Unchain my heart

Ta Thimkaeo • Koh Samui • Thailand

2018 • Oil on canvas

40 x 50 cm

My paintings are all about people though sometimes they may not always look like an average person, my people are like the sea always changing. I want my people to have a bit of character, a little of the night about them but above all I want them to be special. I want my art to have an art deco or a sort of surrealism feel to it, I want you to see something different every time you look at it, I want it to hold your imagination.

Original Informal Abstract Artwork - Over the age of oblivion and across the wilderness of miles, the tradition lives: read on the parchments, told by the fire-birds. When lost in a maze, it breaks the captivity walls to revive, to repeat itself...

Duckweed

Paméla Maria Schellekens • Amsterdam • Netherlands

2018 • acryl paint on prepared Hahnemullerpaper 360 gr

70 x 100 cm

Duckweed is inspired by the ditch behind my backyard: a beautiful spot with trees, duckweed, birds and the reflection of the sun and the clouds in the water. The 'beauty of the everyday' is an important factor. Zooming in on patterns, structures and light in the (urban)landscape. The works depict how these impressions slide over each other and yield new compositions with endless colour shades. Details where color and light on the skin of things is characteristic for the translation of reality.

Trafficking for time trade 28

fernanda chieco • Bergen • Norway

2018 • Acrylic on AMERICAN AIRLINES blanket

208 x 120 cm

The artworks from this series document and depict locations and safe-keeps known to be used for time storage as well as institutions, agencies or establishments involved in the organisation, administration and logistics of time trafficking. My hypothesis is that time is a hormone produced in the human body. It slips through our fingers easily and is often wasted, but unwittingly our time is also mysteriously and anonymously stolen. It is then temporarily stored in various inhospitable locations or safe-keeps before being smuggled. Shortly after completion all finished artworks are presented for the first time in a public place of my choice. Only after this presentation or DEBUT are the artworks made available for acquisition or exhibitions by art institutions. Here I present the artworks followed by their respective DEBUTS.

Plum Blossom Necklace & Brooch 01

Linda Wang • Beijing • China

300 • Antique porcelain, fine jewellery handmade sterling silver blue and white plum blossom flower necklace.

1.8 x 5.3 cm

For this creation, I use Porcelain selected from the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty (1661AD -1722AD) I was inspired by traditional musical instrument chinese lute(Normally we call it Pipa). The pipa is one of the most popular Chinese instruments and has been played for almost two thousand years in China. Several related instruments in East and Southeast Asia are derived from the pipa. Early literary tradition in China, for example in a 3rd-century description by Fu Xuan, Ode to Pipa, associates the Han pipa with the northern frontier, Princess Liu Xijun, and Wang Zhaojun, who were married to nomad rulers of the Wusun and Xiongnu peoples in what is now Mongolia and northern Xinjiang respectively. Wang Zhaojun in particular is frequently referenced in later literary works and lyrics (although her story is often conflated with other women including Liu Xijun),as well as in music pieces such as Zhaojun's Lament (昭君怨), and in paintings where she is often depicted holding a pipa. There are many references to pipa in Tang literary works, for example, in A Music Conservatory Miscellany Duan Anjie related many anecdotes associated with pipa. The pipa is mentioned frequently in Tang Dynasty poetry, where it is often praised for its refinement and delicacy of tone, with poems dedicated to well-known players describing their performances. A famous poem by Bai Juyi's Pipa xing (琵琶行), contains a description of a pipa performance during a chance encounter with a female pipa player on the Yangtze River. The pattern of the piece is plum blossom flower.We select only the choicest piece for Pipa pendant.The silver part was made by hand delicately. “The scent of plum blossoms comes from surviving the bitter cold.” Nearly every Chinese literator has left some laudatory lines or paintings on plum blossom. In their opinions, plum blossom does not crowd the spring time with all the other flowers to catch people’s attention but enjoys its own efflorescence lonely in the winter. In traditional Chinese culture, plum blossom becomes a symbol of pride, noble self-esteem, and perseverance. This necklace&brooch is beautifully crafted from antique fragments of porcelain from the period and is of heirloom quality. Each piece is completely unique and celebrates the ancient artists who crafted and hand-painted such elegant quality. Finding complete examples of their work is extremely rare, so they are not only valued as pieces of jewelry but also as a valuable piece of art. The originality of each example underlines it's classic, timeless appeal and makes a wonderful statement of excellence. The perfect addition to your own personal collection or a precious gift for family members, friends and business partners. The pendant is presented on a hallmarked silver chain and comes along with an identity card, a presentation purse, a silver polishing cloth and a nice brocade box. This item is handmade from antique porcelain, and it's small imperfections are part of the beauty of working with these original materials. The chain is S925 International sterling silver. We value your thoughts and feelings and love to hear from you all, so please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Canoes occupy an honoured and iconic place in the Canadian cultural imagination, and their depictions evoke, variously, the fabled workboats of indigenous and colonial histories and their sleek, modern-day descendants, used purely for recreational purposes.
