1 DAY..... TO JOBURG FRINGE ART SHOW

JOBURG FRINGE ART SHOW

One day to the Joburg fringe Art show and it is truly exciting since it will run alongside Joburg Art fair. I will be one of the Artist exhibiting alongside several brilliant Artists.
I'm eager to see their works and meet them, so that in itself is exciting to me.

The work I’m proposing for the fringe exhibition, is abstract art about faces, hence the title FACES UNKNOWN. It is an abstract rendition of women and men’s faces in silhouettes referencing faces of people we work with, family and people we deal with on a day to day basis or people that attract our attention but are detached from our own reality yet they affect us.. Interacting with people is something I enjoy doing. I try to imagine what their silhouettes in abstract art would look like with reference to their character, demeanor, facial expressions, life situations and occupation.

As an artist, my curiosity to create these Ink based abstract art paintings, stems from a need to see people from another perspective free of facial features and all the seriousness that goes with portraits. This thought has informed the basis for this series.

So I share with you some of my work that will be on Show at the Exhibition. I have inserted them in the press release Enjoy.

I understood immediately that the internet is indeed a level playing field and "beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder".

Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view | Miabo Enyadike

Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view I enjoy painting abstract art silhouettes especially faces.The simple reason is I can manipulate the profile of an individual, with several layers of color. Color for me is an integral part of my art aesthetics I allow color to lead my creative process in the way I see the art I am about to create. Silhouette of a woman; Abstract Art; by miabo enyadike. My Abstract Art this week is all about using colors to create a simple silhouette, of a woman and a man. When I decided to create this particular abstract painting, it was more of emphasis on color than on the human profile. I wanted to see what the outcome of the creative process would look like. Also to see if and when the human features are covered in colors, other than our natural colors would this Art evoke any emotions?... that simply belies the fact, that color seems to be one the many problems we have in our so...

Michelangelo Quotes - Artmiabo

Art quotes by Michelangelo Michelangelo Buonarroti, the renowned Italian Renaissance artist, sculptor, and painter, left behind a collection of profound quotes that offer insights into his artistic philosophy and approach to creativity. Here are some of the known Michelangelo quotes: "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." "The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection." "The greatest artist has no conception that a marble block does not contain within itself." "Genius is eternal patience." "Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish." "I am still learning." "Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." "If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all." "Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle." "The greater danger fo...

Several Ways to Promote Your Art Online and Offline by Artmiabo

Several Ways to Promote Your Art Art is truly in the eyes of the beholder, who love what they see immediately, but the purchasing of the Art is a different ball game. People tend to make a decision to buy your art after several views that is the way it works. For some fewer views and they buy, while others several views before a collector makes a purchase. Abstract Flower Painting, Wall Art, by Miabo Enyadike The reason for these disparities is sometimes, name recognition could prompt a quick purchase or good presentation of your Art could be a factor. While on the other hand poor presentation, costing, need, and relevance could lead to delays. The issues here are relative, there is no quick magic to sell your art, you just have to put it out there for people to see and decide for themselves. I have been fortunate to be in the Art business for over 20 years, so I have a...
