Suni For Cubism

Shape, color, and symbolic meanings--What does Cubism mean to you?

I am submitting this painting which was painted in one hour, as a take on Cubism to the next Juried show and see if the jurors would buy it.

Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris Sketch

Sunday's preview of "Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris" at PMA (Philadelphia Museum of Art) was as crowded and last year. The exhibition, which will run to Apr 25, is enormous in term of both quantity and quality. It also included works by Marc Chagall, Jacques Lipchitz, Patrick Henry Bruce, and Man Ray. And, I am very very happy to see some female surrealist, cubists artist's work. in the past they were mostly overlooked and ignored.





However, I do wonder what I am staring at when in a Cubist and surrealist exhibition like this. To me, the most important thing about this category of art differs from the "old master" work, is that the era of the work. The politic background behind the work itself is a direct motif that motivated artists like Picasso to create works that represent what was happening to the people, and to the artist. The technique of painting or drawing is no longer relevant, rather the subject became more significant to these artists. Thanks to the automated guide, it feeds you what you need to know about the art works. However, it also brain washes you, leaving very little imagination space that allows one to continue explore and be curious.

Sketches of a public exhibition

Good place for dessert, one you wouldn't think of.

If you are in Philadelphia, you should pay a visit to the "Palm" restaurant on Broad and Chestnut street. I had never seen such----

---huge pieces of carrot and chocolate mousse cake before...It was really impressive. They are practically the size of a person's head. (Yes, I was being dirty:))

Doodles, from the streets

I've been really busy lately as my graduation is approaching in the speed of lightning. I spend most of my time attending classes, catching up credits, and be confined to my studio. (What super bowl??) Right now I need all the time in the world to prepare for my last ASE, then the world can have it after May :)

More studies

New Project

One of the possible compositional sketches. I am still working with the model concentrating on creating the compositions for the 6'x4' painting.
