This exhibition will feature a selection of 2D miniature artworks in a variety of mediums and styles from abstract to representational, from Liverpool and North West based artists, children and all those who love being artistically creative or are simply talented within the fine arts. As we are approaching Christmas festivities, we would like the audience to be delighted to support this project with their visits and votes for the best artworks on show. Volunteers for Jury members and all donations are welcomed to support the project.
Why not join in and help to write 2D “Merry Christmas” on the walls of Gallery4allarts, on Lark Lane, decorate an indoors 3D Christmas tree sculptural installation and pack walls with your miniature artworks by creating and submitting 1-15 miniature size artworks by latest 5th December 2009.
For a better understanding and artistic performance related to this miniature exhibition Gallery4allarts is preparing for, I would like to ask those who (whether they are coming from a professional art background or not), are willing to submitting work, to read the notes and extracts mentioned below regarding the “miniature” painting and art in general and the origins of the “miniature” term itself.
“The
term "miniature", as it addresses miniature
painting, is often confused with "miniaturize" and
some miniature art exhibitions do not refer to miniature
as it's initial meaning of techniques, but rather the
size of the painting (miniaturized painting). They
are two very separate descriptions. (extract from
article: “Miniature
Painting - A Brief History of the Art of Miniature”,
an article by: Rebecca Latham).
This particular exhibition and competition, open to everyone, is willing to
focus and refer to “miniature” art and limit the size of the artwork
submitted. The biggest dimensions should not exceed 12cm x 18cm. All mediums
are welcome.
A randomly selected jury panel will be asked to judge upon various factors
such as: ideas, talent, innovation (technique wise and uniqueness) and quality
of work, technique. Curator, of this show and competition, is the artist
of Romanian origins, Nicole Bartos representing Gallery4allarts.
Exhibition will open on the11 December 2009 and will end on the 30 January 2010.
Please, read extract from "A brief History of the Art of Miniature" by Rebecca Latham.

New
Photography Exhibition:
“
EMERGENT LIGHT” by Roxana Tohaneanu-Shields
@
The Ratiu Foundation / Romanian Cultural Centre, Manchester
Square, 18 Fitzhardinge Street, London W1H 6EQ;
Opening times: Mon - Fri 12.00 - 18.00. Admission free
(booking essential, by phone or e-mail at bookings@romanianculturalcentre.org.uk).
Tel. 020 7486 0295 ext. 108
Private View
Monday 7 December 2009 at 19.00. Entry is free but
booking is essential.
Roxana Tohaneanu-Shields will be in conversation with
Mihai Risnoveanu, Artistic Consultant of the Romanian
Cultural Centre in London, on the subject of her photographs.
The public is encouraged to take part in this open
discussion.
“The ongoing contemporary debate about photography as an art form raises interesting questions about the status of photography. For artist photographers the medium of photography is indubitably a modern art form which deals with all aspects of life. My main interest in this debate is crystallised in two ways: theoretically through my philosophical enquiries into the Aesthetics of Photography and practically through my own work, especially my abstract photography.
Because a photograph needs to be ‘an image of something’, photography as an artistic process seems to be predetermined by the existence of a particular real subject. Sometimes I accept this predetermination and try to capture the magic of mundane urban scenes, but at other times I choose to rebel and create images where the real subject is not recognisable and appears to have a new existence. Most of my work is film based photography in an attempt to resist the digital ubiquity. Because of this rebellion my recent images seem to evade a clear categorisation. I play with inversed perspective, I avoid reference points by using close-ups and I use the natural light in a particular way.
The ‘Emergent Light’ photographs are a series of works where the light is the subject and the catalyst at the same time. Trying to capture the beauty and fluidity of light is attempted through traditional photography (no manipulation is allowed) and particular view points (usually close-ups). What the eye of my camera records is a fragment of a momentary reality – the splitting of light on the surfaces of often very mundane domestic objects. These images have a very painterly quality which betrays my interest in colour, texture and abstraction.” – Roxana Tohaneanu-Shields
Roxana Tohaneanu-Shields is a Romanian born artist who lives and works in the UK . Having graduated from Bucharest University in Philosophy in 1998 she took a further degree in Art and Philosophy at The University of Reading where she is currently researching for a PhD in Aesthetics. She has exhibited her work in a number of galleries and art museums including The Art Museum of Constanta, The Art Museum of Brasov, Gallery4allarts at the Independent Liverpool Biennial 2008, the Other Gallery London, The Ecology Pavilion in Mile End and The Stroud House Gallery. Roxana works in a variety of media but her principal interest is in photography.

"The Journey of Thought or Meditations"
An exhibition of most recent oil paintings by Nicole Bartos
Artist’ Statement:
“The
rhythm and vibration of my work is determined by the
levels of energy and the waves of thought.
By allowing space, energy and irrational expressions, of the subconscious mind,
to take form through the tip of each brush or painting knife, meditation follows;
I relax and certainly heal (energy wise).
Those exercises that come from an awareness or ‘mimicry’ of a certain
feeling are mostly performed in silence or, accompanied by (classical) music.
I intend to achieve 'nothing' as a state of mind, which means no more
unwanted thoughts. As most people know, is not always easy to achieve this,
to let go, have
'nothing'. Prayer and dance, meditative movement or music,
all help.
Similar
to poetry or other writing process, such as calligraphy
(Oriental), inspired at different hours/days or by
different states of mind, some of my work cycles vary
through the working manner and subject, as I try to
express a specific state of mind; painting allows me
to find my ‘inner self’, while wondering
within meditative moments; it takes me on that ‘journey
of thought’... Eventually, I find the true expression
of one single moment.
I impose myself a process to expressing inner energies through colour; this
helps with ‘balance’ and 'cleansing' of the aura; 'releasing'/ ’spending’ the
old and 'collecting' new energies, as I am taught through Qi Gong.
I hope that these works are to be enjoyed and resonated with.”
Nicole
Bartos, Liverpool based artist, originally from Romania,
has been working and exhibiting since 1997 in the field
of abstract, experimental (research) and conceptual
art using a range of media: mixed-media, installation,
land-art, ceramics/ sculpture, painting, drawing and
photography. As painting styles she admires the works
of Soulages, Zao Wu-Ki, Chagall, some Oriental art
and calligraphy, etc.
She acknowledges art as a ‘healing force’ and therapeutic. Independently,
Nicole has been curated many art projects and exhibitions to date, including
international exhibitions for the Liverpool Biennial & Independents.
Since,
2006 Nicole has initiated and developed Gallery4allarts (www.gallery4allarts.com).
While curating, the artist exhibits through solo and group art exhibitions,
holds art workshops and Qi Gong sessions. Commissions accepted for painting,
small scale murals and recycle furniture transforming it into artwork.
