Reading Contemporary Art Fair will be opened by Sir John Madejski OBE DL

Date/Time: Saturday, 24th April and Sunday, 25th April 2010
Venue: Rivermead Leisure Complex, Richfield Avenue, Berkshire, RG1 8GQ

Organiser Sarah McAllister says: “We are very excited about launching the Reading Contemporary Art Fair, our events have always been about bringing stimulating new art to the widest possible audience. We present our exhibitors in a relaxed but professional setting, giving them the best platform to showcase their work while allowing them to talk about their art directly with the public – something few other art shows do. Our aim is to de-mystify the art world and make it truly accessible to everyone.”

Exhibitors include artists from all over the UK, Europe and a strong contingent from the local area.
The interactive element of the fair is very important. Visitors will be able to participate in workshops by Reading’s own artists’ group Jelly.

"Georges Lepape Wine Painting", Wine Art by k Madison Moore

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

12 x 22 inches

Oil on Canvas

There's a little something in this painting

that should not be there.

Can you find it?

I had such fun painting it that I did this

  intentionally so you could join in the fun too!

Find it......leave a comment! 

The answer is in comments.

 

 

Lepape Wine Master

This was such a fun painting.

As soon as I thought of it I sketched it out

and painted it. Just thinking about it made me laugh.

A lot of nice glazes and details but hard to see with

my photography.

Enjoy!

  

(showing here with floater frame, not icluded-

but can be supplied)

 

Georges Lepape: Studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, and the ateliers of Humbert and Cormon. In 1911 illustrated Les Choses de Paul Poiret and the following year programmes for the Ballet Russe . Innumerable magazines covers and fashion plates for La Gazette du Bon Ton and Vogue.

In 1911, Poiret again published a brochure of his designs, this time created by another young artist, Georges Lepape, who had been trained in the atelier run by Fernand Cormon, where Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, Sérusier, Matisse, and Picabia had all studied. Les Choses de Paul Poiret, vues par Georges Lepape appeared in a larger edition: one thousand copies were printed (Paris: 1911). Lepape, too, had absorbed the lessons of bright color taught by the Ballet Russes, and his pochoir prints of Poiret's still high-waisted fashions in this brochure and later in the Gazette du Bon Ton used line drawings with large areas of blues, greens, reds, pinks, and yellows.

"Picasso Blue Series Exhibit" Oil Painting by k Madison Moore

 Picasso - Blue Period Exhibit I

10 x 10 inches
Oil Painting

SOLD

Picasso's Painting
"Le Gourmet"

I think Picasso is on my top favorites list of artists.
Every time I do an exhibit with his paintings
I am inspired to do even more. This is the first oil painting of
Picasso's "Blue Period" Exhibits. I will be doing more along
with his Rose Period. This painting is finished on the sides and ready to hang.

To learn more about Picasso's Blue Period click here

The Blue Period (Spanish: Periodo Azul) of Picasso is the period between 1900 and 1904, when he painted essentially monochromatic paintings in shades of blue and blue-green, only occasionally warmed by other colors. These somber works, inspired by Spain but painted in Paris, are now some of his most popular works, although he had difficulty selling them at the time.

Alphonse Mucha, Wine Painting by k Madison Moore

Alphonse Mucha Wine Label

9 x 12 inches

Oil Painting

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

_____________

Alphonse Mucha Wine Label Painting -
Such fun painting this Wine Label.  I really love the Art Deco / Art Nouveau

artists and I think they make the greatest wine label paintings.

The artists from that period always did so much detail in their work

and you know I just love detail. I think this is what appeals to

me so much in Mucha, Erte and Barbier's work.

I will definitely be painting a lot of wine labels

from that period. In this painting the model is taking a step into
reality with her flowing gown.

______

Alphonse Maria Mucha  listen (help·info) (24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939) was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, most well known for his images of women. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements and designs.
 Mucha produced a flurry of paintings, posters, advertisements, and book illustrations, as well as designs for jewelery, carpets, wallpaper, and theatre sets in what was initially called the Mucha Style but became known as Art Nouveau (French for 'new art'). Mucha's works frequently featured beautiful healthy young women in flowing vaguely Neoclassical looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed halo's behind the women's heads.

Kandinsky Wine Oil Painting by k Madison Moore

  

 Wine Label Wassliy Kandinsky

11 x 14 inches

Oil Painting

Wassily Kandinsky Wine Label

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

Another Kandinsky but I just couldn't resist when I

came up with the idea for blue glass. I have nothing blue

in my entire home but when I saw the blue wine glasses

I had to buy them. Of course we had to have a blue

wine bottle to match. This was a fun painting

especially distorting the reflection in the glasses.

Enjoy!

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (English pronunciation: /kənˈdɪnski/; Russian: Васи́лий Васи́льевич Канди́нский, Vasilij Vasil'evič Kandinskij; 4 December [O.S. 4 December] 1866 – 13 December 1944) was a Russian painter, and art theorist. He is credited with painting the first modern abstract works.

In 1896 he settled in Munich and studied first in the private school of Anton Ažbe and then at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. He went back to Moscow in 1914 after World War I started. He was unsympathetic to the official theories on art in Moscow and returned to Germany in 1921. There he taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture from 1922 until the Nazis closed it in 1933. He then moved to France where he lived the rest of his life, and became a French citizen in 1939. He died at Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1944.

Miro Wine Master Oil Painnting by k Madison Moore

Joan Miro Wine Label Oil Painting

10 x 12 inches

Connoisseur Wine Masters Series

I absolutely loved, loved, loved painting this wine label painting.

Red is my favorite color so I am always my happiest when using it

in my paintings.
Joan Miro was such a free spirit and did not let the art

world dictate to him on the way things should be done as far as, palettes colors

and style. He remained free and painted many different styles. I admire this

as this is also my very true feeling of being an artist. Many artists stick to one style,

one subject, one palette.
Personally I will paint all, try many styles and use

as many beautiful colors as I can mix. This wine label painting was truley felt

every inch of the way with a variety of reds and a brilliant contrasting color palette. Enjoy!

Joan Miro - In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for  conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeoise society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favor of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.
Generally thought of as a Surrealist because of his interest in automatism and the use of sexual symbols (for example, ovoids with wavy lines emanating from them), Miró’s style was influenced in varying degrees by Surrealism. However, he rejected membership to any artistic movement in the interwar European years.
Miró was among the first artists to develop  automatic drawing as a way to undo previous established techniques in painting.MIro along with Andr'e Masson, represented the beginning of . Surrealism as an art movement. However, Miró chose not to become an official member of the Surrealists in order to be free to experiment with other artistic styles without compromising his position within the group. He pursued his own interests in the art world, ranging from automatic drawing and Surrealism, Expressionism, Color field painting.

"How did I think up my drawings and my ideas for painting? Well I'd come home to my Paris studio in Rue Blomet at night, I'd go to bed, and sometimes I hadn't any supper. I saw things, and I jotted them down in a notebook. I saw shapes on the ceiling..."

Cocktails with Pablo, wine painting, art within art, k Madison Moore

Cocktails with Pablo

SOLD  This morning

Thanks MS - Canada
 

16 x 20 inches

Oil on Canvas

Art within Art Series

I had such fun designing this one. I am still looking through old photos and things from my 

storage  from years ago.  This is another painting with thoughts in mind from when I was

young finding my way around the art world and was modeling and then into fashion design for runway models. The four dresses and accessories on the models in the front row were actual designs of mine that were executed and were all in one show. It was very exciting for me as a young designer.

Thought it would make a great painting combining my designs into an Art within Art Composition.

I have so many sketches of fashion and design in these old portfolios that I have decided to use a lot of them in my Art within Art Series, of course along with my excerpts from the Masters. These paintings will  come in on a very personal level in this series. My love for all phases of art and design.

Most of the Art with Art Series will be in larger format than my usual 10 x 12 , 9 x 12 sizes.

This painting took me a very, very long to create interest with all the details om a 16" x 20" format.

Esref Armagan The Artists with No eyes

Eşref Armağan - The Blind Painter

Esref Armagan

If I had not seen this gentlemen paint with my own eyes I would not have believed it. I saw a show about him on TV last week while nursing my flu and just had to do a splash on my blog about him. This is an amazing story......

Eşref Armağan (born 1953) is a blind painter of Turkish origin. He was born both unsighted and to an impoverished family. As a child and young adult he never received any formal schooling or training; however, he has taught himself to write and print. He draws and paints by using his hands and primarily oil paints. In this manner, Mr. Armagan has been perfecting his art for the past thirty-five years.
He needs absolute quiet when working. First, using a Braille stylus, he etches an outline of his drawing. He needs to feel that he is "inside" his painting-- in fact, when he is drawing a picture of the sea, he often wonders if he should wear a life jacket so as not drown! When he is satisfied with his drawing, he starts to apply the oils with his fingers. Because he applies only one color at a time (the colors would smear otherwise), he must wait two or three days for the color to dry before applying the next color. This method of painting is entirely unique to Mr. Armagan. He receives no assistance or training from any individual. He also learned to draw perspective.
He has also developed his own methods of doing portraits. He asks a sighted person to draw around a photograph, then he turns the paper over and feeling it with his left hand, he transfers what he feels onto another sheet of paper, later adding color. He has done portraits of the former first lady of Turkey, the current president and current prime minister.
In 2008 two researchers from Harvard, Dr. Amir Amedi and Dr. Alvaro Pascual-Leone, tried to find more about neural plasticity using Mr. Armagan as a study case.[1] Both scientists had evidence that in cases of blindness, the "visual" cortex acts differently than how it acts with the non-blind. Pascual-Leone has found that Braille readers use this very same area for touch. Amedi, together (with Ehud Zohary) at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (Israel), found that the area is also activated in verbal memory tasks. When Amedi analyzed the results, however, he found that Armagan's visual cortex lit up during the drawing task, but hardly at all for verbal recall, meaning that some unused visual areas might be used in collaboration with ones needs from the brain. Moreover in scans that were held while Armagan drew, his visual cortex signals seamed as he was seeing to the extant that a naive viewer of his scan might assume Armagan really could see.
Mr. Armagan is married with two children. He has displayed his work at more than 20 exhibitions in Turkey,Italy,China,Holland and the Czech Republic. He has appeared several times on television and in the press in Turkey and has been on programs on BBC and ZD. In 2004, he was the subject of a study of human perception, conducted by the psychologist John Kennedy of University of Toronto.
