Show de Bola 2014

Projeto Show de Bola

A ideia: dar as mãos e criar arte de forma circular, espiral, infinita.

Agregar artistas sensíveis e talentosos que pudessem mostrar a força da união e fazer história juntos. Respeitando as características individuais e produzir um campo mágico, um espaço lúdico, original, único, um verdadeiro patchwork de emoções e interpretações da vida em movimento. Uma vida que rola, que não para. Foi assim, atendendo ao meu chamado, que artistas de 21 países, incluindo o Brasil, assumiram o desafio de representar um pouco de suas culturas, expressando-se através de pinturas figurativas ou abstratas, fotografias ou esculturas, seguindo a temática: “A beleza e a riqueza de seu país”, numa visão pessoal, resultando num intercâmbio cultural e de experiências sem igual.

O Projeto Show de Bola, faz alusão ao Globo Terrestre e a nossa interferência nesse jogo sem início ou fim, e dele participam 95 Artistas Plásticos, dos mais diferentes pontos desse nosso lindo planeta azul: Alemanha, Argentina, Austrália, Áustria, Bélgica, Brasil, Canadá, Espanha, Estados Unidos, França, Grã Bretanha, Holanda, Itália, Japão, México, Nigéria, Noruega, Nova Zelândia, Portugal, Quênia e Suíça.

Show de Bola, The Project

While this vision extended to different forms of international interaction, to me it was the instigator of the idea to bring it to life in the form of a cultural project. Following my vision, Show de Bola came to be. The vision was to create a circular, spiral, infinite form where artists could metaphorically hold hands. This form would respect the individual artists interpretation and artistic expression while building a whimsical, magical unique and original patchwork of emotions and unique artistic interpretation of life in motion. It would represent the moving and unending life.

Artists from 21 different countries, including artists from Brazil, accepted the challenge to produce figurative and abstract paintings, photography, and sculptures. The theme suggested, “The Riches and Beauty of My Country,” gave the artists the opportunity to express their vision of the them, which resulted in an unmatched exchange of cultural experience.

Show de Bola Project, the word Bola, “ball” in English, alluding to the Earth's Globe, brought together the work of ninety-five artists from different countries. The breakdown of countries/artists is as follows: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and United States.

Show de Bola 2014

O Projeto Show de Bola utilizou como mídia básica, para transposição das Obras em 2D, a tela em forma de um Hexágono, com 60 cm em cada uma de suas faces. Cada 7 hexágonos formam um círculo (“Bola”), permitindo a comunhão de temáticas e dos vários Artistas / Países. Uma simbiose onde cada obra fala por si e o conjunto mostra a riqueza plural de nossa diversidade como habitantes dessa enorme esfera global. Uma verdadeira colmeia de talentos e inspirações produzindo o rico mel da arte.

Um formato único, inovador e de grande impacto, gigante tanto nos corações e nas mentes, como por suas dimensões surpreendentes: cada círculo, depois de montado, chega a medir aproximadamente 3 metros de diâmetro. Um verdadeiro Show de Bola!

O caráter itinerante da Exposição confere ainda mais movimento às Obras de cada Artista que poderão ser expostas simultaneamente em três cidades ou locais separados, já que cada um se predispôs a fazer três Hexágonos distintos. As primeiras Exposições serão apresentadas em São Paulo / Capital; em Piracicaba, interior de São Paulo e na cidade do Rio de Janeiro / Capital. Além da Exposição física, as obras serão amplamente divulgadas digitalmente ampliando sua vocação itinerante e agregadora por meio das mídias sociais e também por cobertura jornalística.

Entre os Artistas participantes estão os já consagrados, que são a maioria, assim como os novos talentos, todos de mãos e corações dados, incentivando a construção de uma carreira pelo rico mundo da arte. Sem privilégios ou discriminações, o formato e a forma dessa Obra plural, circular, expõe igualmente os artistas, já experientes ou em início de jornada, sendo o próprio público quem elegerá seus preferidos.

LEDA MARIA, CURATOR

The Project's Thematic required, for the production of the initial two dimensional art pieces, a 60 cm side hexagonal canvas as a substratum. Groups of seven hexagons produced by different artists, conformed in a circular form, brought unity to the concepts artists expressed about their countries. In their final displays, assembled in impressive three-meter diameter circles, the art pieces interacted and complemented each other. This symbiotic union, where each piece spoke for itself, while the group expressed diversity's richness, brought to the exhibit's audiences an innovative and unique approach when combined with the project's final format.

As part of its concept, Show de Bola's exhibits have a traveling component, where different pieces by the artists may simultaneously participate in shows happening in three different cities. Having that in mind, each artist produced three pieces following the guidelines provided. The project's opening exhibits happened in the cities of Piracicaba, state of São Paulo, São Paulo Capital, and in Rio de Janeiro. A side from the use of a physical location, virtual marketing and promotion, as well as the traditional promotional venues supported Show de Bola's vision to become a successful cultural project.

Internationally recognized and established artists were the majority of the artists selected to participate in the project.

However, emerging artists made their statement bringing strong pieces to represent their work. Independently of the professional recognition of the artist's work, all artists joined hands in this project without privileges and discrimination. In the end, the public would be the judge and would elect their favorite pieces.

Show de Bola 2014

Um projeto que aconteceu além da criação artística, encarando abraços e também enormes desafios, mostrando que com união, força, coragem e o espírito de jamais desistir é possível ultrapassar todos os obstáculos e alcançar resultados tangíveis e transformadores, que enobrecem e dão ainda mais valor à riqueza das manifestações de intercâmbio cultural, sempre mantendo firme o propósito maior de quem se dedica de corpo e alma às Artes. Como citou Marcos Barreto Corrêa em seu livro "Do Marketing ao Desenvolvimento Cultural", cultura é o elemento que garante a todos – criadores, artistas e plateias – o direito à celebração de sua identidade, à manifestação de sua sensibilidade e emoção, desenvolvendo, a um só tempo, o espírito crítico, a imaginação e o sentido de coletividade, num processo de conscientização, sociabilização e transformação social.

Certamente, um brinde aos apreciadores das Artes Plásticas.

LEDA MARIA, CURATOR

This project happenead beyond artistic creation and interpretation. It faced the embrace and challenges expected in a project of this magnitude. However, it proved that with union, strength, courage and an unyielding spirit it is possible to surpass the most challenging trials. With this spirit, one can reach tangible and transforming results that make noble while giving a higher value and richness to the international cultural interchange.

In conclusion, this catalog is the fruit of the beginning of this project's journey. It brings you a short overview of one piece from each artist involved in the Show de Bola Project of 2014. We added enough information about each artist for those who would like to learn more about them. As Marcos Barreto Corrêa says in his book “From Marketing to Cultural Development”: Culture is the element that guarantees all, creators, artists and audiences, the right to celebrate their identity, sensibility and emotion, developing at once, a critical spirit, imagination, and a sense of the collective in a process of conscientization, socialization and social transformation.

We are certain that this catalog will become a celebratory toast to the arts, and to all Visual Arts lovers who come across this work.

nicholas broughton ďŹ ne artist australia

Nicholas Broughton is a robust, dedicated artist and is a self-confessed 'addict to the canvas'. He is obsessive about his particular discipline and considers a day without painting to be incomplete. His formative years were spent in Brazil and he learned to adapt to a fascinating and variegated scene where different cultural backgrounds and traditions blend together. The Brazilian artist Di Cavalcanti was an early inuence but after he started painting seriously, the inuence of Picasso, Modigliani and Chagall has dominated his canvasses and sculptures.

Nicholas's clarity of idea and image, and distinctive sense of color attest to his daring individual stance in making powerful impassioned statements.

salomé de cambra fine artist spain

www.decambraflorensa.com

Spanish artist Salomé de Cambra paints in a range of materials. Some of her abstract canvases are so thickly layered that they are practically bas-relief sculptures, yet she is also capable of creating delightful Neo-Figurative landscape paintings. Amidst this varied imagery and set of materials, the Barcelona-based painter remains consistent in her sources of inspiration and her goal: to portray environments marked by human activity that convey a mood or emotion. This applies equally to her oil compositions of skiers slicing down soft, powdery slopes resplendent with wintry sunlight, her mixed media topographical images of landscapes portrayed from above as if via satellite, and her new geometrical compositions evoking the Arabic legacy in the Spanish culture to express her views on the humanity challenges such as Peace, Integration and Passion.

https://www.facebook.com/marcelo.chiarella

Ever since childhood, the artist has been fascinated by the art of the mosaic, be it Byzantine mosaic or any other type of image composed by juxtaposing tiles, stones, pieces of paper, plastic or the likes. By learning drawing and painting techniques, he created his own language through which to interpret an image and "translate" it into mosaic form, using acrylics on canvas to paint the pieces comprising it and take the concept of mosaic to a new dimension where each component is imprinted with a character all its own with regard to predominant color, light and shadow as well as some calligraphic effects.

The end result is a ďŹ gurative piece of artwork consisting of hundreds of tiny abstracts.

June Edwards is an artist living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she gets creative inspiration from the abundance of industrial architecture and machinery found in that region.

She ďŹ nds the huge volumes and shapes attractive: they provide her with a rich source of design possibilities. As an artist, her intention is to create visually compelling abstract compositions of these structures, but she also wants to acknowledge the labor-intensive, vibrant and powerful industries of her hometown. She isolates and adjusts the colors and textures, and compositions emerge as the components are layered, arranged and manipulated. The expressive potential of these industrial shapes are explored as she creates various arrangements.

He is an artist currently living and painting in Pittsburgh, Pa, USA, home of the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers football team, Stanley Cup Champs Pittsburgh Penguins ice hockey team and the World Series winning Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team. He is very seriously committed to creating abstract paintings by systematically exploring the inherent qualities of fluid paint. During the painting process an intuitive arrangement of colors, lines, textures and contrasts determine the compositional visual 'rightness” of the completed piece. For this project, with the game of soccer in mind, he is aware of the action, movements, strategies and joy of winning, and hopes that these emotions are expressed in the painting.

As an artist who enjoys watching sports, he "connects" with the creative moment of decisiveness when all of one's energies are needed in the precise instant to score the goal.

It is an exhilarating moment of courage, an end of conflict, a time to celebrate peace.

After several years of watercolor and drawing, she soon discovered the endless freedom offered by acrylic. Her priority then became the use of color under her guidance to trace multiple paths, lines, shapes and textures. Her work uses light to express powerful emotions through a mixture of contrasts.

linda morin ďŹ ne artist canada

http://lindamorin.com

By combining three artistic movements, automatism, impressionism and expressionism, she reveals a fascinating world where art, fantasy and discovery intersect. The spontaneous and repetitive gestures of her pictorial language are ďŹ lled with vitality which creates a dynamic relationship between the elements of the composition. The subjects become secondary as they are replaced by the symbolism of the whole project that encourages introspection. The abstract and the real both meet in illustrating the coexistence between the concrete object that meets the eye and the lyrical poetry that the brain assimilates. She favors large-scale canvases for the freedom of execution and exploration they allow her.

Throughout her professional career, she has shown her work in many galleries, art centers and museums across Canada and abroad. She has received many awards, grants and honorary mentions for her body of work.

As an artist, Lbetho (Liesbeth Oudshoorn) lives her life with the same intensity and passion with which she paints, so much so that art and life become absolutely inseparable for her. Not restricted by rules, styles or techniques, she lets herself be carried away by artistic inspiration and lapses into imagination using the brush to explore pictorial surfaces and spaces connected to emotions, memory and music. As she plays with creating bright and reďŹ ned compositions, led by a mysterious rhythmical force, she invents forms and colors that are masterly balanced with movement, rhythm, wide brushstrokes and thick layers of matter, thus creating effects of great joy and brightness.

Animals play a starring role in her paintings, but she does not copy animals, she creates her own animals.

Liesbeth donates a major part of her proceeds to charity, to contribute to a better quality of life.

She works in two juxtaposing styles, complementing one another like yin and yang: informal abstract paintings and geometric works. She loves to go beyond the known, making intangible energies tangible. She has exhibited in many cities around the globe and is featured in several international art books.

Ruth's geometric works are expressions of the creative, harmonious vibration underlying all life forms. She approaches her informal abstract works with openness, following the mysterious, creative force that flows through her. The many layers of each painting produce a great depth and profound harmony.

Ruth says: “I consider my art as healing art, expanding consciousness, supporting harmony and balance on an individual and universal level. This is one of my contributions to heal and elevate the world as a whole, as everything and everyone is inextricably linked.”

Born in Brazil and graduated in orthodontics, but as she has much ability with her hands, she always liked to work with art, but not thinking of being a professional, so she has started learning and doing for herself, and realized that many people were interested in her paintings so since last year she has started to exhibit her art. And she had exhibited in Vienna, Bratislava, and SNBA at Carrousel du Louvre. And as you can see I don't have a large curriculum, but I had very good start, and I hope my art will call your attention.

maya vinokurov fine artist canada

www.artfor-life.com

Maya's interest in drawing, painting and designing began at a very early age. Her painting convey a feeling of harmony between nature and humanity, featuring a dab of art deco…a dash of the surreal… a touch of aboriginal charm.

She was born and raised in Latvia where she attended the Academy of Art and graduated from the Graphic Arts program at George Brown in Toronto, Canada.

Maya is pleased to know that art-lovers find her work thought provoking, meaningful, and worthy of frequent visits. Her objective is to continue working in her own contemporary style, combined with techniques of the old master-in an expression of optimism, joy and serenity.

Maya lives and works in Toronto, Canada with her husband.

She has published her work in several art books and exhibits her art in galleries around the world.

Source to my photo works is the world's visible reality as it is. Nature as well as human activities are all in all an endless domain of endemic art basics. My particular feature is to discover, select and process the intrinsic essence from the huge diversity and variety of forms, substances and situations with a discrete power of attraction to be converted into creative artwork. Only a different view on even well known items is able yet to provoke this kind of quality of art. There is a 'detected beauty', which has been already existing but has to be bared and recollected. But ďŹ nally it is no matter of words to get access to this kind of artwork. The key is to realize it subjectively by the individual beholder and his respective perception. In this sense my artwork wants to touch people and at the best to fascinate and to inspire.
