Hipólito Restó & Arte -Homenaje a Italo Ferraris en la City de Buenos Aires- |
 |
 Hipolitorestoarte writes "Hipólito, el Restó que combina su cocina con exposiciones de Arte en la City de Buenos Aires, abrió su temporada con una muestra del fallecido artista plástico.
Discípulo del maestro Demetrio Urruchúa, Italo Luis Ferraris fue pintor, músico y mago.
Realizó más de doscientas sesenta obras, ciento cuarenta y cuatro muestras colectivas, cincuenta muestras individuales y obtuvo cuarenta y cuatro premios, lo que señala una fecunda y reconocida trayectoria. Sus obras fueron aceptadas en Salones Zonales, Provinciales y Nacionales, figurando, varias de ellas, en colecciones privadas del país y del extranjero.
Oriundo de San Andrés de Giles (Prov.Bs.As.) nació el 26 de Julio de 1934 y falleció el 20 de Diciembre de 1999 en su ciudad natal, dejando una vasta producción de pinturas, música, diseño de objetos e instrumentos no convencionales.
“Enfrentar la pintura de este artista plástico es un descubrimiento vivificante, porque a la vez que deleita con su impecable técnica, produce en el espectador un redescubrimiento del paisaje familiar, tantas veces desapercibido y con una evidente carga emotiva de trascendente importancia.”
“Sin lugar a dudas Ferraris alcanzó una deslumbrante madurez, a la que une maestría, y oficio, para brindar paisajes que golpean al observador más avezado.”
“La luz, el espacio y el color encuentran grato cauce en este depurado artista y se vierten en paisajes muy bien logrados, con un enfoque siempre creativo.”
“Sus flores poseen un gran atractivo por la sobriedad de sus colores y un vago e indefinible encanto que emana de ellas.”
“…paleta depurada hasta lo exquisito…” (Albor Húngaro).
“…muy fino expresionismo…” (S.Linares – Oleo y Mármol)
“…expresión personal reveladora de la finura de su estilo que linda en el ámbito de lo romántico…” (Reynaldo Gómez).
La muestra estará abierta al público hasta el 30 de marzo.
Lunes a Viernes de 8 a 19 horas.
Entrada Libre y Gratuita.

Bustin' on Bess |

Anonymous writes "Those who care about dwntn Phoenix artist Rachel Bess should take a look at the New Times' "Feathered Bastard" blog:
http://phoenixnewtimes.com/blogs/?cat=3
In it the New Times rips on Bess and the Dr. Sketchy Anti-Art School she runs with her partner Matt. Didn't the New Times do a cover story on her a year or two back?

Art Prints for Home Decorating |
|
Anonymous writes "Learn how to make your home's interior look as good as the ones you see on the home-decorating shows--without a budget running into thousands of dollars--using art prints.
With the new craze for interior decorating inspired by "home makeover" television programs, more and more people are tempted to hire a professional decorator, even if they can't afford one.
Simplicity: the Art of Home Decorating
If you're thinking about breaking the bank for the sake of a beautiful room, think again. You don't have to spend as much as an oil tycoon to have a home every bit as beautiful. Here's why:
A pair of human eyes can only take in so much, no matter how much is put before them.
The secret is not to aim for beauty that comes from opulence, but for a simple beauty. And simple beauty is usually less expensive.
The best way to go for simple beauty in interior design is to make the focus of a room a single well-chosen decorative element.
Art Prints: Simple Home Décor Focus
But what single beautiful element could you actually afford?
Unless you happen to get really, really lucky at a crafts fair or estate sale, there's only one sure way to buy high taste on a low budget. Not original paintings or expensive wallpaper. Just a well-chosen print of a painting or photograph that reflects your style and taste and matches your room.
Surprised at such a simple answer to the decorating conundrum? Perhaps, like most people, you do not understand what art prints really are.
What Art Prints Are Not
Art prints are not posters.
Posters are made using paper stock similar to what magazines use. Art prints are made using special heavier print stock especially for prints.
Posters often play rather loose with the original image, cropping it, resizing it, adding text, or even changing shading. Prints will typically come much closer to the original, and will rarely crop the original image or alter its appearance significantly.
Posters are vastly less durable than art prints. You can expect a high-quality print to last decades without showing signs of age.
Art prints are not reproductions (though they are close).
Reproductions of a work of art, usually a painting, involve using exactly or nearly exactly the same brush strokes and materials, which is why they are so expensive. Prints, meanwhile, reproduce the look of the artwork without reproducing every detail of it. For instance, even though many prints of paintings use textured surfaces or even artificial brush strokes, the exact brush strokes of the original are not copied.
Reproductions also have to be conserved as carefully as original paintings in most cases, or they will fade. High-quality prints are given protection against fading, either in the form of a coating to the surface, or a Plexiglas case.
Reproductions, being paintings, are not very durable, and must be treated with special care. Prints, though not indestructible, are more likely to survive accidents. Some prints can even be washed with glass cleaner.
Of course, no art print will be a good anchor for a room's décor if it's not well chosen. Unfortunately, many people either don't have any particular tastes when it comes to art or décor, or else do not trust their own taste. Luckily, the internet puts the accumulated knowledge of thousands of decorators, artists, and art experts at your disposal. Thanks to the internet, your home can look as good as the ones on TV.
