kafkian eternity with flowers at 7 pm series Eternity signed 3.05.2018 This series of artworks refers to the metaphysical approach to space populated by a pot with flowers, a near seen like a section of a personal temporal eternity, where the vegetative elements are transfigured into the metaphysical, transcendent .Thus, at the limit figuration, the immanents of the light becames oniric reflections and transparents, the flower shape became sphere, within which persist the traces of the pass, of the wear, the cyclicity. The series title, although apparently suggestive, is not refering to the absurdity and anguish prosaic present in Kafka's universe, but rather its starts from the idea of freezing of the personal physical time, by a simple meditative exercise of pure contemplation of the close realities transformed by the passing of time. For me, as an artist, the still life is a perfect excuse to create a vibrant game between the idea of the volatility and the perennial of the world that we perceive around us, and the essence of the human spirit: the conscience. My "flowers" are subtle expressions of a meta-reality, where the viewer is invited to meditation, to exercise his spirit, to discover that energy, that forsure we all have it inside us, that resonates with the silence of the begining of begining.Certificate of Authenticity: Every artwork is sent with authenticity certificate that contain details about artwork, my original signature and the name of the collector on it.Shipping informations: I ship to Europe from Monday to Fridays and Thursday outside Europe.Shipping methods: My preferred method of shipping is AIRMAIL PRIORITY SERVICE, almost all of my art will be shipped via this carrier.

Developed from her ground-breaking 2014 piece Cloud Cell, Xiaojing Yan’s Spirit Cloud owes its ethereal form to the shape of lingzhi mushrooms, smoke and clouds – all of which are linked by the tension between ephemerality and permanence.Traditional interpretations of clouds as symbols of good fortune are echoed by the lingzhi mushroom’s association with longevity, as an ingredient in a legendary elixir of immortality. The form in Spirit Cloud is held in suspension between 2 monolithic rectangular prisms, echoing the theme of transient phenomena, hovering between one entity, reality or universe and another.
