Ithaca. Openning night.

21st of November 2013. The private view is ready to start, to help the enjoyment we served Spanish wine, manchego cheese and other Spanish nibbles. 

After all the excitement, I can say it was an amazing feeling seeing how everyone liked the view and thought the printings were great.  

The exhibition will be on displayed until the 12th of December, as the public seems to enjoy it. So come and visit it, but if you don't have time check my website or the pages in this blog to see the artwork . 

Stay safe! 

     

Ithaca, Old new memories - Solo Exhibition

Dear All,

I am very excited to show you this:

You might remember 13The Gallery as the place where I did the Affordable Art Fair (which they still doing every weekend so try to go to Islington and see the work or young artists, you never know when o where you will found an artwork to fall in love with) however in this post I don't want to tell you about another Art Fair I want to announce the openning of a solo exhibition in London: Ithaca, Old new memories.

Ithaca has found a nice destination and we will stay at 13 for a year as a gallery agreement, so I hope I will be telling you about more exhibitions very soon.

Stay Safe,

C.

Happy Birthday!

Born in Zurich, Switzerland on 8 November 1884, Rorschach grew up in Schaffhausen and was known to his friends as Klecks, or "inkblot" for his love of klecksography, the making of inkblot "pictures". 

He is one of my biggest artistic references next to Salvador Dalí or David Batchelor. 

The way he use the art of spotty sizes to connect it with psychology it was one of the main points why I took his work into study while I was looking for my artistic language. 

Do you know who I'm talking about? 

Not yet?

Hermann Rorschach! 

I have talk about it on the facebook page but thank you to google to remind me it was his birthday, that has made me look again to his essays. I know he wasn't an artists but sometimes references are more of a theory than something esthetic. 

Stay Safe,

Come into my brain

Hello all, 

After a short holidays on Prague, I went to visit a famous Spaniard who is now a Berliner... Salvador Dalí!

In this permanent exhibition we can see his first lithographic work "Don Quixote", his etching technique, with "Tristan and Isolde" and Dante's Cycle "Divine Comedy". And also my favorite part of it "Alice in Wonderland" where he draw his own visions of the book, with a dreamy Alice and a blurry rabbit. 

 
 

As part of the exhibition you can see some of his films, and one called Destiny, a colaboration with Walt Disney resulting a cartoon film about a lady looking for his lover and becoming different paintings, I would recommend this museum to everyone with a small interest in art and of course to any passionate about Dalí. 

Doing mine his own words "go into his mind" and enjoy Berlin!!

For any extra info about it check the museum website.  http://www.daliberlin.de/en
