From October 2011 to June 2012, Zilda brings history “Fragile Fabulae” project to Naples. The city parthenopean becomes a hell wounded inhabited by angels; who knows what happened to them goal what better place to heal could there be their wounds? Eleven paper, oil and acrylic paintings works revisiting contextualizing and dear to the artist, works of eleven year aesthetics of wandering, from dawn to dusk, from uptown to port, from the dark to the light-belly burnt outskirts, a wandering carried along by torpor and the furious the circular energy of the city. Eleven “staging” of a politics of the tragic and of the bodies’ sensuality in the capital of Punchinello, history of comic genius and ambiguous.

Poske x An Introduction

12 Jul


Thanks to Mirza MR and Poske for the video.

Poske writes, “My name is Miguel Angel Montaño Martinez, creator contemporary visual and graphic artist known as PoskeOne, I started painting walls, drawing and creating images in 1999 at the age of 17. To date I have painted walls and joined my chances of visual creation, painting, design and motion graphics.”

“My work now is based on producing images that encourage the viewer to use their imagination, which often has been marginalized by technological progressive behavior requires contemporary society, where reason and logic are the only way to understand the world and reality, where the myth, metaphor and symbolism, those things are just cutting magic for children. My proposal deals that can express and communicate feelings about reality and the inner feeling with images that go beyond the realism of logocentrism representative and current of this society, of the purely mimetic. I intend that my artistic proposal is a vehicle by which to transcend the tedium of daily routine and that is a moment to imagine without marginalizing and automarginarse, where you can articulate a dialogue with the viewer where not everything is fully digested and diluted where there is still room for myth and metaphor.”

Ever x Trip to Mexico

10 Jul


Thanks to Filmaciones de la Ciudad and Ever for the video.

Nicolas, a young Argentine who paints under the name EVER visited Mexico City for several days, painting 2 murals, each one with a different meaning, but always close to his style and way of working.

WALL 1. – Located in the Antique Toy Museum Mexico – EVER, while touring the amazing Lucha Libre items collection, shown in this museum, came across the face of the Tonina Jackson, legendary wrestler of the golden era of this sport. By knowing more about the history of this character and relating to the fact of doing something under a pseudonym and then “go back to being a normal person” EVER decided to paint him on the walls of this museum.

WALL 2. – Located in the urban gallery that MAMUTT and Cauce Ciudadano hold together in the 7 de Noviembre neighborhood, located in the Gustavo A. Madero district. This street art project, seeks to build peace between gang members, we also demonstrate to others that this expression can be a craft, a work of art and an alternative, it also triggers creativity in potential new artists, among other things. Here EVER decided to explore the comunist graphics and religious art, as he had done on other occasions.

Blaine Fontana x TED

6 Jul


Thanks to TED and Blaine Fontana for the video.

Blaine Fontana currently lives and works in Portland, Oregon. Imbuing his vision with the divine symbolism of religious myths, worldly folklore and current social dynamics, his works contain a kind of shamanic exploration of meaning that recognizes the totemic quality and power of the image. With extensive experience within the design world, including working as a designer for Felt Bicycles and acting Art Director for Zero+ Publishing, Fontana’s work displays a virtuosic understanding of sign & simulacra and their role within our contemporary visual culture. Straddling the physical and metaphysical, organic and architectural, painterly and graphic sensibilities, Fontana fuses multiple visual strategies to forge an aesthetic language entirely of his own making.
