To Market, to Market

This gannet painting sized 8x8 is one of the ten I created for the exhibition I told you about last week. How to describe this amazing concept? The show is called "A Slice of Life" and will show 630 works by 63 South African artists, picked by Avril Gardiner from all corners of the country. Our opening is Wednesday 3rd November 2010. The 630 'slices of life' will be displayed on one wall and will be revealed at 6pm sharp.

Let me assure you, not one of us artists are even allowed to view THE WALL before opening night.I have seen photos of the work of Salome Briers who painted scenes from the Bokaap and District 6, very colourful and beautiful!

My viewer counter here on the blog show that nearly over 2600 unique South Africans have visited my blog. Who ARE you? (like they say in almost every Hollywood film)....you are invited to The Liebrecht Gallery to attend this event! For my friends who cannot attend, I will keep you updated!

The Moulin de la Galette by Renoir and Picasso

Posted by Unknown Posted on 10:49 AM with No comments

This is the moulin de la galette where people went to dance instead of watching dancers like in the moulin rouge.

It was depicted by some impressionists like Renoir, right painting, and also by Picasso, left.

"An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature."
August Renoir

"Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen."
Pablo Picasso

These quotations explain a little the difference of both painters.

Dub Pistols Competition Reminder

You only have ONE MORE DAY to submit your answers!!

ESPVisuals have teamed up with Dub Pistols for a competition to give away 2 FREE TICKETS to go see them on their Rehash Tour on 28th October @ Plan B in London.

All you have to do is email us with an answer to the simple question;

"Where is this event happening?"

Please mail your answer to selphespcrew [at] g mail . com
The deadline is 10am October 27th so have a long hard think about the achingly obvious answer!....

The Rehash tour will coincide with the release of a new same-name mix album from the Dubs, in which a number of high-profile remixers tackle classic Dub Pistols tracks from their last three albums.
Ex-Leftfield man Paul Daley has re-made the second album’s title track, lilting stone cold classic ‘Six Million Ways To Live’, into a new wave electroid roller.
Other remixers on the project include Matthew ‘Bushwacka’ B, one half of the acclaimed Layo & Bushwacka duo, and Wrong Tom, who has just released an album of dubwise reworkings of Roots Manuva’s back catalogue, as well as underground DJ/producer hotshots such as Ben & Lex and Kouncil House.

The ‘ReHash’ album will precede the release of the next full Dub Pistols album – their fifth – on Rob Da Bank’s Sunday Best label in May 2011.
