I don't know if you remember this painting, I made this one before I started to make the big drawings. This one is from 2011. This painting is my submission for a open call for an exhibition about self-portraits. The intention for this competion is to start a discussion about art. The organisation will take a closer look to the art-works of those people who have a discussion going on about their work. These works will make it to the exhibition... So if you feel like it or have any questions about this work or just want to tell what you see in this work, click here! You will see my entry and below you can spread your mind. Of course you can do this to any other art work you like on this site.
And if you have any energy left, you can also leave a comment here ;-)
I wish you all a good weekend and thank you for your support anyway, just by reading this blog!
No, I do not remember but it's because I had not seen before, otherwise I would remember well, because I like this a looooottttttttt!!!!!
ReplyDeleteis one of your best artwork, Celine, you know I like the elements that somehow break with the traditional. breaking, with that, that mediocre thought expect to see. The monkey, is one of those elements.
Congratulations, Celine!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))
this one must be from before I started reading your blog. it's fabulous. love it. what's with the monkey?
ReplyDeletedas bild war - glaube ich - eines der ersten, die ich in deinem blog gesehen habe. und ich liebe es!! ich freue mich sehr, dass es in die ausstellung kommt - herzlichen glückwunsch, lieb céline!
ReplyDeletehallo mano, ich weiss nicht ob es in die ausstellung kommt... das liegt daran ob es interessante kommentare bekommt auf deren webseite...
DeleteI'm not sure if it I made myself that clear; my painting isn't in the exhibition, that depends on the comments on their websitr about my work...
ReplyDeleteI like the painting and did check out the web page in your post. Hope that it makes in the exhibition. It's really neat just like all your other pictures and art you do. And yes, I had energy to leave comment here too :)
ReplyDeleteJust a small note - I couldn't leave comment on the web site since I need facebook account and I don't have it :( Sorry for that. Here is what I was going to write there:
ReplyDelete"Yet another great picture from Celine. I like her work and unique way of doing her self-portrets. The way color flows thru out the picture makes this one very liquidy but yet very sharp and to the point. It's a pleasure to look at it all the time."
It is a painting I carry in mind now for some days. So many questions. It cries. I love the colors, the use of the contrast. I wonder if the artist got hair like Pipi? Or does she would like to have hair like that? How old is she? Is it a memory? ( I don´t understand what is written under "Omschrijving ", sorry.) The more I think about it the more it scares. I love the mystic in it. It is a bit crazy but probably it´s very true.
ReplyDeleteHi Madeleine, thank you for your time and that you wrote such a wonderful comment! I that you told me how it works to you. I'll translate the "omschrijving", it won't aswer all your question, so you'll have something left to think about;-)
Delete" Pippi Longstocking: hero of my youth. I take her characteristic orange hair/tails and the monkey. Does her power jumps over to me, is this what she would have looked liked as a grown-up woman?"
nice
