Shifting from my L.A. based weekend to dreams of Paris, I am deeply honored that my paintings are currently featured in six curated collections on the Paris-based online gallery, Singulart.

My Paris set paintings Plat du Jour (Saint-Germain-des-Prés) and Champ de Mars serve as entry points for these distinct curations:

1. Blur II: The Eloquence of Unseen Horizons -curated by Marcos Felinto Featuring “Plat du Jour (Saint-Germain-des-Prés)”, this collection challenges the idea that clarity equals truth. What cannot be fully seen becomes deeply felt, creating a fluid space where memory and imagination dwell. https://www.singulart.com/en/collection/-blur-ii--35011?srsltid=AfmBOoozkYtYO1DBY26f260OE2kBk3y3RPDLHIvG0KJS3Cp3fsz-tRPP

2. Contigo Aprendi: Melancholy and Fragility -curated by Anastasia Frantzeskou – explores melancholy, loss, and the nature of nostalgia. "Champ de Mars," carries vulnerability that mirrors the transience of place and personhood.

3. Fostering Interactions: Transmuting Modernist Infrastructure -curated by Anastasia Frantzeskou - focuses on the importance of human connection and authenticity. "The Silver Hour (Disney Hall)" show how civic architecture facilitates human encounters, acting as mirrors for the dynamic urban environment and shared experience.

4. In the Time Interval: Suspended Silence - curated by Ainhoa Fernández - the quiet, tension between physical forms and the invisible worlds they evoke. A threshold where time slows down. This tension exists within kinetic transit (like my painting "Quicksilver") and the museum stillness of "Le Café des Rêves." https://www.singulart.com/en/collection/in-the-time-interval-34704

5. About Time: The Convergence of Historical and Lived Duration - curated by Elisa Pritzker - the mutable nature of time, contrasting mechanical duration with psychological perception. "Le Café des Rêves" acts as a focal point, in which historical and physical layers coexist in a single space https://www.singulart.com/en/collection/about-time-35052?srsltid=AfmBOoqNESSCEp7LtGtjNgfyW3Apjz98xV5ZO8jVtGl60CagJMXe2an8

6. Trains: Mechanics of Anticipation and Transience - curated by Stella Lillig - the railway system is a modern crossroad. "Quicksilver" focuses on the nocturnal mystery of European rail travel, while "Coast Daylight" is saturated with the light of the California coast. The train is a visual metaphor for modernity and personal transformation

Thank you to the exceptional curators at @Singulart for these curations!

What Lies In the Shadow of the Statue? ~ Ille qui nos omnes servabit.

Image
Update; January 26, 2010 The statue is of Tawaret the goddess of protection during pregnancy and childbirth. Temple of Haroeris and Sobek, Kom Ombo , copyright by Gary Jones . The Egyptian god Sobek seems to be the inspiration for the giant statue on LOST. I was leaning towards Anubis but the crocodilian snout gives it away. (Anubis was probably a bit too close to Stargate anyway.) Gary Jones' masterful photo of the Temple of Haroeris and Sobek in Egypt shows Sobek in detail. The light in Jones' photo is stunning - mysterious and beckoning. Caroline Seawright writes of Sobek: "Having the form of a crocodile, the Egyptians believed that he also had the nature of a crocodile. He could be the strong, powerful symbol of the pharaoh, showing the ruler's might. He could use this force to protect the justified dead in their after life, and be the protector and rescuer of the other gods... yet he could also use that power to savage his enemies and the sinful decease...

A Toast to Hannah

Image
Communicating the loss of a loved one is never easy. It is best done in person but words alone can also provide light in a difficult time. With deep sadness I have to send  on  news about the death of our beloved family member Hannah Johnson. Hannah passed away Sunday night in a traffic accident, and her husband Matt is fighting for his life in a hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. ( Update on Hannah's Husband Matt:  Matt is coherent, awake, conversant and stood up today!!) Hannah believed deeply that all are created equal and that we all deserve an equal share of human rights. Hannah worked tirelessly for marriage equality in California and New Jersey.  Pictured in this New York Times photo from 2009 is my courageous family member Hannah Johnson tearing up as she applauds a New Jersey Senate committee vote on a bill to legalize gay marriage.  The struggle continues in New Jersey and in California photo  by Richard Perry / New Yor...

Cherry Blossoms and Kamikaze

Image
by Gregg Chadwick While glancing at the schedule for this week’s National Critics Conference (May 25-28, 2005) at the Omni Hotel in Los Angeles, I came across the description for Elizabeth Zimmer's "Kamikaze Writing Workshop." Obviously the word "kamikaze" has shifted in tone and meaning since it first entered the American vocabulary during the last years of WWII. I doubt that Zimmer’s criticism class will make a fiery plunge into the conference hall as a final project. But I was reminded of the important work being done in the fields of aesthetics and history by Emiko Ohnuki – Tierney at the University of Wisconsin. Cherry blossom send off. Kamikaze means "divine wind" in Japanese, and originally referred to a miraculous typhoon that saved Japan from a Mongolian invasion force in the 13th century. The Japanese Navy used this term to describe their suicide attack planes. In America, the word "kamikaze" describes actions that are...
