Colour attraction comes home

 Mauricio Rozo painter & sculptor

Saatchiart - MRozo

Yesterday I had a brilliant afternoon at the Kensington Town Hall Parallex Art Fair  My first impact was with Mauricio's work in the opening stand. The blast of colour shape and form caught my eye immediately so much so I bought some work to send to Boshra in my Family Link Up project as I know she will feel the energy and passion for art through his work .. She will be able to show the work at the Kunst Academie and will be able to discuss technique and colour with the students and in her portfolio of critique.. Amidst the colour is the face with those eyes to explore feeling and thoughts that they convey.. So a lot to be gained  from this study.

Good networking to raise awareness of my project to help Boshra too..and loved meeting the artists. Lets hope Boshra will have a stand one day at this Parallex Art fair to mix with all the talented international artists.

Yesterday I had a brilliant afternoon at the Kensington Town Hall Parallex Art Fair  

"Parallax ‘Art’ Fair is the most important fair of its kind in London today. It is family-owned and not run by a portfolio-corporate firm. It is also managed by artists and designers."

It was inspirational to see the artwork but also great to engage with the artists to discuss their work, styles, techniques and mediums for the effects they created. Here are a selection of works and artists to share with you readers and followers. My first impact was with Mauricio's work in the opening stand and my opening photo...The blast of colour shape and form caught my eye immediately so much so I bought some work to send to Boshra in my Family Link Up project as I know she will feel the energy and passion for art through his work .. so will show what I bought in my next blog post so patience wait ...wait... wait.. 

Now below is a selection of work by Tamor Kriwaczek his brush stroke dabs are powerful applications of his medium which creates interesting affects.  The collision of blues in the Clouds study below gives an intriguing affect of almost looking like material with stitching ... I loved this one as it really absorbed you into the piece to explore the collision and chaos of clouds, colour. patterns and forms.. We talked sometime and I can see what he does he focuses on fine details and pow...! -brings those details into mega focus on his canvas...

Clouds

"The clouds dive and dance amongst themselves as the light fades catching only wisps that bend the light."— Tamor Kriwaczek

Barry Laden artist Barry was very energising to talk with - I was listening to his conversation with a couple of women from Egypt on his work and this brought me into his stand. The artwork is energising with a fascinating play with colours. Some of the designs would be brilliant for fabric prints to inject playful colours into a room decor... Barry did me good to be about his energy and his business knowledge too...He clearly connects with people as well as his art canvas.. bringing colour and vibrant spirit out of the people he meets.. We had a joyful time together.

Renata karatayeva

Renata was showing me the sparkle in her artwork. The technique pouring acrylics that Boshra also likes to to.  Whilst the medium is wet she can move the mix of colours around the canvass and using a straw blow the medium to create waves and pathways that your eyes are drawn into to follow. 

Perla Mignanelli

I really connected with Perla her work is strong bold angular and love the techniques for sharing her work on T-shirts... She took an interest in my Family Link Up project and Boshra's art. We hope to meet up for coffee soon to talk more. 

Mary Swift

Mary has a mix of studies but all with a boldness and confident stroke to create images from street life to still life...She comes from a family of artists so absorbed in art and finding detail around her to paint and share.  I like her style - like her marketing style of promoting her art and presence at the Parallax Art Fair...

I have shared my photos of the day with Boshra to keep her spirits high with what can be achieved through Art. I have learnt about marketing techniques from the day to help me to help her build her life through art...... so a very good afternoon spent at the Exhibition. Love meeting creative people.

Art in nature

Spotted this show of colour in my garden this morning. The late morning autumnal sunshine... 

The fiver appeal for Art Materials

High Five!

While I was in the bank today was thinking how I could excite more donations for Boshra's Art Materials and made me think further that the minimum donation on the gofundme page is £5... That may be an easier amount for some supporters to give... and the fivers soon mount up with lots of people donating... So I am launching a Fiver Appeal for Art Materials... What do you think followers..? Of course if you can spare more than this will be wonderful tooooo!  Boshra is looking through the online Cowling & Wilcox art supplies as there are some good sale bargains to augment donations yield on materials.

Artists & Illustrators

I had to go into WH Smiths today in Uxbridge as they have the post office there and I had a parcel to send to Belgium. As I was passing the magazines I spotted the Artists & Illustrators Magazine so picked up a copy to read and look for bargain art materials for Boshra in my Family Link Up project. Look I must have had to pick this up wow on p.16 there is work by a Syrian artist Sara Shamma who discusses and describes her technique.. They have featured a study called Hiding in Plain Sight.  I am so glad I have got this magazine and have been showing Boshra it gives her an extra boost of energy to help her succeed with her art work and study too!  

Sara's Work will be on display at the

Modern Slavery Exhibition until 22nd November at the Arcade  Bush House King's College London WC2

Trees to a special princess

My Family Link Up families have got to know the news of Gabriella being back in the UK with her father Richard.  Boshra and me have been thinking what to send to Gabriella to send our love - so we thought about a copy of the Tree book that Leen and Celine love reading and looking at.  If you remember from my recent visit to Belgium Leen and me got a lot from that book as it looks at the seasons and the changes in the trees. We had a walk in the park and collected leaves and studied the leaves.. we were able to draw them and use as an educational tool for biology and also language learning... English Dutch & Arabic vocabulary....  So this copy of the book is on its way to parliament for Richard's MP to forward to him and Gabriella. 

Halloween treat on the way

Managed to get the Halloween dance outfits posted to Belgium for my Family Link Up - Halloween Dance The outfits from Sainsburys and I wrapped the parcel up in one of their Orange bags so looks like a pumpkin on the way :-) I picked up a set of 3 autumn tops for the girls too.. and there are some Caburys chocolate treats in too... I know... I know they are in Belgium surrounded by yummy chocolate... but they also like the Caburys too... in fact Leen & Celine like all chocolate..
