  • Thread of Life Japanese Textiles
    Thread of Life Japanese Textiles Saturday 26 June - Sunday 3 October 2021 Thread of Life Japanese Textiles The Japanese word boroboro (abbreviated to boro) can be translated to rags, but there is a deeper meaning and history hidden within the threads and stitches of these patched textiles. Characterised by meticulous stitching, hues of indigo, and many-layered patchwork, boro originated as a thrifty utilitarian technique since before the 19th century but is now considered a highly prized form of unintentional abstract textile art. Collector Leanne O’Sullivan first encountered the intriguing indigo patchwork while living in Japan in the 1980s. O’Sullivan’s collection has been gathered on return trips to Japan over the past 25 years, from the snow country of Nagano in the north, around the mountains of Fuji to the seas of Japan, with some pieces dating back to the Meiji era (1868-1912). “Whilst living in Japan I was constantly inspired by the extreme contrasts around me – everywhere I looked there seemed to be a mix of the traditional and contemporary co-existing beautifully.” Leanne O’Sullivan lives and works in Melbourne, Australia, where she designs fashion accessories and craft kits, and teaches workshops in traditional Japanese crafts and culture.

  • CVAN Open Letter to the Secretary of State for Education
    Press Release: Wednesday 12 May 2021 Leading UK contemporary visual arts institutions and art schools unite against proposed government cuts to arts education ● Directors of BALTIC, Hayward Gallery, MiMA, Serpentine, Tate, The Slade, Central St. Martin’s and Goldsmiths among over 300 signatories of open letter to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson opposing 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects in higher education ● The letter is part of the nationwide #ArtIsEssential campaign to demonstrate the essential value of the visual arts This morning, the UK’s Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN) have brought together leaders from across the visual arts sector including arts institutions, art schools, galleries and universities across the country, to issue an open letter to Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education asking him to revoke his proposed 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects across higher education. Following the closure of the consultation on this proposed move on Thursday 6th May, the Government has until mid-June to come to a decision on the future of funding for the arts in higher education – and the sector aims to remind them not only of the critical value of the arts to the UK’s economy, but the essential role they play in the long term cultural infrastructure, creative ambition and wellbeing of the nation. Working in partnership with the UK’s Visual Arts Alliance (VAA) and London Art School Alliance (LASA) to galvanise the sector in their united response, the CVAN’s open letter emphasises that art is essential to the growth of the country.

But to me this is part of the pleasure of working.’4 These are just three of the many surviving studies that Seurat used to gather the visual information with which he built his final composition. One study selected by Riley, A River Bank (The Seine at Asnières), about 1883 (plate 20), establishes the location, where he pins down the diagonal division between water and river bank. Seurat makes special use of the striped tidal-measuring post, which helps to carefully balance the compositional components of horizontal, diagonal and vertical. In Study for ‘Bathers at Asnières’, 1883–4 (plate 19), he makes notations of some of the figures that will eventually relate to this location. Lastly, in The Rainbow: Study for ‘Bathers at Asnières’, 1883 (plate 21), he begins to integrate the figures into the space.

  • Bridget Riley's Paintings Continue to Mesmerize, Six Decades On

Photo by Ida Kar. © National Portrait Gallery, Bridget Riley Blue Dominance, 1977 London. ARCHEUS/POST- MODERN British artist Bridget Riley, who is known for bold, blocky, and striped canvases of brilliant hues and contrasts, got her Drst taste of international celebrity back in 1965. Curator William Seitz included two of her paintings, Current (1964) and Hesitate (1964), in his groundbreaking exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, titled “The Responsive Eye.” The eye-popping black-and-white squiggles of Riley’s Current adorned the catalogue cover, asserting Riley’s prominent position within the show. The exhibition situated her among an impressive roster of global artists whose artwork reconsidered ideas about perception. The group included American painters ranging from Morris Louis to Agnes Martin, along with Brazilian artist Almir da Silva Mavignier and a Spanish collective called Equipo 57. Along with Mavignier, Riley was considered part of a new wave of “Op artists” who exploited visual principles to make work that seemed to vibrate with new energy. Josef Albers, Salvador Dalí, and the museum-going public all swooned at Riley’s work. maxhetzler.com Galerie Max Hetzler Berlin | Paris | London While Op art has gone in and out of style, Riley herself is still working and is beloved on both sides of the pond. London’s Hayward Gallery is displaying a major Riley retrospective through January 26th, celebrating over six decades of the artist’s bold geometric abstratractions.

These are the elements of rozome. Many cultures consider fabric dyeing an art form. Historically it has been seen as clothing to designate rank or status, ritual cloth created to celebrate or commemorate life passages, soft hangings to narrate old stories of religion and myth or to depict honored royalty and even deities. In Japan wax-resist is not called batik but roketsu-zome or the shortened form, ro-zome (wax-dyeing). Although modern European and American batik have been inspired by the wax-resist fabrics of Indonesia, Japan has its own historical source flowing from the Asian continent; a flow that inspired the textile treasures stored in the Shosoin Repository of Nara for more than 1200 years. Japanese rozome is a sister of the batik of Indonesia, but the Japanese process has many distinctive techniques; a unique product of Japanese inventiveness. In current time it has grown out of the area of ethnology and decorative arts and into the field of fine arts where it has dazzled thousands with its dynamic possibilities. Japanese Resist-Dyeing: History and Practice Japan has an ancient tradition of fine resist-dyed textiles extending over 1200 years. During the Nara Period (645-794 CE), three resist techniques flourished: rokechi (wax resist), kokechi (bound resist) and kyokechi (clamp resist).

    Press Release Not So Original: Carlos Cruz-Diez, León Ferrari, Terry Frost, Cipriano Martinez, Bridget Riley, Jesus Soto and Emilia Sunyer 8th November – 25th January 2014 This November Maddox Arts will be staging ‘Not So Original’ an exhibition that delves into the symbiotic relationship between the print and the original. Though printmaking is often assumed to be an afterthought in an artist’s practice ‘Not So Original’ demonstrates the variety of roles it may play, spurring the artist’s imagination and engaging in a dialogue with their primary practices. Taking Walter Benjamin’s seminal ‘The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction’ as it's starting point, ‘Not So Original’ features the work of five, celebrated 20th century printmakers: Bridget Riley, Carlos Cruz-Diaz, Leon Ferrari, Terry Frost and Jesus Soto, alongside the emerging talents of Cipriano Martinez and Emilia Sunyer. From the Middle Ages to the advent of the digital era, technology has allowed artists to disseminate their images in the form of reproductions to a wider audience than a single canvas would ever be able to reach. In facing the prospect of engaging a wider audience artists are often compelled to formalize their style so that a singular print may surmise an artist’s catalogue. Likewise such technologies have enabled art lovers to acquire a ‘piece’ of an original via a process in which the artist may have had no hand. The rise of e-editions and 3D printing ask further questions as to how we distinguish the original from the reproduction, when an infinite number of copies can be instantly and flawlessly reproduced indefinitely.
