether I really want to go shooting there but I think I will.
I hope for good shots. And for not being arrested or hit by something. Fingers crossed!

Artist Fred Eversley to create large-scale sculptural installation at One Flagler in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach
Dec 14, 2022
Eversley’s largest commission to date will be unveiled in spring 2024.
Sculptor and artist Fred Eversley has been commissioned by Related Companies in partnership with the City of West Palm Beach to create a new public art installation. Slated for completion in spring of 2024, the artwork is titled Portals. It will comprise a constellation of eight of his signature parabolic shapes in transparent, violet-hued polyurethane resin, adorning the One Flagler office tower, a new 25-story building designed by architect David Childs and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP.
Eversley’s work is often associated with the Light and Space movement. It has been featured in over 200 exhibitions and is included in over 40 museum collections. He has executed 20 large public artwork commissions. By training, Eversley is an engineer, and his sleek creations in cast polyester resins and bronze, and laminated acrylics and stainless steel, frequently take the form of disks, parabolas, helices and lenses. The reflectivity of the works makes them naturally interactive.
Portals will be the largest public art installation and most ambitious project created by Eversley in recent years; upon completion, it will be added to the City of West Palm Beach’s public art program, ArtLife WPB. The selection process for the commission was managed by Related Companies executives and Culture Corps, the art advisory and creative consultancy founded by Doreen Remen and Yvonne Force Villareal.
As part of the project, the adjacent First Church of Christ, Scientist—which inspired Eversley’s Portals—will be preserved in perpetuity. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style by African American architect Julian Abele in 1928, and completed in 1929, the church remains one of the most architecturally significant historic structures in West Palm Beach. The 1.25-acre public green space in front of the new One Flagler building will be named “Julian Abele Park.” The eight sculptures comprising Portals refer to the eight columns of the church.
Explains Eversley, “Seen from afar, eight Portals rise up, from land, and out of water, shaping a graceful gate that resonates with the columns of the church. Like an arced welcoming arm, the Portals lead visitors to the heart of the site’s historical ground. The Portals become an active third part of what is now a sculptural and architectural trilogy, one in which the number eight is a recurring theme. The aim is to inspire and draw thoughts to Abele’s masterful gestures, and to the mind that gave rise to this destination point, which now appears in a new light, and with new life. Portals signals a new beginning––an homage to Abele’s significance and his relevant, lasting contribution, which are here given renewed value and brought into the eternal light of infinite spirit.”
“We believe that public art is inclusive and creates memorable shared experiences providing moments of discovery and inspiration. The park at One Flagler is the perfect place to present an important work of art by an iconic artist,” says Gopal Rajegowda, partner at Related Southeast. “We conducted an in-depth search and proposal process, which resulted in the selection of Portals by Fred Eversley. The artwork stands out for its beautiful, eye-catching design and its homage to architect Julian Abele and the historic church. Eversley’s sculptures will make a meaningful connection between the past and the current important time in the City of West Palm Beach.”
Adds City of West Palm Beach Major Keith James, “By preserving the historical First Church of Christ, Scientist and creating a new monumental artwork that pays tribute to its architect, Related and Fred Eversley are presenting the City of West Palm Beach with a lasting gift. This new park and captivating installation will be a major draw for residents, visitors and art enthusiasts.”
About Portals:
The shape of the sculptures will act as lenses and create optical effects in the parabolic elements, as well as refractions in the surface of the water. The sculptures are made of a crystal-clear material that will be tinted with dyes, adding a violet tone. Due to their shape, the sculptures will vary in gradation from more rich color in the thicker and wider bottom to more pale at the thinner top. The angled edge surfaces will stand out as mirror-reflective signature arches in both daylight and night light.
During the daytime, Portals will change in appearance, shifting with the sunlight, weather and time of day. The tapered surfaces of the sculptures will naturally be illuminated and more reflective due to their angle toward the sun, creating a silhouette of bright mirroring “arches” that will have a distinct and dramatic effect.
At night, Portals will be up-lit from below, so that the light travels upward through the material of the sculptures. The shell will be luminous throughout, but brighter at the bottom and fading toward the top, adding a range of violet to indigo hues.
About Fred Eversley:
Fred Eversley (b. 1941, Brooklyn, New York) is a key figure in the development of contemporary art from Los Angeles during the postwar period. Now based in New York after living and working in Venice Beach, California for fifty years, Eversley synthesizes elements from several art historical movements associated with Southern California, including Light and Space, though his work is the product of a pioneering vision all his own, informed by lifelong studies on the timeless principles of light, space, time, and gravity. Prior to his becoming an artist, Eversley was an engineer who designed and built highintensity acoustical laboratories for NASA, the French atomic energy commission, the European space laboratory, and other major aerospace companies. His science and technology background helped develop his interest in the parabolic shape; the only shape that concentrates all forms of energy to a single focal point.
His pioneering use of polyester resin, and industrial dyes and pigments, reflects the technological advances that define the postwar period even as his work reveals the timeless inner workings of the human eye and mind. Eversley’s abstract, three-dimensional meditations on color—including the luminous parabolic lenses for which he is best known—entice the viewer to approach, prompting questions about how the biological and optical mechanics of sight determine how we see and understand each other, and communicating a kinetic, palpable sense of the mysterious presence of energy throughout the universe.
Fred Eversley is the subject of a solo exhibition, Fred Eversley: Reflecting Back (the World), at the Orange County Museum of Art, Costa Mesa, California, on view through January 15, 2023, and will be the subject of forthcoming solo exhibitions at David Kordansky Gallery, New York, in May 2023 and at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College, Claremont, California, in 2024. He has also been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts (2017); Art + Practice, Los Angeles (2016); National Academy of Science, Washington, D.C. (1981); Palm Springs Art Museum, California (1977); Newport Harbor Art Museum, Newport Beach, California (1976); and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1970). Recent group exhibitions include Light & Space, Copenhagen Contemporary (2021-2022); Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power (2017 – 2020, traveled to five venues); Space Shifters, Hayward Gallery, London (2018); and Water & Power, curated by the late Noah Davis, Underground Museum (2018). His work is in the permanent collections of more than four dozen museums throughout the world, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas; Museum of Modern Art, New York; K11 Art Foundation, Hong Kong; and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The first monograph dedicated to Eversley’s work was published by David Kordansky Gallery in 2022. Eversley lives and works in New York.
