🌊 Artist: #ZOERISM / #FredBattleZoerism in City: #Ingolstadt /Goethestraße 96-100/ Germany 🇩🇪 11/2024 - Title: "Komplizen" ("Accomplice") - (📷 by Johannes Hauser Fotografie) - #Art #Streetart #Mural #UrbanArt #Artist
Streetartwall. A magnificent mural depicting a rushing river has been painted on the outside wall of a two-storey house. The image is positioned between four windows, painted in a naïve style and designed like an oil painting with bold colors and skillful brushstrokes. The mural shows a flood, a raging blue river on which an orange-colored car is being swept along and is now floating past the houses on the other bank.  Five dark-haired young men in modern, colorful clothing stand in the foreground on the bank between trees. With their hands in their pockets, they watch the scene impassively. Meanwhile, one of the men is fishing with a rod. It is unclear to the viewer whether the river has already burst its banks.
Info: The subject and motif were freely selectable. "The possible flooding is intended to reflect the uncertainty in society," explains the artist. Incidentally, the model for the five young men were his friends.


I just made this locket with a tiny piece of a Ham@s grenade that exploded on Oct 7th and which was stuck in a chair, which my Dad's student used for a design project at Sapir university, after her house was damaged by the terror attack. My parents and her survived, I made this for her today in kibbutz Gevim, with a Magen David and Amethyst gemstones because in Hebrew Amethyst is called Achlama, meaning, the "healing" gemstone. I think of it as a symbol of protection and survival, with a wish of healing for all of our survivors.

This is not for sale, just an emotional piece I wanted to share with you, if you'd like to see my judaica works for sale visit my website here: https://emmanuelleskaly.com/

« Great literature, past or present, is the expression of great knowledge of the human heart; great art is the expression of a solution of the conflict between the demands of the world without and that within. »

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 190.

Howard Hibbard's Caravaggio (1983) is a good survey of the life & art of the artist, based round an account of (just) the firmly attributed paintings. Hibbard offers few speculations & grounds his biographical elements in the historical consensus. The account of the works is insightful & well-judged, but overall the book remains a little underwhelming given the excitement Caravaggio's work can elicit; a good but not a great book.
