Ensoñación, Seher.
Seher | Mexico City, 1983.
Just a couple of moths ago, Seher presented at Vice Gallery in Mexico City “Ensoñación” (Dreaminess). This is his first solo show, and took him almost a year to present it. “I reinterpret, from perception, the way I see nature.” A fantastic show, with almost 30 pieces including canvases, drawings and a fiberglass sculpture.
Javier Iglesias Algora, founder and director of Belio wrote an exquisite text to present the exhibition.
“Hay quienes sostienen que soñamos en blanco y negro, otras personas dicen haber soñado en colores y algunos defienden que no se sueña en colores, ni en blanco y negro, que lo que se sueña son conceptos, ideas que interpretamos una vez que despertamos. Hay quien duerme para siempre, incluso con los ojos abiertos, y también hay personas que despiertan y trascienden esta realidad, esta ilusión. Las ensoñaciones de Seher se sitúan a medio camino entre la realidad y el sueño, entre estar despierto y estar dormido. Sus obras son como un puente que conecta dos mundos, la realidad en blanco y negro y la fantasía multicolor.
Al igual que sus obras, el estilo de Seher One conecta distintos puntos de la expresión artística: ilustración, diseño gráfico, pintura, graffiti, … y más allá de los géneros Seher bebe de influencias enraizadas en la cultura de los noventa: la estética de las calles, del skateboard, de los tatuajes, de los movimientos musicales, … sin olvidar a un nivel más profundo, y tal vez más inconsciente, influencias del pop art y la psicodelia. Seher funde todos estos referentes en su propio estilo, un estilo que aún está forjando y que seguramente el tiempo lo perfilará y lo despojará de elementos superfluos y otras distorsiones.
Viendo la trayectoria de Seher, viendo sus obras anteriores y sus nuevas ensoñaciones que aquí presenta, podemos afirmar sin ninguna duda que Seher quiere mostrarnos el momento preciso en el que la naturaleza eclosiona, dejando que la magia, la alquimia y los colores trasciendan la materia y dejen atrás un mundo gris y vacío. Seher One nos está desvelando de este “no sueño” del “no tiempo” y nos muestra lo que podrá ser el paso a la otra realidad.”

Betriebsausflug Hamburg -> Leipzig: IBUg Betriebssystem LE-HH
This weekend the awesome project „Betriebsausflug“ 2012 will come to an end – but fortunatelay only in Leipzig! The tour will continue in Hamburg at the end of May.The „Betriebsausflug“ is an exchange project between several artist networks and creative spaces in Hamburg and Leipzig. More than 250 artists from Hamburg migrate for some weeks to Leipzig and participate in great exhibitions at several interesting off-spaces all over the city.
The city of Leipzig is full of free and cheap spaces for artists – still – in the opposite to Hamburg, where the well-known Gentrification-processes has nearly eliminated such spaces. Therefore the exchange will carve out the differences of the citiy spaces, the different atmosphere of the two cities, the different living and working conditions, the effort of the artists in both cities to survive and to co-create the cities. The project is an experiment and a platform for discussions, reflexion and research.
One of the creative locations and participating projects is the IBUg Betriebssystem LE-HH feat. Stuka, Verstyler, Zonenkinder, Christian Rug, Leif Lobinsky, Threehouse, dial, Zone56, Flamat, Gab, Jolly Fellow und co, Rebelzer, Los Priatoz, Maxi Kretzschmar, Tshunc, Help, Tasek, Simo, Kim-Fabian von Dall´Armi.
Here are some impressions:

Corazón Sangrante by Saner.
Last week Mexico City-based artist, Saner presented Corazón Sangrante (Bleeding Heart) at Fifty24SF Gallery in San Francisco, a new series of works with his first solo exhibition ever in San Francisco, after making a great exhibition at FIFTY24MX Gallery in Mexico City. Mexican folklore, masks, customs, skulls and mysticism fill the gallery with new paintings and drawings on paper.
As written by FIFTY24MX, Saner’s “free and unpretentious spirit allows him to express a new Mexican vision.” Saner titled this exhibition “Corazón Sangrante” (Bleeding Heart), while reflecting on the things he saw around him: violence, anger, happiness, anxiety, and fear. Saner says these are the issues that most Mexicans deal with.
“El corazón debe dejar de sangrar lagrimas rojas”

Serhiy Radkevych aka TECK
Graduated from the National Academy of Arts in Lviv, Departament of Paintings. He has been engaged in Street Art for more then 7 years. In 2010 Teck was one of the organiser and participant of the Black Circle Festival in the town of Poninka. He lives in the city of Lviv.
Last year you started some religious series: “Holy faces” and “Holy Sepulcher”. Are you a religious person ?
Yes, I am religious person. Greek Catholic (Orthodox).
My urban interventions hold the balance between contemporary murals and graffiti. They shift the meaning of the space they occupy. My subjects originate from religious iconography, I combine simplified religious symbols with geometrical forms to arrive at contemporary spiritual abstract form. I seek out public and private spaces which have lost their function or have an undefined meaning, then transform them into spiritual signal spaces.
I can imagine you experience very different reactions from the public when you a paint a Jesus portrait than when you write letters.
When I paint a Jesus portrait I can hear more expressive reaction from the public than when I write letters. Paintings with some social, religious or historical aspects of life is more interesting for the public than abstract art & letter writing.
We know Ukraine is extremely cold on winter. Do you only paint on spring & summer
time ?
When I have nice idea I can paint in summer or winter times also in the mountains, tunnels, abandoned factories. Last project I have made was located in the big market hall in Kiev. (more…)
