Ideas- how much paint dose it take to show an expression or a feeling, minimalism.

susumu shingu

Im not really into sculpture, but recently i baught this book on Susumu shingu "MESSAGE FROM NATURE", a Japanese sculptor who works with the elements which surround him- wind and water- through kinetic sculpture. He originally started as a painter, but became interested in the natural energy of wind and water, all of his works are site specific, and he has works all over the world, his works are really interesting and unique.

Joint exhibition (Human-Nature)

Briefly, ｔhese are some paintings from a small exhibition i recently appeared in, the Idea behind the works is how humans relate to Nature, how we are affected by it, and how we affect it.

Skate?Surf?Both?

I went for a skate with some Japanese friends who ride longboards, i had a ride on one of the big boards a while ago, and it made me think how far longboarding is seperating for its origin, surfing.

Alot of video's i have see of longboarding have had complicated tricks, and some people can even ollie their boards, but today i could see the style my friend Minori san, he was really relaxed on the board, taking it easy like back in the 60s and 70s where longboarding was about the easy way of life, and flowing with the tides.

Minori san made this long skateboard, and the patterns on the underside are inspired by the hawaiian patterns found on long surfboards, It is a really well made deck, with nice flex.

I think skateboarding started to become more agressive through the movement of the Z boys, who slashed and pushed the boundaries of skating, which was the starting point of the evoloution into todays style .

Its good to go back to the roots every once and a while, and remember where it all began.
