Purple haze….all around….Brisbane beauty each October and November.<br />
<br />
Paris has its greige architecture.....Amsterdam its orange celebrations.....green as only Dublin can do….and here, we have <span style="color: #b4a7d6;">Jacaranda</span> perfection.<br />
<br />
It's a powerful pop of purple intensified by its tropical green settings, contrasted against blue grey skies.<br />

Backyards, footpaths, parklands, riverbanks are swathed in purple petals….squint and you see a violet tinted sky. <br />

I saw something beautiful on the weekend….'Cloud Land' by Robyn Stacey.<br />
<br />
Brisbane….its clouds, architecture, jacaranda trees, environment, people….collide into a magnificent photographic exhibition.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Stacey has used that ancient photographic technique of 'camera obscura' to photograph Brisbane and my oh my what a luscious collection of images she's created.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Major Brisbane landmarks are there. Intriguing people are in the photographs too….each hinting at their own private story.<br />
<br />
You can see the past….you can see the present….maybe even glimpse the future….all richly coloured in rather complicated and distorted settings. <br />
<br />
Clouds on the floor? Cars and buildings on the ceiling? A shadow suggestive of a pedestrian. A red smudge that could be traffic at the intersection. Oh yes….that's camera obscura shaking things up a bit.<br />

For many reasons I am drawn to the art of William Kentridge. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A gifted South African artist, his works are rich, powerful and thought provoking. <br />
<br />
Many of his works focus on the social and political issues of his country.....while others evoke memories and stories of childhood.<br />
<br />
His charcoal drawings are fabulous.…as are his linocuts and etchings…..black + white + erasures + under-drawings + smudges…..maybe a few fine lines of red ink, and maybe a slick of sky blue pastel.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When you look at the works in 'Drawn from Africa', you can easily see that they've been created by a master. Some people just have it….and William Kentridge has it in spades!<br />
<br />
Some were comical, some monumental in size, others subtle and poetic….his animated video created from multiple drawings (+ erasures) was intriguing.<br />

All seemed to have that 'lightness of touch' that truly great artists seem to possess. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, my photographic images of his work, do not, in any way, capture the gorgeousness of the exhibition….they're simply a 'little teaser' for the art of William Kentridge.<br />

It's often said that Melbournians always wear 'black'....and that's certainly seems to be true when you look around the streets of this city....but then, so does Brisbane.....and probably the rest of the world! Paris, London, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Berlin....they, too, 'paint it black' beautifully. <br />
<br />
Wasn't it Yohyi Yamamoto who said, "Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious. But above all black says this: "I don't bother you - don't bother me"."<br />
<br />
Anyway, for whatever reason, black seems to be the colour of choice for many of us.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But who cares.....wear red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and green....if that's your choice.<br />

It's not all 'painted black' however. Melbourne's laneways are awash with a kaleidoscope of colour….with street artists, buskers, tour guides, tourists and the odd local taking a short route to somewhere fast!<br />

Past the iconic Pellegrinis, I headed down a hidden laneway to my favourite, ever so chic Melbournian bolt hole....Blonde Venus.<br />

Hayden was there...charming as ever.<br />
<br />
I remarked on the colours, the textures, the designs, the beauty….a row of the blackest of blacks, punctuated with saturated colour….<span style="color: magenta;">vivid</span> fuchsia +<span style="color: lime;"> vermillion</span> stripes on black wool + a single <span style="color: red;">jonquil yellow </span>sleeve on black wool jersey + <span style="color: orange;">midnight</span> lace + some splendid refashioning of vintage Japanese silks. <br />
<br />
Swoonful….in the extreme!<br />

The designs were pure and flattering.....the cut, sharp and seductive….but as Hayden reminded me…."It's all about the fabric….it all starts with the fabric". Indeed! <br />

It was all exceedingly gorgeous so it was easy to succumb…..in fact, the 40th anniversary made it essential!<br />
<br />
And then next door….to another chic 'hole in the wall', Gallery Funaki….exhibiting "PRIME", Warwick Freeman's sculptural adornments.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Angled stone slices, spheres, cubes and delicate discs of jasper, lapis lazuli, and other ancient stones….solid stone chokers + 'painted' brooches + blackened silver cuffs coated with precious stone dust were displayed on a central white bench. Textural/smooth/spare/elegant….that was "PRIME".<br />

Their 'blossom abode' (<a href="http://stalksandstems.com.au/">http://stalksandstems.com.au/</a>) is filled with fragrance, colour, texture and cosiness.....branch adornments et al dangle from the ceiling, shelves are packed with aromatic potions and treats, and exotic and native blooms are piled high in one corner. I love the place!</div>

At last we're in!!<br />
<br />
There was a lot of this….squeezing big through small….around corners....up stairwells….up and over balconies….and then the inevitable "it won't fit so it has to go!" And believe me, lots went.<br />
<br />
And now 'the light and lightness'. <br />

Cold misty light streaming into windows up high….borrowed tropical light from the neighbour's garden enhances our view….and a lightness of possessions….yes, I'm liking this new chapter.<br />

Such a spoilt little chap….but how can I deny him?<br />
<br />
Off to Melbourne soon….looking forward to that. <br />
<br />
A special date to see Warwick Freeman's new jewellery exhibition at Gallery Funaki…..the "David Bowie is" exhibition is also showing….and a few of Catherine the Great's trinkets, "Masterpieces from the Hermitage" are on show at the National Gallery of Victoria. I reckon I won't see a 'lightness of possessions' in that exhibition!<br />

What a week I've had! <br />
<br />
Birthday parties, celebrations with the hubster, family and friends, dancing on the wild side with Xiu Xiu, and Autumn slowly making its presence felt in Brisbane.<br />
<br />
So, I "struck a pose" for the celebrations.<br />
<br />
Enjoy....I certainly did!<br />

P.S. It'll be a few weeks before I post again as our townhouse is nearing completion and I'll be busy packing, unpacking and settling into our new abode. Can't wait!!!<br />

I'm planning a mass planting of them down the side fence and garden.....could look interesting I think!<br />

We all know that the House of Dior was 'spectacular' under Mr Christian Dior....and it looks like Raf Simons, another extremely creative and sensitive Belgian designer, is set to soar the House into further delirious heights in the future. <br />
<br />
In the documentary, Raf works with his team.....creating, designing and sculpting fabrics, pinning, examining, pondering possibilities, stressing, wanting the impossible etc etc......to create his magnificent haute couture collection.<br />
<br />
We also see him visit the Gerhard Richter exhibition at The Pompidou Centre, which I saw in Paris in 2012 too. <br />
<br />
Glorious, painted splotched, splattered and squeegeed canvasses....from Raf's reaction I think I can safely say that he loved the Richter paintings as much as I did!<br />
<br />
For this collection, Raf collaborated with long term friend and artist, Sterling Ruby, to translate Ruby's fabulous abstract 'splattered and splotched' canvasses to fabric. <a href="http://www.wmagazine.com/people/2014/05/sterling-ruby.../photos/%E2%80%8E">www.wmagazine.com/people/2014/05/sterling-ruby.../photos/</a>. <br />
<br />
Extremely complex....digitally produced....the fabric is finally created and delivered to Raf and it's WOW factor material. <br />
<br />
Sculpting a coat from the 'Ruby' inspired fabric immediately and directly onto the model, Raf chuckles and says,<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">"Romeo Gigli on acid!"</span></i><br />
<br />
So.... here's a little of that 2012 Gerhard Richter exhibition at The Pompidou Centre, Paris.<br />
<br />
It's WOW factor material too....and it's coming to Brisbane!<br />

Have you seen the documentary <i>Handmade in Paris with Love? </i><br />
<br />
It's a French documentary showcasing the unique work of artisans who create embellishments and adornments for French fashion houses and independent designers.<br />
<br />
Think Chanel, Christian Dior, Emmanuel Ungaro, Lacroix, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Louboutin and similar! <br />
<br />
Designers such as these have, for centuries, collaborated with artisans to give that certain unique edge to their collections and shows.<br />
<br />
Bruno Legeron, one of the Parisian artisans featured in <i>Handmade in Paris with Love, </i>has truly mastered the art of being unique! <a href="http://www.legeron.com/en/01_content.html">http://www.legeron.com/en/01_content.html</a><br />

Daily, he makes cloth flowers (created from velvet, silk and leather) and fashions them into exquisite assemblages in his 2nd arrondissement workroom in Paris. His creations are all handmade and gorgeous!<br />
<br />
Designers commission Legeron each season to make those floral + feather adornments that you see perched on shoes, at throats and necklines, attached to a belt or carefully positioned 'just so' in the hair.<br />
<br />
Take, for example, Dries Van Notten. <br />
<br />
A favourite designer of mine, his recent collection featured velvet clutches of flowers and feathers, fastened to a simple ribbon and worn at the neck. The kind of 'ribbon necklace' that you see in those romantic paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries. <br />

Maybe Dries was inspired by 18th-century romantic art or maybe he collaborated with Bruno? <br />
<br />
Who knows but Dries is certainly a master of shape, colour, adornment + unusual fabric combinations. Think canvas + embroidered brocade + ribbon necklaces. <br />
<br />
Relaxed, feminine, unfussy….fabulous!<br />

The David Lynch retrospective, <i>Between Two Worlds</i> opened in Brisbane last Friday...and it's dazzling. <br />
<br />
Fifty years of marvels...little soft explosions!<br />
<br />
The retrospective includes more than 200 rarely seen paintings and drawings from the 1960s, lithographs, photographs of factories and nudes, paintings, and a complete survey of his film, video and television work! <br />
<br />
It is the first major Australian show of Lynch's art, and one of the largest of his works since the Fondation Cartier staged a retrospective in Paris in 2007.<br />

The Opening Night Party People were entranced. I was among them!<br />
<br />
And speaking of being entranced…David attributes his success to his 40 year practise of Transcendental Meditation. <br />
<br />
He says it's made him less anxious, less fearful and less angry, and happier….allowing him to 'catch the big fish'…those creative ideas when they arise.<br />
<br />
David's view is that it enhances his creativity, provides him with a deeper self-awareness or consciousness and gives him much, much more energy to create. <br />
<br />
His work oozes self-confidence and energy…authentic…surreal, dreamlike, violent, erotic, sensual, amusing, weird….but never, ever mediocre. <br />
<br />
A free-flowing creative mind is a wonderful thing to see don't you think?<br />
<br />
Here's a glimpse of the dazzling opening night.<br />

Madonna Staunton is a well-respected Queensland artist with a national and international reputation. She is known for her assemblage and collage work, as well as her paintings.<br />
<br />
The Queensland Art Gallery recently exhibited a retrospective of her work....where one could get up close and personal to these extraordinary artworks.<br />
<br />
I say 'extraordinary'....but actually Madonna has a practice of using 'ordinary' materials to create her assemblages and collages.<br />
<br />
I appreciate the way she uses everyday, found, chipped, scratched, flaky, scribbled, weathered objects to assemble her unconventional paths to beauty. The muted tones and colours in her paintings also scream emotion.<br />
<br />
I like that concept.....finding beauty in the simple, natural, imperfect, withered, old, rusty, stained and speckled objects we use and discard every day. Not for me all that glammed up, glossy, shiny, fake perfection that is thrust upon us these days. <br />
<br />
It's that Japanese aesthetic that I appreciate….wabi sabi....which, unknowingly, I've applied to many parts of my life for many years. Yes, give me tattered, torn, hand-painted and stained papers, a bunch of withered coffee-coloured rose buds, loose threads hanging from a linen skirt or sleeve, the deckled edges of my drawing papers, rusty sheds and their hidden rusty treasure, even a loose arrangement of lichen-covered sticks can have great charm.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's Madonna's unconventional beauties....I hope you like them as much as I do.<br />

Lush and green...the rain has certainly worked its magic (and its destruction) too, over the last week.<br />
<br />
Now, after the cyclone and rain...that ever present moist, damp, tropical air envelops us!<br />
<br />
Well, that's Queensland in February I guess.<br />
<br />
Once the rains ceased, we couldn't wait to get out and about and enjoy that sunshine.<br />
<br />
But first, a cool, slow stroll through the gallery...and then lolling in the sculpture garden. Nice! <br />
<br />
I felt tangled up in<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> green.</span><br />
<br />
Nope, with all this beauty around you, you wouldn't be dead for quids?<br />

Whenever I go into this sculpture garden at the Queensland Art Gallery, I'm reminded of the time I sat in Rodin's garden in Paris, and sketched his magnificent sculptures and those roses. Had the best time! <br />
Looking at the Rodin sculptures…their angles, curves, spaces, light and shadows….my wonderful art teacher guided and advised. Thank you Pauline. Next time you happen to be in Paris, and if you have time, do a drawing class….you'll love it! <a href="http://www.paulinefraisse.com/">http://www.paulinefraisse.com/</a><br />
Note to self: Bring pencils and paper next time and draw in here. You don't have to wait to go to Paris Robyn!</td></tr>

So I'm just taking it easy and enjoying the rains...the "Rains of Ranchipur" as a friend is wont to say!<br />
<br />
Actually, this rain reminds me of the time I visited Alcåzar, in Seville, Spain. <br />
<br />
The hubster and I were chasing the sun…Paris had been raining for months and months and months…so we headed south to Seville for a few days to boost our Vitamin D levels!<br />
<br />
We'd always wanted to see Alcåzar, too, that beautiful royal Moorish palace and garden smack bang in the middle of Seville.<br />
<br />
However, those Parisian rain clouds followed us…nothing but rain all the time we were there…but oh, those rich colours!<br />
<br />
The rain had intensified the colours too…making them rich, glossy and bright.<br />
<br />
So I'd like to show you some of that glorious Alcåzar colour….and contrast it with black and white images of one of our beautiful, Brisbane parklands. Hope you like it.<br />
<br />

Miegunyah was the home of a well-to-do Brisbane family, the Perry family, back in the 1890s. Today, however, it's an historical museum filled with oodles of gilded and textile treasures.<br />

There was an exhibition of textiles on show….schoolgirl 'samplers' from the 1800s - 1900s.<br />
<br />
I've been collecting beautiful textiles for years so I definitely didn't want to miss this. More on the 'sampler' exhibition below.<br />
<br />
But first, a glimpse of those Miegunyah gilded treasures.<br />

The textile exhibition of 'samplers'.....those lovely little 'linen samplers' that school girls lovingly and carefully stitched every Friday afternoon from Grades 4 - 5 in Queensland schools….was special.<br />
<br />
Many of the samplers on exhibit were embroidered with dates and the various girls' names. Samplers from Evelyn, Norma, Gertie, Amelia, Maria etc etc spanned the 1800s and 1900s.<br />
<br />
'Needlework', way back then, was prescribed by law under Regulation 50 (1867) no doubt, to ensure that women had the appropriate 'housewifely' skills to sew on a button, insert a zip, hem a skirt or trouser pant, ruche a sleeve band or collar, darn a holey sock etc etc. <br />
<br />
Well, those skills were essential for the age…no bargains via on-line shopping then. No local shopping centres open until 6pm every evening! A housewife had to know how to sew, cook, clean…to stretch that family budget.<br />
<br />
Ahhh….those good old fashioned ways! <br />
<br />
A golden age that taught practical and useful skills to enhance family life. <br />
<br />
And I can't tell you how often I've used my modest stitchery skills!<br />
<br />
Just recently I hemmed some white linen….decided on a wabi sabi hem with black cross stitch! Looks very swish too….XXXXXXXX…. thanks regulation 50!!!!<br />

Anyways, the blurb for the exhibition said:<br />
<br />
"<i>Performance Now</i> brings together work by some of the most significant artists of today to explore the ephemerality of live performance and how this is captured by artists and transformed into new work that contains the power and content of the original."<br />
<br />
Not particularly succinct and to the point I grant you.<br />

But, in a word...it was.... brilliant! Now that's succinct and to the point.<br />
<br />
That's what William Kentridge asks of himself in his brilliant interview (see below). He asks, "Can you be succinct and to the point.....for the general public?"<br />
<br />
Enjoy? I certainly did. <br />
<br />
The video performances were varied, mysterious, wild, mad, abstract, funny, disturbing, crazy, interesting....and definitely worth the time. I'm going back again!!!!!!<br />
<br />
So pull up one of the gallery's bean bags (tho getting up is always a bit tricky these days ) and ponder their meaning!<br />

Heaps more on offer too. But I hope this is just enough to whet your appetite.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been to see Lindy Lee's exhibition at the UQ Art Museum a few times now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's so beautiful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's peaceful too...in a funny kind of way. Meditative, rich, glistening, spiritual...all these words spring to mind when I think of Lindy's exhibition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lindy was born in Brisbane. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her Chinese heritage has informed her work over the years too. Some works draw on iconic Western Art images...obliterated...disappearing under layers and layers of ink….as if Lindy is saying…"Western Art??? It's not me!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's an incredible body work! Imagine feeling comfortable and being part of two cultures at the one time…Australian and Chinese. I think it would be very normal to be asking yourself, "What am I…Australian or Chinese?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lindy is also a Buddhist….and her fire blistered/punctured works certainly, for me, took on a spiritual, almost meditative presence. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Standing quietly, and very close to these works…watching the breeze gently lift those heavily blistered papers…shadows appearing on the walls…what glorious minutes they were.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you enjoy Lindy Lee's exhibition. I certainly did.</div>

Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) presents the most wonderful exhibitions.<br />
<br />
Currently, there's a block buster if you happen to like beauty, elegance, subtlety, mystery, imperfect perfection etc etc (aka Japanese aesthetics).<br />
<br />
It's called "Future Beauty - 30 Years of Japanese Fashion". <br />

Japanese fashions from 1980s through to the present are on view. Extraordinary really....the exhibition's been beautifully and thoughtfully curated, there's pop-up and 'pocket' stores where you can buy Japanese and Japanese inspired merchandise....all beautiful and absolutely essential!<br />
<br />
On Friday nights (after hours) there the Future Beauty Up-Late shows....you know, with great bands, DJs, designer talks, Japanese food, fab wine bar and slow, unencumbered walks through the exhibition.<br />
<br />
We've been twice with friends....and last night an amazing little band played. <br />
<br />
Shonen Knife!!!!! Three Japanese girls, pint-sized and as cute as..........but could they rock! <br />
<br />
Here's how the night went.<br />

Duhhh!!!!!!! Silly 'rule' isn't it? But I suppose it does cost a lot of $$$$ to publish their catalogues!!<br />
But there were lots of interesting videos and exhibits outside the exhibition where the beautiful people were rockin' .</td></tr>
