Warwick Art Gallery, Warwick, QL AU Australia | | Silly Things : A Group Exhibition
Fold Gallery, London, UK United Kingdom Fold Gallery in London is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by six artists who employ both objects and humour in their work. The ignored ephemera of everyday life becomes imbued with meaning and promoted to a higher status through the act of painting. This transformative and alchemic process encourages the mischievous arrival of wit, irony, knockabout farce, black-humour and the comic to create works that capture the humanist follies and foibles of the inorganic world. Included are Marcus Cope, Stuart Cumberland, Dominic Kennedy, Kes Richardson, Neil Rumming, Sam Windett. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Still life with De Stijl
findigart
Constructivist integration How is it that art of the De Stijl movement should be "for the people" and not isolated from the people, if all its concern is to depict subjects, essences and "problems" that are not of any interest to the majority of us, hence the people? " The art of the De Stijl movement regarded not only the art itself but also the caring for man for whom the art was created, as first priority" if it is so, than please explain to me how the caring for man is being manifested in works such as Construction within a sphere by Georges Vantongerloo, or Composition II by Theo Van Doesburg? Do these works of art improve your well-being and comfort in front of the torments of life? Art does not solve anything. If it's worth something at all it simply tells a story and if not then it's simply wasting your time pleasantly. A situation where art is rolling around between people's legs will not encourage integration with those people; just the same as a Shinto Japanese will not feel integrated among a bunch of Israeli prayers in a synagogue in Tel-Aviv. If there is no common language there is no communication; if there is no common interest there is no will to form a common language.
