Portraits of pets can be a challenge and an adventure. I got to know this one intimately and I think I have captured her personality. She is adorable except when she bites. So she is a cat with a character and don't be too kind as after petting her you might get some scratches instead of thank you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Otherwise she is absolutely cute.</div>

I have seen many do the time lapse and always wondered what does the process of creation looks like. Is it magic?<br />
Here I have recorded it to see for myself. I love how fast it is and that I can see the progress growing and changing the paper, transforming it into a drawing. The magic captured in less than ten seconds. I am definitely making more of these.Anna Efanova - sharing stories with arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12250075852945453819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3035318501292468435.post-8983418265066823152020-02-29T23:11:00.000-08:002021-09-12T19:30:27.428-07:00This week I have played with architectural sketches. I am an organic-line-person and drawing straight lines is a challenge for me. I am trying to find the balance for the architectural sketches and watercolors I have started to explore and I would like to capture this beauty of the lines and colors<br />

It can be out last experiences or a color scheme might seem really pleasant. As an artist I often don't have the explanation in words and suggest to the viewer to enjoy their own interpretation.<br />

As if I didn't know it, the drawing month was a great challenge and I have now several sketches that will become drawings. I have not made 100 (yet), but that has not diminished the great satisfaction I have from creating these and also sharing them.</div>

Something about the atmosphere created with this circular and dynamic technique made me stop and loo a the figures again. So much to read in as to the relationship between them, the place, the sounds. The pen marks are almost chaotic and yet the figures are in their almost dormant positions among the falling apart world.</div>

Should I say that this is my favorite? Even with the cartoon like imagery I find these fascinating.We have Bruegel and Bosch in bright colors ready to be added to the scenes of the hell and purgatory. Maybe it is the absence of the background that makes so much more appealing. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From January 20 through February 20, 2018 I will create 100 artworks on paper and post about them here. The idea behind this project is manifold. One is to move forward with creation and have a deadline that often can propel us forward with more intensity. Other reasons are to develop a stronger concept and share it with you. I would love to hear your feedback. Please send me a note. Comment on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/artwhimzy/">Instagram</a>, or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Anna-Efanova-49998091339/">FB</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each piece comes with a story and this is an additional challenge for me since I prefer to live in the realm of the visual and avoid discussing my pieces. The compromise I found is that the writing will actually be a fiction. This part might not be as coherent, but I hope to improve as I brave forward.</span></div>

If you didn't have a chance to see Fictions exhibitions at <b>The Studio Museum in Harlem</b> it is still open for couple more days. Representing emerging artists from all parts of the country it is as diverse thematically. My attention was caught by the painting of Christina Quarles "A Part of Apart". The dismembered bodies are intertwined and seemingly codependent on each other. The relationship is build within a multidimensional space that is broken by the detailed floral design. The variety of line adds to the visual confusion. So much to explore!</div>

On the upper floor is an exhibition by the resident artists. This print by Julia Phillips reminded me of several other pieces made with nylon. Stretched and modified almost to abstraction the material manifests almost like in an animalistic form. Yet the eye shifts back and forth to the recognizable part of the clothing typically worn by women. Playful and dark it is in my favorite category of push and pull.</div>

This week I was intrigued by the art by Misha Kahn at Friedman Benda. The animalistic forms are rooted in earth. They are layered with organic and synthetic materials creating the feeling of outer space. This is probably what appealed to me in the first place - the push and pull of the familiar and other.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nearby in Paul Kasmin Gallery Bosco Sodi installed these clay cubes. The simplicity of the structure complements the painterly surface. Something about their size or the warmth of colors makes one comfortable. The textured surface asks to be touched and the gaps between the cubes pose the question about their weight. Here is the structure that is heavy and levitates at the same time.</div>

Luckily I also got to see this piece at Christie's. If you ever wonder how artist's ideas come together here is an excellent example as it is a hybrid of several other sculptures put together. It is more complex from this combination which makes it even more interesting in my eyes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leslie Jimenez exhibited several prints and this thread line artwork along with Pepe Coronado at the Uptown exhibition. She created the volume and almost sculptural feeling putting the thread through several pieces of velum. Abstracting the windows from their setting transformed into personages of its own will. Plus the use of craft material adds to the dialogue of what is art versus craft. </div>

Beautiful workmanship. </div>

As
any retrospective exhibit it is informative to see the connections
between her earlier and later works and the circular themes we go
through as artists. This exhibition is diverse in medium and covers a
life-span of her works from drawings to sculptures.<br />

<br />
At the White Cube exhibition in London, Dreamers Alike, and international and multi generational cohort of artists are in the conversation about surrealism. Here is a glimpse on several artworks from the exhibition.<br />
<br />
An Japanese American artist, whom I don't know well, Kelly Akashi, creates a suspension of ideas and forms with her torn of limbs that are resending from the high ceiling and almost drag on the floor<br />
The bronze flesh is hanging at the wrists of otherwise highly engaged fingers that interact with each other, hold contrasting shapes and are bound by the rope itself.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Kelly Akashi, Well(-)Hung<br />
<br />
Another pleasant discovery was an acquaintance with Berlinde de Bryuckere.<br />
Her interpretation of the body depicts the imperfect beauty of the corpse.<br />
Stitches into parts and town through as it is attached the junky table acting as a pedestal the form is recognisably human as it also mimics the curve of a seal with its volume almost falling off the table.<br />

Berlinde de Bryuckere, Animal<br />

It was a joy to meet again Rachel Kneebone's ceramic cacophony of body pars that project out of the collage of flowery and serpentine forms. The piece interlaces the limbs of both genders in a confusing interlacing<br />

I have had a chance to visit the exhibition and see art that has brought me surprise and joy.<br />
<br />
First, I was surprised to see the work of US artist Tim Brown. Surprised, because it reminded me of one my favorites, Bill Taylor. Here compare them:<br />

Over the past month Sophie Calle has been on my mind a lot. I have stumbled upon her book "Double Game" that describes several projects, including the mise-en-abyme play with Paul Auster.<br />
Last weekend Sophie Calle, in the steps of Marina Abramovich performance of Artist is Present, was greeting visitors at the Green Wood Cemetery. The visitors shared their secrets with the artist and entombed them in the obelisk, that is placed for the next 25 years on the hill with an amazing view.<br />

Another artist that captured my attention at Frieze was David Altmejd. His work pulled me in with the mix of the materials and exploration of the familiar face while deforming it into a half mask and half upside down portrait. I wish I knew where did he take inspiration for his adventures</div>

<b>Kevin Francis</b> transformed the stone onto a subtle white clay. We can see how he has dragged his fingers to shape the lumps and smooth out imperfections. Only all this effect is actually an illusion and he carved the marble to a perfect deception.<br />

<b>Robert Therrien</b> piece or more accurately a room with the doors made me nostalgic of seeing an older hospital in a town of Italy some twenty years back. Even though this one is strike and has never had nor will it have people walk through the doors. His work leaves volumes for imagination. The absence here is what makes the work so strong.<br />
