OCTOBER 2011 - ISSUE #2
H
i there!
What is the 2 Issue all about? Our calling has been to scour pages, profiles and trot along websites to bring you what’s new, and what’s next. Smile. “That means that we shoot for the moon and even if we missed it we land among the stars!”
T
ruly, it is always intriguing to evaluate and appreciate for ourselves and so we are happy to share with you our way to look at photos and art.
L
ooking at these photos and paintings, one seems more predisposed at first to search for reference, connection, and to fix it somehow in the flow of all the others. But finally it is rewarding to appreciate the work presented here as the one of good photographs, artists and not to forget “words composers”.
E
njoy the Issue!

agdalena Zeisel
About dance and light She is a visual artist. She defines her work as a symbiosis of visual forms. Her research in photography is to exceed the technology so that it becomes more of “art nichtgekonnten” which comes from the unconscious. Her work on the dark light is subjugating.

He says: “I would describe my work as fragments of sensations and emotions that go beyond a simple image” and about his nude art he likes to mention with a smile, Louis Calaferte : “Les révoltants dessous organiques de la beauté.” His eye is sharp, sensual and lyrical. He is a provocative dreamer.

aure Delmas-Rouanet
French photographer, her work is a balance of grace, surprise, economy, tension and visual wit. The formal eloquence is a tribute to human meaning that runs along lines, shape, scale.

Eric paints in oil and his paintings mix fine details and abstract architectural renderings in a technique that produces reminiscences of a Zen Garden, where a certain meditative quality is induced. His work could be most easily described as topographical landscapes, but this synthesis is certainly too simplistic.

And nothing else matters....
Lives in Bucarest. her portraits of children bring us closer to a magical world, like a dream within a dream, a vision that at times approaches the atmosphere of Peter Weir films with a tension to surnatural.

Le coeur cousu Commença alors pour ma mère la période des fils de couleurs. Ils avaient fait irruption dans sa vie, modifiant le regard qu’elle portait sur le monde. Elle fit le compte : le laurier-rose, la fleur de la passion, la chair des figues, les oranges, les citrons, la terre ocre de l’oliveraie, le bleu du ciel, les crépuscules, l’étole du curé, la robe de la Madone, les images pieuses, les verts poussiéreux des arbres du pays et quelques insaisissables papillons avaient été jusque-là les seuls ingrédients colorés de son quotidien. Il y avait tant de bobines, tant de couleurs dans cette boîte qu’il lui semblait impossible qu’il existât assez de mots pour les qualifier. De nombreuses teintes lui étaient totalement inconnues comme ce fil si brillant qu’il lui paraissait fait de lumière. Elle s’étonnait de voir le bleu devenir vert sans qu’elle y prenne garde, l’orange tourner au rouge, le rose au violet. Bleu, certes, mais quel bleu ? Le bleu du ciel d’été à midi, le bleu sourd de ce même ciel quelques heures plus tard, le bleu sombre de la nuit avant qu’elle ne soit noire, le bleu passé, si doux, de la robe de la Madone, et tous ces bleus inconnus, étrangers au monde, métissés, plus ou moins mêlés de vert ou de rouge. Qu’attendait-on d’elle ? Que devait-elle faire de cette nouvelle palette qu’une voix mystérieuse lui avait offerte dans la nuit ? Bombarder de couleurs le village étouffé par l’hiver. Broder à même la terre gelée des fleurs multicolores. Inonder le ciel vide d’oiseaux bigarrés. Barioler les maisons, rosir les joues olivâtres de la mère et ses lèvres tannées. Elle n’aurait jamais assez de fil, assez de vie, pour mener à bien un tel projet. Elle se rabattit donc sur l’intérieur de la maison.
