MajioFigurative II: Fox Spirit Around Neck
About the Item
Fox Spirit around Neck, acrylic paint, graphite on canvas. In Japan the fox or kitsune, even in modern day references, is a disorienting deity that causes one to lose one’s way.
In the series Figurative II, the figures are connected to the spirit world through animals via folklore, myth and dream. They are archetypal figures, aspects of ourselves through the story that we live. They expose others layer of reality beyond that which usually register.
Majio has training in the United State, several years in Europe with a Master’s degree from the Buddhist University of Naropa in Creation Spirituality. Her most influential training however was in Japan over a twelve year period. Her initial trip to Japan was to study Buddhist Art, but it quickly narrowed to the traditional arts of Zen and masters if that orientation in other cultural arts. It was not so much what was learned in a papermaking village, kimono dyeing studio or the making, filling and firing woodburning kilns but how to learn or, better said, how to practice. There are many words in Japanese for practice, the one here is the polishing of being. In painting, Majio has always flowed back and forth between figurative and abstract expression. The aesthetics and Cultural Arts--- like calligraphy and tea ceremony---- garnered during her apprenticeships in Japan, along with Zen practices and concepts weave many textures into her work. Majio’s pieces are created with the overarching concept that art is not a polarity between object and subject but rather, complementary, where each part works to define each other. Working from a collaborative process-with materials, with subject and with times, Majio releases herself as sole agent, even when hers are the only hands that touch the piece. This carries out to the viewer, opening a sense of participation, evoking involvement and discussion. Inviting a realization of recognizing and choosing to acknowledge a reality beyond what we have inherited provides a platform for evoking possibilities, innate joy and new vision.

Empowering #18 - Colorful Figurative Original Art on Canvas
By Fabio Coruzzi
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Italian artist Fabio Coruzzi merges painting and photography into one imaginative image that offers a new outlook on an otherwise ordinary urban scene. His artworks represent an authenticity unlike any other: layered, textural, controversial, open to imagination, colorful, personal, and inspiring. Coruzzi’s work encapsulates not only urban environments, but the inhabitants as well. Irony is laced between figures drawn with an energetic architectural hand. His work is colorful, funny, and biting through resolutely rendered vignettes of people and places.
Fabio Coruzzi used acrylic paint, oil pastel, gel ink, and graphite to create this one-of-a-kind original artwork on canvas. It is signed by the artist on the front and back. This colorful 24-inch high by 30-inch wide painting is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The top of the artwork is a continuation of the front and the sides are painted white. It does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable U.S. and worldwide shipping is available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Fabio Coruzzi was born in Foggia, Italy in 1975, and now resides in Southern California, USA. Remarking on his work in conjunction with his perspective on urban environments, Fabio states: "I wish that each painting I make should be like a poem of the place where I've been. I wish to become a poet of our time, like somebody would tell: "I've been there", but telling that my way, telling the audience that, no matter where we are, in a boulevard or in a restaurant, each single place is like an empty box that needs to be filled with the intense energy of our existence. Each place leaves a mark, like a scar, inside us. I wish that scar becomes poetry."
Winner of the 2021 ENEGANART Prize, Coruzzi's work has been widely collected and exhibited internationally, with great acclaim for his faithfully candid approach to city life and human idiosyncrasy: "It’s a melting pot of different gestures, different perspectives. Mixed media mold together these different perspectives, creating the urban environment. Contemporary culture is made of controversy: modernity includes ugliness, imperfection, and contamination, anything that creates texture."
