r u capable of expressing your inner world?

Last Friday was the opening of my solo exhibition called “P.T.SS.D Generation 3.0″.

Curator: Shahar Dor

I was working on this project for almost 2 years, expressing my post trauma as a 3rd generation to the Holocaust, dealing with the qeustion of intergenerational trauma and the possibilty of breaking the chain of the Mental DNA.

The Exhibition will be open until December 10th and its in Haifa, Israel.

Like his plastic scrimshaw, Duke Riley’s Sailor’s Valentines reference historic maritime traditions, but are made from discarded plastics recovered from New York’s waterways. The octagonal shapes and geometric patterns echo keepsakes that nineteenth century sailors purchased for their loved ones in Barbados on their way home to North America after months at sea. 

Riley’s large-scale versions highlight both the volume of plastic waste now found in the world’s oceans as well as the dwindling number of seashells that such objects would have been made from in the past. Explore these and more of the ways that Riley refashions man-made waste to recall the waterways of New York City’s past in “DEATH TO THE LIVING, Long Live Trash.” #DukeRileyBkM

I'm discovering how mailable plastic is as a material as part of my discovery into texture and shape.

🎨  ¡Color a mi espacio! ❤️

Continuando con el tema de perspectiva, esta vez le di color a los bocetos anteriores. Trabajé con las armonías propuestas a manera de “prueba” para ver si los colores que escogí iban bien con las composiciones, y luego llevar una de ellas a un formato más grande (Lienzo 30cmx40cm).

Para la primera, manejé perspectiva con dos puntos de fuga y utilicé la armonía de “Tétrada”, que maneja 4 colores con su opuesto complementario, para hacer que el ambiente fuese con mucho contraste con luces y sombras.

  ·Colores: Amarillo y Naranja (Luz) y Azul y Morado (Ambiente y sombras).

En el segundo, manejé perspectiva con un sólo punto de fuga y la armonía de “Split Complementario”, donde se utiliza un color dominante, su opuesto complementario y los análogos divididos de este último, haciendo que los colores escogidos dieran la sensación de ambiente con mucha luz natural y calidez.

   ·Colores: Amarillo y Naranja (Luz), Verde (Naturaleza) y Morado (Contraste).
