How To Fix Your Camera On Oovoo

VENICE, or APPROACH

The approccio (APPROACH)
acrylic on canvas - 120x100 cm - 2010 Villeneuve

--- -------------
Recently I was to paint a "Venice" all red "... .. Panic who prefers gray colors! Here I have to explain the painting, "APPROACH" my best result of questions I got. If my work I sometimes use the red paint is especially Spain, expressed in her dancing, songs, strength, and unfortunately his terrible bullfighting. Spain became a symbol of pathos and emotional abuse, her red always accompanied by the evil duende. But having to be painted the soft and tranquil Venetian red cost me a considerable effort. Once launched the color on the canvas, almost blindly, I started to plan the lace that these architectures are all leaning over the water. The composition did not say anything at all, it was kind of bad photo, nothing more, then the "web" came to my help, he suggested its Carnival, his mask and his secret. A Labyrinth anthropomorphic with the excuse of the game slips into the water in front of the Isola San Giorgio, pushing a small gondola, Venice and waits there, lying in her beauty with red highlights in its mystery and its abandonment. The Labyrinth approaching Venice to breathe life, with his umpteenth idea: save the human will, rational, constructive and protective. Time flows like a flaming wheel, resigned but proud at the clock dial reminiscent of the Torre di San Marco. Circle / wheel on one side and roads / crossings the next, "becomes" and everything moves, opening space to hope, respect and positive determination.
Save Venice is an act of

Villeneuve in the snow is beautiful. She lies all white to the edge of the lake. Gardens, roofs, fencing, tables, fountains, benches, while dozing under light snow, only the cat does not seem very happy! Nouschka was, the neighbor's cat, she came to my studio on the street, without any intention of highlighting as the snow was there! These photos are from different years, I place them in small disorder, for the pleasure to offer you a quiet ride. Not being a photographer, these pictures are just shots of heart!

MIRTO FONTANA - tra la neve ed Realta astrazione














MYRTLE FONTANA

- snow between reality and abstraction -






know Myrtle Fountain, a resident of the Soprabolzano Renon (Bolzano), dodges a solitary individual and wandering that is defined amateur photographer, we know his work precise and clear, made of patience and love, full of poetry and certainly not booming 'showy', but of careful and quiet compared

few days ago and found some of his recent shots, I decided to republish in my blog
Blue sky and white snow, nothing is more 'real, but if these colors forms retain their evidence between curves of white snow and wooden fences, just a sky of ashes and lead to create shadows disturbing turn landscape in each scenario fantastic. Myrtle
Fontana has a new key in his pocket and his eye now exceeds the actual reading abstract poetry in it. Reflection of the game, from adventure to the question, in Fontana is felt the curiosity to go beyond the visible, perhaps due to subjective moments of life, or the sheer desire to venture into the 'more', "or, as Massimo Cacciari says:
"Everything is trivial if the universe does not undertake an adventure in metaphysics." The approach or expulsion
lens at a focal point no matter what the actual release from what 'that surpasses it. Fontana has moved from a reading of the object itself placed between reflections and memories, to an abstract conceptual projecting beyond everything. The object, it is an expanse of snow or a dry leaf is invested with new significance, where almost a sepia black and white with a touch of blue to help the image from a dream or thought. The leaf can 'be attacked by the newspaper box, and the expanse of snow a sort of limbo, a no mans land, a passage between life and death. In "Star Wars" hits the absolute immobility, not breathing, and above all the endless waiting or resignation of almost human forms that stretch to infinity. This is a 'framework' that almost certainly would like to Kieffer, or Bacon, o a Moore. Un’altra immagine apre un labirintico ludo composto da forme vegetali e quasi umane, dove minus et maius immobilizzano l’ennesima attesa, ed anche qui , sempre attraverso i giochi dei ghiacci, Fontana sottolinea il suo astratto pensiero antropomorfico.
Nell’attesa di nuovi scatti e nuove emozioni, auguriamo a Mirto Fontana pieno successo e soprattutto lo invitiamo a continuare il percorso nel suo nuovo ed astratto labirinto, di cui una delle sue immagini ne dà una versione ricca di significato
