Let's start with the first event that has taken place at the beginning of the month:
The Alumni show of the Florence Academy of Art was hold as usual at the Corsini Family Stables, a beautiful location here in Florence, which enchants with its elegance and rustic charme. Luckily the weather-god meant well with us at both openings, Patron's Preview as well as the Public Opening, and after having visited the exhibition the crowd of artist's and art followers could gather in the surrounding gardens and discuss the works. It was a very impressive show and projects were ambitious in many aspects, not only in size and technique but also in terms of subject matter and showing a profound artist's vision. One could also see that we as artist's, being trained at the same school, are having a common language to express ourselves, but the show illustrated a very rich range of variety of style and how each and every draftsman, painter and sculptor takes it his own, personal direction.
Here some impressions:
Two of my favorites (though there was many really great paintings, those two I could connect with on a more personal level) are "L'inverno" by Maureen Hyde and "Where We Rest" by Sofia A. Romark:
Finally myself, who participated with "La Farfalla - Something's rising, something's falling""Mushrooms & Rosehips"and "Pesto alla Genovese"
