Lencan pottery meets Alessandra Foletti

 

Alessandra Foletti helped to establish training workshops in 1986 for female ceramicists in Honduras and organize production teams for creating traditional and contemporary Lencan pottery. The underlying theme of the project was to forge a creative fusion between anthropology and design by rescuing traditions and renewing them under a contemporary vision to reinforce cultural heritage and develop work opportunities that generate income for their communities. Her input, as an artist and a designer, was to introduce and market designs of sculptures, jewelry, paintings and ceramics that preserved their traditional handcraft techniques and decorative styles and motifs.
Alessandra has been surrounded by art since she was a child. “Art runs in my family: my grandmother used to paint, two of my uncles were jewelry makers, a cousin was a sculptor, and my mother painted beautiful compositions on silk. I was born in Trento (Italy) and my career in painting and ceramics began in Switzerland and Italy. I studied engineering in Switzerland, then anthropology in Mexico. In 1983 my husband and I moved to Honduras to work with the Lenca people and here I began an ethnographic research on their artisanal traditions, especially pottery. Thanks to the research I met many women ceramists, and I was able to publish a book together with the Honduras’ Anthropology and History Institute.”

Ceramic spiral ‘Messenger Pigeon’ – Lenca

Handcrafted from ceramic, this beautiful Honduran sculpture of a messenger pigeon is covered with spiral motifs in crackled alabaster and coal black. Designed by Alessandra Foletti, the sculpture, handcrafted using the ancient pottery burnishing technique of rubbing a flat stone on a surface to create a sheen. During firing, a resist technique similar to batik is used, protecting the natural color of the clay while the uncovered parts of the surface achieve a black finish.

Fernand Léger Propellors--1918

‘Propellors’ — Fernand Léger, 1918

Fernand Léger’s paintings of this period combined Cubism’s simplified, abstract forms with an interest in industrial machinery. The dynamic rhythm of this composition’s planes, cylinders and tubes alludes to mechanical motion. Embodying both solidity and the promise of speed, the propeller emerged as an emblem of modern technology for Léger and his contemporaries. At a visit to an aviation fair in 1912, Marcel Duchamp (whose Bicycle wheel is also on view in this gallery) was said to have been so struck by the beauty of a propeller that he remarked to his fellow artists Léger and Constantin Brancusi, ‘Painting has come to an end. Who can do anything better than this propeller?’

 

 

MoMA at NGV: 130 Years of Modern and Contemporary Art,

June 9 – October 7, 2018 at NGV International, Melbourne

 

The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in partnership with The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) is presenting MoMA at NGV: 130 Years of Modern and Contemporary Art, to continue its focus on promoting knowledge about the evolution of art in our time, from the age of Modernism until today. MoMA, NY opened in Manhattan in 1929 and its collection of over 200,000 works of art by some 10,000 + artists, makes it one of the leading museums of modern art in the world and this exhibition offers a unique overview of this iconic collection.

The first few decades around the beginning of the twentieth century was filled with new, innovative and radical art movements that heralded the birth of Modernism, leading to a diverse range of architectural and decorative styles, as well as applied and graphic arts, created between 1880 and 1950. This exhibition explores the emergence and development of this ‘new art’ and is represented with works by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Paul Cézanne and pioneering cubist, constructivism, futurist and orphism artists such as Pablo Picasso, Aleksandr Rodchenko,  Umberto Boccioni and Sonia Deleunay.
Also on display are abstracted forms from artists such as Lyubov’ Popova, Jean Arp and Piet Mondrian, alongside the surreal visual language of paintings by artists like Salvador Dalí , Yves Tanguy and other prominent Abstract Expressionist artists like Jackson Pollock. Developments in art beginning in the 1960s, from Pop through to Minimalism, are explored with the works of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Isamu Noguchi and other contemporary art which followed.. In total, over 200 key pieces, including works that span Photography, Film, Architecture and Design, Painting and Sculpture, Drawings and Prints, and Media and Performance tracing the development of art and design from the urban and industrial transformation of the late nineteenth century extending to the digital and global present. Even Tomohiro Nishikado’s pioneering computer game Space Invaders (1978) and the original set of 176 emoji developed by Shigetaka Kurita in 1999 are represented.

This colorful collection of polyurethane foam shapes could be stacked into a rectangular wall or used as individual pieces of seating. The design concept is playful and flexible. Its interlocking organic shapes reflect Matta’s training as an architect in his native Chile as well as his Surrealist painting practice, which developed after his move to Paris.

Van Gogh’s thickly painted, colorful portraits changed the way many artists and patrons viewed portraits at the time. Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo of his excitement about “the modern portrait,” a picture that renders character not by the imitation of the sitter’s appearance but through the independent, vivid life of color. Van Gogh’s subject in this painting,

Adapting images to the curvature of thrown forms introduces many challenges such as shifting perspectives, limited space and the myriad of decisions involved in deciding how to apply the paint to the surface of the clay. Here is a selection of curvy vessels chosen for their vivacity and spontaneous stroke work along with highlighting the ingenuity of clayartists in creating and adapting hand painted art on sinuous forms.

To create her unique pieces, Zindel transfers her whimsical graphite drawings onto handmade dishware using a modernized version of the transferware technique, which was developed in 18th-century England for printing patterns on pottery with an engraved metal plate. Once Zindel’s drawings are ready, they’re photographed digitally and converted into black-and-white silk-screens, then printed onto individual pieces and refired in the kiln. (BostonMagazine)

Marty Ray

 

In the late 60’s I began classes in clay, creating sculpture and pottery. My first clay teacher was sculptor, Octavio Medellin and then potters, Michael Obranovich, John Miller (TWU) and John McElroy (SMU). Clay grabbed my full attention with all of the possibilities that takes more than a lifetime to explore.

Cats – Jenny Mendes

The descent of Jenny Mendes into the swamp of chaos and returning in triumph

I started the painting on this cup yesterday.(see above) I liked the drawings, and needed to fill in the details. Somehow, I lost my clarity and the background got totally confused. But I still really liked the figures, so I kept trying to fix it, only getting deeper and deeper into the swamp of chaos…… I actually almost gave up, it looked horrible and felt like a failure, and I was so close to throwing it into the trash, but still I really liked the initial drawings, especially this one, so I didn’t quit, and eventually, by washing back the surface I got to a place that I really liked. It kind of reminded me of Van Goghs starry starry night… But, it was tough getting there. Why am I writing this? To encourage anyone in their work not to take the easy way out, but stick with it and find a way out of the darkness when it isn’t going well. Up until this point for the last ten or so paintings I have done, it was easy, but on this one I really hit the wall, and then, like coming up to the surface of the water after diving down way too deep, and thinking I might drown, I surfaced, and with a new discovery! By wiping away the background, I created a really lively surface that excited me, and at that point the hours of distress that it took to get to that point were worth it……
