Hello my beloved fans, as you should know by now i left Norway almost a year ago to return to my home land. this time im living in a place called veracruz, an industrial port in the west of Mexico. its a nice enough place and i used to work in stripclubs, nothing amazing but it payed. since i came and started working there i stoped everything related to my art, probably some weekends i did some trys but nothing really exiting, my booklets stoped completly and they were filled with ideas for the strip bars and such, it was not good for my growth as an artis but at the same tiem gave me another point of view. and i apreciated a lot the experience i i learned a lot from my bos and his son, very nice people by the way. the actually rock , but the business in it self was heavy as shit but i ve already talked about this a lot so its time to let go, well you have known me for my drawings and paintings so its time for me to show you what little ive done with other media, im actually working right now in a project for a big intallation but ill post more bout it later this year.
Well this is some stuff ive been working with that has nothing to do with paint, or well it has to do but not the canvas, oil paint stuff, and well as soon as you see them i think you will understand, i started to do this a little over a year ago, i was in mexico getting ready to go back to norway from a short vacation and I got invited by my friend Gustavo Abascal to a porcelain painting workshop, I was a little dubious about it, and mostly lacy cus it was actually in the other side of the city. I finally decided to show and i must say i loved it, its an awesome media all of it, from working in creating the inks, buying the porcelain plates till the oven process over 800° celcious or celcius i dont know and i dont care. I did some work there its not exactly a whole project with a theme and stuff but its mostly various experiments with materials colors and shapes. here some of the plated i made in that place, i actually made more of them some of them are actually posted in this same blog with wrestlers and stuff so this is the other side of the work i did there the things that brought me there.
THE PORCELAIN EXPERIMENTS
after actually working with this I realized i wanted soemthing more rich in shape so i decided to go in the the same place to the sculpture workshop and try to learn to make porcelain figurines to then be able to do this same stuff over them and probably create some fine stuff to showoff but i really discovered that im not as good as i use to be playing with clay and i lack of the patience to do it too, i discovered that i think like a million times faster than i can work with my hands. That is wrong cus every time i go from a piece and return to it the idea is totally diferent that probably why ive always worked without much planning and just going for it, I improvise most o the time and then go with that and its the way i normally work so with this processes the porcelain painting and mostly the sculpture thing i just discovered that i need to have patinece and follow a plan, some of the stuff im not very into, i di it in the porcelain and it turned good, but the sculpture was mostly desperation im now trying more of it so i hope this experience showed me how to have a little more patience with this. well here is some of the ceramic sculpture i worked with i hope you like them jo jo jo.
THE BOXING MATCH
This post is turning to be a big one i didnt know i had all this to say about this pieces that were actually forgotten in a corner of my house well of of them but this one, this is a project i m working with in the nights while watching some nice tv show, mostly southpark or some stupid police chasing real people show in trutv, I just sit there like a nice old lday take my sip of cocacola and start embroidering, my stiches are awfull but its actually a relaxing thing, i know ive talked about patience here, and trust mei have non, but with this as well as washing disehs im actually hoping i never finish, its a nice work. and it takes some tiem but i enjoy it a lot. the only setback is that im thumb hurts, you need to get some thiker skin ther ei htink you get it after a while and it hurt less everyday but its really soar. well here is one of the pieces that im working with this technique im enjoying so much.
IN THE FUTURE...
Its not finished, and i think it will never be cus the moment i finish it, it will be part of the the past, and its exaclty what I dont want.
well that all for the day guys, kisses and hugs
Mr.Adolfito
