Animated Flowers Irises

X marks spot for art demonstrations at neXt gallery in St. Charles; prasino ...

Bellaver will demonstrate how he combines 21st century tools, such as iMac, with ancient tools and knives to sculpt in clay. He will explain how he takes images of his live model and translates those into a 360-degree panoramic display that allows him to more easily stay true to the likeness. Yet, while he uses digital tools, he actually sculpts with tools/knives that have been around for centuries, to craft a likeness that is startlingly animated and true to life. Hall is a nationally recognized artist who has discovered her own color vocabulary based on a palette that combines elements of strong light with drama and photo-like realism. When she paints white flowers, she is able to exaggerate the shifting color subtleties of shadow and reflected light. She uses these colors and light to capture the transparency of petunias, the velvet-like softness of gladiolas, or the texture of the veins and wrinkles of hollyhocks. The demonstration on Friday, June 17, is part of Fridays@Five, a casual reception open to the public, featuring light refreshments and music, plus this weekend’s special artist demonstration program.

Fridays@Five & prasino

It’s a great way to kick off the weekend with a little culture, say organizers, who include the St. Charles Arts Council. Each Fridays@Five is followed by food and drink specials at prasino restaurant for gallery-goers; visitors may pick up a free voucher at the gallery. The neXt gallery is defined as a “pop up” gallery, which typically transforms an empty storefront/office building into a temporary art gallery. The program is an initiative of the St. Charles Arts Council, designed to create energy, excitement and opportunities for artists. The council says the program is called neXt gallery, because you never know where it will pop up next. About Batavia Enterprises

Abstract Films from the 1920s: Making Rhythm Visible – The Getty Iris

(1923), Share a visual language, combining black backgrounds with white shapes and lines that seem to grow and change. Yet, Richter’s technique is quite distinct from Eggeling’s. Richter investigates the effects of cut-out squares and rectangles as they appear now in the distance, now in the foreground, while Eggeling’s lines and curves are drawn, un-drawn, redrawn, and moved within a flatter picture plane. Richter’s and Eggeling’s works also share a common interest in musical and auditory metaphors, but their approaches are distinct: Richter prefers a fundamental rhythm, Eggeling prefers the more refined composition of a symphony. Both emphasize an aesthetic of synesthesia: representing one sense (hearing) within the representational scheme of another (sight).
