About the Item

These works are from an exhibition entitled Flawed Beauty. An exploration of the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. “Wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay and death. It is simple, slow and uncluttered and it reveres authenticity above all. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather and loving use leave behind. "Michael ellis chronicles a world of places neglected in the day-to-day business of life. His magnificent paintings capture the decay of man-made structures at their most organically grand. He gives flaking paint and rotting wood an epic beauty."

  • «My brother gave them a name» Still Life Oil Painting by Samantha Van Heest
    By Samantha Van Heest
    Located in Oslo, NO
    This painting was inspired by the artists very first toy, a small blue giraffe, given to her as a day-old baby. It is something that has been around her whole life, and even though it is inanimate, there is a feeling of personification through the years of wear. Her brother as a baby would call giraffes “fa,” which is always a sweet memory she associate with this toy. Samantha Van Heest...
