El valor de una firma (The value of a signature)

I´d like to thank Mariaje Barrenetxea (my mother) who sent me this moving video animation.

Lucian Freud

"Factory in London" 1972, by Lucian Freud. I guess this is an unsual work from a great painter mostly known for his powerful portraits often of naked bodies; but his style of painting is very recognisable. He paints in a way that it feels like he sculpts with thick colour. His paintings are very rich in materia and the viewer can almost breath the time Freud spent observing his model.

As you guys might know I have painted quite a bit of London, specially the East End. I´ve got some sort of attraction to London´s streets and its buidings. There´s something very intriguing about "the old" when it comes to architecture. Someone said the face of a person reflects their soul. The time Freud spent observing and painting definetly reflects something.
Have a nice week!

Chunky Move's Mortal Engine

"Founded by Artistic Director Gideon Obarzanek in 1995, Chunky Move has earned an enviable reputation for producing a distinct yet unpredictable brand of genre-defying dance performance." (www.chunkymove.com)
Beautiful dance performance, I hope one day I can get to see it life. I´d like to thank Yeukai Makoni for send it to me.

Gilbert Garcin

I saw this photography of Gilbert Garcin on Buamai, a select collective posting unique imagery from various sources with a focus on Graphic Design, Architecture, Fashion and Art.

Buamai is curated by César Pesquera, a director, graphic designer and audiovisual artist that is always involved in many interesting things. A while ago I posted "Passier 8", a great short film directed by Pesquera. I have only checked a little bit of of Buamai´s archive, and I got absorved by this fantastic photographs. by Garcin. Thanks to Vanessa Bejarano, who sent me the link of Buamai.

Soon I hope to post the new short film of Pesquera: "Círculo Uno". In the meantime, I am sure that I will reffer to Buamai many more times with great art works.

Tomorrow I will provably make it to Frieze Art Fair In London. You guys enjoy the rest of the weekend!

The sense of armony of colour on this people is just amazing. Enjoy and learn of this people that turn themselfs into art.

"Early Sunday Morning" by Edward Hopper

The beauty of the light in the silence. I think that on certain paintings there´s a certain colour that stands out, a colour that we remember and we associate with that painting. This is a painting of Hopper that stays in my mind.
On my memory that warm orange seems to stand out, and it is the key colour for me to actually remember the rest of the painting.
Enjoy the rest of this Sunday!
