Emil Nolde
.
Emil Nolde (1867 – 1956) was a German painter and printmaker. He was one of the strongest and most independent of the German Expressionists, and a member of the Dresden-based group known as Die Brücke. He is known for his vigorous brushwork and expressive choice of colors. Golden yellows and deep reds appear frequently in his work, giving a luminous quality to otherwise somber tones. His watercolors include vivid, brooding storm-scapes and brilliant florals.
We present our selection of his works:
Land Art
.
This is a growing gallery with the images of land art made under the auspices of Atelier Hayat. Land art is an art style in which landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked. It is also an art form that is created in nature, using natural materials such as soil, rock (bed rock, boulders, stones), organic media (logs, branches, leaves), and water. The works frequently exist in the open, located well away from civilization, left to change and erode under natural conditions. Besides the artistic value, land art is characterized by very contact with nature – touching the stone, wood and earth with bare hands.
Land art constructs to an observer may seem pointless at first, and one like another. Giving yourself time to immerse in these artworks, to carefully observe them and to get to know them, you discover a billion uniquenesses – every stone is different! Will you look superficially or try to see the details, and feel what is woven into such work!? There is something magical in a pile of stones. Random hikers are intrigued when they encounter land art in wild nature. Some are encouraged to make something by themselves (especially children). The few turn tearing them down (which also carries significance, not necessarily negative).
Browse through gallery, pick land art you are drawn to, enlarge photos and make sure to see more of them on provided links.
Non-Serial
.
This is a gallery with the most representative non-serial works painted by Boris Pecigoš, selected from more than 230 pieces created in period February 2005 – April 2013. If there are significant descriptions, they are listed below the paintings, visible only when you enlarge them. Some painting names are active links to the articles about those paintings.
Gallery with the latest works (and some old ones) that are available for the purchase, and therefore are not shown here, can be found in Ennoble Your Space. Paintings from open series and completed cycles are not shown here either; they are displayed in their own galleries listed in Thematic Display of Our Art.
Out of Music
.
Open and growing series of paintings by Boris Pecigoš, inspired by music and occasionally by song lyrics. For listening to song click on the name of the painting and a youtube video will open in a new window. If there are important verses or description, they are listed below the painting, visible only when you enlarge it.
Mandalas
.
Gallery of all Boris Pecigoš’ mandalas, and links to some exhibitions held in an unusual manner. This is an open series and new mandalas occasionally emerge.
Gustav Klimt
.
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was one of the most innovative and controversial artists of the early twentieth century. Klimt’s style grew increasingly experimental. In 1897 Klimt helped form the Secession, a group of artists dedicated to challenging the conservative Academy of Fine Arts. Influenced by European avant-garde movements represented in the annual Secession exhibitions, Klimt’s mature style combined richly decorative surface patterning with complex symbolism and allegory, often with overtly erotic content. After 1900 he concentrated on portraits and landscapes. Klimt spent most of his summers on the Attersee, near Salzburg, where he drew inspiration for many of his landscapes, and where he painted some of his best-known works.
Online collection of his works is here: klimt.com. We present our selection of his works, not his famous portraits, but colorful forests and trees.
