EXTRAPOLATING FROM THE PAST FOR AN IRONIC GAME. Everything arises from examining the Great Masters of the Renaissance, whose art always stimulated my fantasy from the very first years of entering the “Academy.”

With the passing of the years these Renaissance painters have become part of Myself.

At 20, as a beautiful young man with all the arrogance of youth, then later developed into a much admired Designer, in a historical moment of youth movements, involved in an exclusive group of creative people “in the know”, they recognized me to be a leader. Over the years my interest changed, orienting towards a more material direction, both concrete and positive. There my enquiry gravitated to the concept of “The Beauty of Allure” that combines Art, Creativity and Marketing, captivating the essence of Pop Art, but not rising to the empirical level of great art. Doing an easy job, colourful, breaking boundaries between Street Art and highly stylized Graphic Art, Comics and “L’art de Gallerie”. I present...my work! EXTRAPOLATING FROM THE PAST FOR AN IRONIC GAME. Sebastiano Navarra – Bali, 2013.

Included in this collection is South Korean artist, Park Seung Mo who creates giant ephemeral portraits by cutting layers after layers of wire mesh, casting a 3D image from within and creating a sense of transience or illusion.

Fine Art and Exquisite Luxuria Auction April 2015 Edition Lot 14 Chuan Siang Boon (b. 1955, Singapore) Mei Ping Oil Spot Tenmoku 34cm (h) x 24 cm (w) Stoneware, Wheel throwing, Firing at 1200°C Signed and carved at bottom base Estimate: S$3,000 – S$5,000 Expertly and uniquely crafted as a single solid structure as compared to other Mei Ping vases made in earlier eras that required 2 or 3 split sections to complete the entire vase.

This special Tenmoku technique requires high iron glazes applied in thick layers, which bubble up through one another and generate patters ranging from metallic streaks to spots. Tenmokus are known for their variability. During their heating and cooling, several factors influence the formation of iron crystals within the glaze. While the glaze is molten, iron can migrate within the glaze to form surface crystals, as in the “oil spot” glaze, or remain in solution deeper within the glaze for a rich glossy color.

Lot 29 Gabriel DFQ (b. 1982, Singapore) Find a Word for it “Queen Elizabeth II” Mixed Media on Canvas (1953 vintage newspaper clips, acrylic and varnish) 122 x 95 cm Signed and dated on reverse Estimate: S$12,000 – 14,000

In his current work “Find A Word For It”, the artist explores the genesis of popular icons and stereotypes. He reveals how the media infuses preconceived images, opinions and judgments into people’s mind through the use of words. This series is the conclusion of many years of reflection on political icons construction, wondering “how political power can build such icons? What is the weight of words in building memories and images?”

Gabriel’s works look easy to access, portraying familiar individuals. But when you look at one of Gabriel’s works, you should always think twice as the obvious is not necessarily what the artist intends to convey. It requires plunging into the canvas to feel and weight the

21

wording that builds these icons as Gabriel places quotes and headlines in a very thoughtful and critical way.

Queen Elizabeth II. is one of Gabriel’s masterpieces. Born in 1926, almost unknown up to her coronation, she became Queen at the young age of 25 becoming from one day to another one of the most famous icons of the 20th century. Her coronation ceremony in June 1953 was one of the first global events ever to be televised, covered by international press. Filmed in black and white by the BBC it has been broadcasted worldwide. Millions across the globe watched the coronation live and the ceremony was a major media event of an unprecedented scale.

Almost as a form of meditation, the artist meticulously cuts layer through layer, with each tiny cut forming an element to the depth that ultimately emerges from the image as a whole. His overarching theme of transience or illusion, thus applies to both his physical composition and process, as well as the ideation that brought it to fruition.

His subjects adorned a simplicity of form, often reduced to their essentials in colour and line, Tanaka’s mixture of cartoon imagery and raw brushwork ignites with energy and stood out in their casualness in a personal way.
