#lockdownart

Currently on display at @coprogallery! @joevaux's solo show "Fever Dreams" unveils a host of new paintings which were created during the 2020 lockdowns. Processing Joe's personal experiences during this time, the exhibition is both dark and hopeful - totally worth a look! Featured: “The Choice Bits” (acrylic on wood panel). Next in-gallery viewing at Copro is this Saturday from 1-5 pm, or by appointments 🌟 ... posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CQwEhx2odEY/

So in the last year we set up an "art room" to get us through lockdown and keep us inspired. 🎨🖌️ I wrote a short blog post about making "space" for art during the pandemic & surviving lockdown through creativity. The link is in my profile if you fancied a read. As always, I love to hear your thoughts. #lockdownart #isolationcreation #arttherapy #lifeofacreative #fortheloveofart #mycreativelife #paintpaintpaint #artinspo #carveouttimeforart #artistsofinstagram #lifeofanartist #creativespace #spiritofcreating #artistlife #creativeliving #painting #makearteveryday #100daysofpractice #the100dayproject #100daysofcreating #instaartwork #marchmeetthemaker #artstudio #inspiringinteriors #studiodesign #artspace #artiststudio #inspiringspaces #artroom #artstudiodesign (at Brighton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMVGtjLHYu8/?igshid=xu4ncwb4jbna

⁣ 🎨 Amore e morte⁣ 👨🏼‍🎨 Calcedonio Reina⁣ 🕰 1881⁣ 🖼 Olió su tela⁣ 📐 122 x 152 cm⁣ ⁣ To positively influence my judgment towards this work is not only the fact that it was really in the place where the scene of "Love and Death" is set, or the suggestive Catacombs of the Capuchin Convent in Palermo, Italy. ⁣ But above all it is the originality of its realism and the strong symbolic power hidden behind the apparent normality of the scene: a man and a woman kissing among the coffins and mummies displayed in the catacombs. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ The short story of a stolen kiss, of a typically youthful goliardic act consumed in an "eversive" way in a sacred place, where it would be forbidden to deal with earthly, carnal joys and it would be more appropriate to reflect on the escatological teaching offered by the environment. ⁣ Perhaps, man and woman are the protagonists of a clandestine love, of an impossible love, without a future: that stolen kiss is a unique opportunity not to be missed.⁣ ⁣ live, believe in existence, kiss passionately, delude yourself for a moment to be immortal, but – memento mori! – do not forget to belong to death, to the dark destiny that awaits you at the bottom of the gallery of life.⁣ ⁣ omnia vincit amor⁣ ⁣ ------⁣⁣ #kiss #kissinart #weareback #kissinginart ⁣#luckytuesday #reina #palermo ⁣⁣⁣⁣ #stayhome #staysafe #thankshealthheroes #quedateencasa #restezcheztoi #lockdownart #art #amor #love (at Museo Civico Castello Ursino) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPSGghwHjUu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Great fun this week - its the end of half term ‘Drawing Week’ and all staff are contributing with sessions proposing and demonstrating ways to make art with non traditional media. Here students are being shown how to make zoom portraits with coffee and today building up collages and print and drawing work with newspapers and materials found in the home.
