It will be nearly half a century since Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring", just over five since Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth", and less than three years since Anya Hindmarch's "I'm not a plastic bag" eco-bag hit the shelves. The grassroots have taken hold fostering mainstream fashion and a green life style. This may be a victory of ideology, yet at the same time, has matured into a new social norm that suspiciously smells of capitalism. The replacements are still a chain in consumption. Ecological compact fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury, and biofuels have an impact beyond ethanol production. If sustainability is narrowly defined as a closed system that produces what it consumes, by all means, the boundary conditions leave us hanging, looking for more. What can this more, be? absolutearts.com Syndications 2009-11-26T04:00:00+05:00 http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2009/11/26/35818.html Natalia O'Neill will participate in a group exhibition, Art in Mind, held at The Brick Lane Gallery, London, UK.

Art in Mind is an ongoing group exhibition offering emerging artists a platform to showcase their work to a fresh and growing London audience.

Yu's recent paintings intuitively explore her personal interest in photographic realism and non-representational textures. She explores the field of portraiture through this combination to express the inner emotions of modern day humanity. Chromatically muted but melancholically seductive, her paint touches wood only to reluctantly register some ghostly presence, like that of the white chemise in Revati (2009) which functions somewhat as the hollowed-out shell of an unseen, unidentifiable being. Revati incidentally is also the name of a princess in Hindu mythology whose adventures with her King-father to the realm of Lord Brahma the Creator - got her caught in a time dilation fix where time runs differently on parallel planes of existence. One minute in Heaven may be one year on Earth. No one really knows whether the woman in the picture is here or elsewhere, despite being locatable by her titular placement at the window or in the bathroom. absolutearts.com Syndications 2009-11-26T04:00:00+05:00 http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2009/11/26/35821.html Ana Cristea Gallery is delighted to present a group show, which includes the work of Peter Sudar, John Stark, Leonard Vartic and Ioan Cristea. The spectrum of the show lies under the soft gaze of nostalgia. Each of the artists engages the past, with the thrill of capturing its moments. But, as nostalgia remains firmly grounded in the present, the four artists challenge us with their unique vision of the past while sharing their contemporary secrets with the world. Although all of these artists hail from Europe, their work inevitably addresses divergent issues and contains varied themes. Moreover, it reflects individuals who possess their own pictorial language, which is critical to how their distinctive subject matter is conveyed. absolutearts.com Syndications 2009-11-26T04:00:00+05:00
