Des tableaux abstraits, une bonne action concrète :[nice news]

0 comments

Top news that I receive last week is that there was article in the newspaper 'Le Républicain Lorrain' ~ 'Des tableaux abstraits, une bonne action concrète' _ about d creative workshop that I've done with the teenage group there, few days before I come back in Macedonia.



It was mention in the paper because we've done amazing works that should be shown & auctioned to benefit the association Thionville-Gao. I'm very happy that I had the opportunity to work/ spent my time with this creative young stars in the association Jacques Prévert and quide them trough the process of creating abstract works of art that esthetically look different and share with the audience different mood, styles, emotions. .. I've done/ repeat d same workshop with d boys and with the girls group. some pictures and info about the results from the boys group I wrote about in d article before & I can say the same about the activity with the girls, especially that was supported by more people and there were interest in between some of the trainers and other workers from the association.


"very positive atmosphere during the whole process and amazing photo-finish.."



this is the whole article that is published in the hard copy version of the 'Le Républicain Lorrain' newspaper'.



La découverte de l’art abstrait, au centre Jacques-Prévert, débouchera sur une action très concrète: la semaine prochaine, les toiles des jeunes seront vendues aux enchères au profit de l’association Thionville-Gao.


Elles s’appellent Anissa, Anissa, Anissa et… Célia. Malgré le soleil de ces premières journées printanières, elles ont choisi de passer leur après-midi au centre Jacques-Prévert. Pour profiter des activités proposées et pourquoi pas, en faire profiter les autres. Il y a quelques semaines, avec treize de leurs camarades garçons et filles, elles se sont frottées à l’art abstrait. Deux heures pour réaliser une toile sous la direction de Midko, un volontaire européen d’origine macédonienne, expert en peinture et arts plastiques.


« On était un peu perdues au début, l’abstrait ça n’évoquait rien pour moi, ou plutôt n’importe quoi. Midko nous a dit de nous lâcher, de ne pas trop réfléchir, et c’est venu naturellement », explique l’une des Anissa. Les filles ont vite laissé aller leurs pinceaux, les garçons, ont eu plus de mal. Leurs premiers essais représentaient tous quelque chose : une voiture, une personne, le centre social…


Résultat bluffant



« Les ados ne sont pas forcément familiarisés à l’art abstrait mais ils se sont tous prêtés au jeu et y ont trouvé un formidable espace d’expression. Ils étaient concentrés, appliqués comme rarement. Il y avait une telle émulation que le directeur et certains animateurs du centre sont même venus participer à l’atelier et réaliser un tableau. Cela restera parmi mes meilleurs souvenirs », témoigne Eugénie, animatrice.


Le résultat est si bluffant que l’équipe envisage de garder les tableaux pour décorer le centre. Mais rapidement une autre idée germe : les mettre aux enchères pour une bonne cause. « Les jeunes auraient pu repartir chez eux avec leurs toiles mais ils ont tout de suite accepté d’en faire don pour qu’elles soient vendues au profit de l’association Thionville-Gao et des écoles maliennes. C’est un geste généreux et l’occasion de démontrer au grand public qu’ils ont du talent », reprend Eugénie.


Vendredi 15 avril à 18h, les œuvres des dix-sept artistes d’un jour seront exposées au centre Jacques-Prévert et cédées aux plus offrants… avis aux amateurs.

#twitterartexhibit in Norway

0 comments
This is call for artists organized by the Norwegian colorist - expressionist artist @DavidSandumArt. He send this call on twitter for A real life Twitter art exhibit! and his main idea was to getter artists from all over, who will create card/s with their style of work and support the organizer in making a big exhibit in the city library in Moss, Norway. The library (bibliotek in Norwegian) is located in a part of town called Møllerbyen that used to be part of the towns industry (years ago).

I really like his idea, because he wants to make the expo, and our art works to be for sale but the money to be used in charity. The prize for all the cards will be the same, that was also one of my basic motivation to participate. And also 140 artist (the first idea), call via twitter in 140 characters, the final result, amazing idea that I waned to support.

..so far for the #twitterartexhibit he received art from 173 artists (few days left until the deadline, November 27th, and the wall that is made inside the Bibliotek it will be able to show 240 cards.

In the beginning I didn't know what to send from the things that I constantly made here in France but most of them didn't fit the size, so I decide to make one week of dynamic creative producing so I can have few works from which I can choose which to send.

I made about 20 paintings/ cards, acrylic on paper-board and for final there were 3 that were telling we are the one that we'll go. The other one that are part of this collection (private for now) you can see it here ~ #artExhibit.

This are my friends, my characters that will present @kihuPotru on this expo.

 I_Go. I; I_Go. II; I_Go. III;

In meanwhile, I had one more idea in my mind. Sometimes I made art/ painting workshops with the kids that are coming in the association Jacques Prevert. For me was perfect idea, in perfect time. I was doing my cards when the kids were inspired to paint with me also. I didn't wait a second after I had 4-5 kids around me. I take big paper and give to all of them one color in big 1l bottle. Every kid was having one color in his hand and brush in the other.

I explain to them that I want to have one big abstract painting made by all of them in 140 seconds. My idea was also in 140 moves, I had already 9 kids on which I was trying to tell to don't make more then 10 moves, so I can reach the number 140, not all of them listen and will stop with 10 moves. :)

It was workshop like start, go, go, go..STOP!

We repeat the process on 3 big paper-boards. For the new paper they were changing their colors, so they can have opportunity to express them selves in different way. I catch that in the box with brushes there were also some teeth brushes and some of the kids in their hands were having them. Pretty experimental for me, so happy about the idea for the exhibition as for the idea of this action painting workshop were the kids were making collective pieces of art.
