Daily Dose of Art

During this strange time which is so different from any we have known, I will be posting regularly to offer a different perspective on the artists with whom we work. Sometimes, it will be artworks, sometimes an idea, sometimes a photograph. A different way for you to appreciate their artwork and approach.

Mahmoud Hamadani

“What I do as an artist, is create shapes…they are abstract shapes and beauty is the romantic interpretation of shapes.” Mahmoud Hamadani on his process.

A new week and one closer to being back outside

Not only a sculptor, but also a printmaker, Manuel Müller regularly makes woodblock prints, often using old ledger book pages dating to the 18th century that were collected by his father.

The process of fine art printmaking is very much a close collaboration between artist and master printmaker. Here are some of the steps that are part of the process. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Viviane Rombaldi Seppey

Drawn to objects that are illustrative of specific locations, Viviane has long been fascinated by materials such as phone books and maps for their ubiquitous nature and their visual cues to identity and culture. Her delicate works fragment these materials whilst offering a glimpse into the communal relationship of belonging.

Attirée par des objets illustrant des endroits spécifiques, Viviane est fascinée de longue date par des matériaux comme des annuaires téléphoniques et aussi des cartes géographiques représentant l'ubiquité et les repères visuels d’identité et culture. Ses œuvres délicates fragmentent ces matériaux tout en offrant un aperçu de la relation communitaire d’appartenance

Mahmoud Hamadani

An ink drawing of Mahmoud Hamadani’s from isolation soon after a tumultuous return to New York from abroad as the travel restrictions quickly tightened.

The following poem by Gu Cheng served as inspiration for Hamadani’s Traces series

Now on my heart's page
there is no grid to guide my hand
no character to trace
only the moisture
the ink blew dew
that has dripped from the leaves

To spread it I can't use a writing brush
can't use a pen.

I can only use my life's
gentlest breath
to make a single line of marks
worth puzzling over.

New Sculptures from the studio

Yongjae Kim

I have always found that Yongjae’s paintings, especially of interiors, poetically capture a sentimental spirit that I think is very evocative in the current situation.

Ivan Simeon

Using expired Polaroid 4x5 film Simeon’s photographs are often marked by uncontrolled accidental light infiltrations such as on the right of this image. Whilst not typically desired Simeon lets these unexpected results be a part of the larger image

Li Jin

A moment of tranquility for Li Jin enjoying the simple company.

Plans for the weekend? (Just Joking) We wish we could escape, however, this painting will be our inspiration.

Artist Statement Regarding Dicho

"One day, I was walking one of the streets in Manhattan. Everybody was busy to go somewhere. Suddenly, I had to stop moving my foot forward. A dried leaf came to me along with the wind and softly settled on my foot. In that moment, I had an unexpected awakening to nature in the concrete jungle.
My art work is based on the awareness of humans in nature by creating a harmony of a void space and a unique shape of pictograph from a Chinese old character (ideograph) depicting a leaf.
In Asian culture, red symbolizes fire, blue symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth. The connection between those three essential elements of nature is air. With various ways of mixing the three main colors of lights, I found the color of air which trembled my spirit. The color seemed close to white and showed the variety of all the colors.
By directly attaching Asian cotton thread on my final print work, I expressed the harmonious embracing of human and nature.”
