über kitsch - german contemporaries

Hi there!

I'd like to invite you to come along to The Vyner Studio for the opening of über kitsch - german contemporaries tomorrow from 6 till 930 pm.


Description:

über kitsch - german contemporaries takes place at the Vyner Studio in East London, 2nd til 4th September 2010. 7 young artists from fine art academies in Nürnberg and München combine living tradition with a playful freudian irony to create a happy but broken nostalgia. Colourful camp oil paintings, animation videos and quirky photographies let your living room die a pink retro death. Sigmund freud was from austria, which feels much closer to artists from cozy southern german cities like Munich or Nuremberg than cold Prussian north. Kitsch ‘n‘ sink rules! Less is a bore. too much is not enough.

Have a nice day!

1300 visitors at Michal Cabaj One Man Show at The Vyner Studio!

Lips. 2009. Acrylic on canvas. 90 x 90 cm.
"Only one letter makes a difference between the lips and lies. But one can not do without the other. From the distance you see the lips...when you come closer you´ll see two slugs...come even closer and you will see hundreds of worms forming the slugs...it´s like unfolding the truth - sometimes the deeper you go the more disgusting it gets. But from the distance it´s really pretty...A lie" (Michal Cabaj)

For Michal Cabaj every painting has a story. Texts like this accompained the paintings and drawings that were exhibited at The Vyner Studio yesterday on the busiest night at the gallery ever.

The visitors could get a close look at the inner world of an artist who´s work goes deep.

From here I would like to congratulate Michal for a show that people will remember.

Have a nice day

INTERACTIVE FIRST THURSDAY AT THE VYNER STUDIO

So here there are a few more pictures of the event last Thursday.

On the hat, Francisco Centofanti, the invited artist to play with the Cube.

It was great to see how everybody got involved drawing over the lines of a painting-drawing where the theme is actually the action of drawing. From kids to adults, groups to individuals, it seemed that everybody felt confortable to perform on their own way.

The action of drawing or painting takes many decissions that end up composing a final result: the art work.
I found very interesting inviting the visitor to add something on a big scale painting-drawing. Every sentence or drawing was a decission to keep developing one whole image.
At the end, a transformed image made by the artist, and followed by the people.

It was my pleasure to invite all of you to my creative process.

All the best,

Iker

FIRST THURSDAY JULY AT THE VYNER STUDIO

Hi there!

How are you?

Busy days...very very busy days these ones for me...The Vyner Studio is absorving all my time (in a very good way) and that´s the reason why I have not been posting as much stuff as I used to.

Now, in another level, a further step, I am having real contact with a serie of artists that are either creating at The Vyner Studio using it as their studio space or actually exhibiting their work.

Being in contact with all these artists and having seen like I have more than 2000 people visiting the actual space over the last 3 months makes me very proud : ).

At the moment exhibitions are being schedulled and I will soon present a programme untill October.

On last Thursday I exhibited my work and the invited artist was Francisco Centofanti who showed his art work but also did a painting performance encouraging people to take part in it as well.

On this pictures, some paintings I presented for this exhibition, where the blackboard and chalk where the main media.

I´d like to invite to the new real thing: The Vyner Studio, where hopefully I will showcase many artists that I have selected for this blog.

All the best!

First Artist Led Course at The Vyner Studio

I am sooooooooo proud to announce the first artist led course:

Learn how to Draw and Paint like the Great Masters, a one day introduction workshop by Francisco Centofanti. Next Saturday right after the Drawing Sessions at The Vyner Studio on 1-5 Vyner Street, London.

This is actually a rare opportunity to attend a course by such great artist since Centofanti lives in Japan, but he is in London for a short period right now.

The Drawing Sessions at The Vyner Studio

It´s official. From next week, every Saturday The Vyner Studio will turn into a big studio full of strugling minds fighting to understand the anatomy and the language of drawing!
One life model and 2,5 hours where through a combination of short and longer posses we´ll consume paper and graphite in the best possible way.

I worked out this e-flyer wich it has what it will probably be the logo for The Vyner Studio. If you know of people that might enjoy this activity, i¨d thank you forward this link to them.

For bookings e-mail me on garcia.iker@gmail.com. The website is in progress and info@thevynerstudio.co.uk is not working yet but it will be soon

Have a nice Easter!!
