It is about light, shadows, darkness, seamless transitions, mystifications. Ceson subjects his photographs to a dazzling and mesmerising lighting show. He uses his own digital chiaroscuro editing, a technique that combines bold light with intense darkness to emphasise the depth of his subjects. As with Rembrandt, it is in the shadows that the mystery and obscurity arouse the viewer's curiosity and imagination. The dynamic between visible and hidden. One of the most fundamental narratives in Ceson's art is about the 'human condition'. By not just depicting a forest glade, a cathedral, an invasive plant, for example, he pushes the material as far as possible to trigger something existential in us as viewers. #art #artexhibition #konstutställning

Exhibition: 'Picturing the Border' at the Cleveland Museum of Art I wrote this philosophical text as a flow of consciousness, a layered exposition of my thoughts on space, photography, identity and belonging. I hope I have done the subject justice... in freedom. It is a heavy buy hopefully interesting text. PLEASE read only if you are interested in working those little grey cells… . "within, bridge and fissure" The struggle for identity, for culture, for nation is a struggle inscribed in space. So observes Wendy Garden.1 The spaces that bodies move in, through and over are fluid spaces, permeable spaces, fragmentary and transitory spaces. They are also spaces of displacement and distance which form a kind of 'alienation' which derives from the Latin alienare: to render foreign, other.2 ... The images in this posting draw our attention to fissures (George Rodriguez, Susan Meiselas, Ada Trillo) and bridges (Graciela Iturbide, Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello with Colectivo Chopeke). They also possess a multivalent narrative, allowing the work to be accessible to different interpretations, meanings, and values: a new door or path opens up on the basis of very diverse needs and objectives. These images, untraceable gifts from photography itself, are marks of candour and authenticity, both descriptions of a stable object and the fleeting glance (Firstspace and Thirdspace) interacting upon each other. They are an investigation into our fluid identity and shifting place in our worlds.14 In spatial dialectics and in the nuances of contradictions we proceed onwards, paying no heed to the dangers which lie ahead, journeying on to fulfil our desires: to be seen, to be heard, in our difference and uniqueness, enacting change from within.

This famous Anais Nin quote is so true. We really don't see things as they are, we see them from our own perspective & who we are, which all depends on so many variables. Something that bothers you one day, might not even be noticeable another day. It is always good to be open to having our perspective challenged. When someone says something kind to me, I always think what a beautiful reflection of their goodness. When I slip into judgement or blame, I know most of the time it’s to do with my own stuff projecting outward. Try to stand back & observe this today! Just notice - no judgement, just gathering the information. Awareness is the first step! - Painting from Pinterest (heavily influenced by my morning in the Van Gogh museum, which proves my point)! - #positivepsychology #loveoflearning #reallifepositivity #inspiration #onlinecourses #reflection #sona #groupcoaching #teambuilding #research #onlinecoaching #onetoone

🎨 MY ARTWORK IS SIGNED BUT WITHOUT A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY! WHAT CAN I DO? 😱 The activity of verifying authenticity is part of the basic tasks carried out by archives and foundations. Normally, these institutions are run by the artist's family members and art experts. To facilitate the verification activity, it is always useful to send these institutions not only a photo of the work, but also documents, research and evidence. If you are not able to do all this, contact an experienced HISTORIAN OF ART who will help you in this delicate task. WARNING: DO-IT-YOURSELF IS A GUARANTEE OF FAILURE!!! Remember that a work with a certificate of authenticity has an important economic and artistic value. #artmarket #artinvestment #artexpert

🎨 Dive into the depths of Vincent Van Gogh's "The Night Café" from 1888, a masterpiece that captures the essence of nocturnal solitude and psychological intensity. Painted in Arles, France, this artwork showcases Van Gogh’s unique style through its vivid color palette and powerful emotional expressiveness. 🔍 "The Night Café" is an exemplar of Van Gogh’s expert use of color to evoke mood and atmosphere. Utilizing contrasting hues, he depicts a haunting, sleep-deprived aura within the café setting. The scene is bathed in garish reds and greens, which Van Gogh described as expressing "the terrible passions of humanity." The perspective used in the painting draws the viewer into the room, making them a silent observer of the late-night lethargy. 🖌️ Van Gogh’s artistic vision in this piece is particularly distinguished by his technique of applying paint thickly, known as impasto, which adds a palpable texture and vibrancy. His swirling brushstrokes contribute to a sense of turmoil and emotion, enhancing the psychological impact of the scene. 📜 While not controversial for its content, "The Night Café" has been subject to legal and ownership disputes long after Van Gogh's death. Amongst these was a notable issue involving Yale University, which was resolved only after extensive litigation, underscoring the ongoing legacy and value of Van Gogh’s work in modern times. #VincentVanGogh #TheNightCafe #ArtHistory #Impressionism #PostImpressionism #VincentVanGogh #ArtControversies #1880sArt #DutchArtists #ArtMasterpiece #ClassicArt #EuropeanArt #ArtCollection #MuseumLover #ArtLover #HistoricalArt #FineArts #PsychologicalArt #ColorTheory #ArtTechnique #Impasto #ArtLitigation #LegacyofArt #ArtOwnership #YaleUniversity #ArtDispute #ArtandLaw
