I'm back with the rest of the exhibition I visited yesterday and today i want to show you some amazing artworks that I loved. You can see the first part of the exhibition here, if you missed it.

I went to see the exhibition without any expectations as I almost never know what's the topic or who's the artist, which is the best honestly. Expectations lead to disappointment and you don't want that. When I saw the poster, tried to imagine what it could be but my imagination is too poor, which in this case is a huge advantage, as what I saw was exceptional.

This time I'm going to start with the pieces I loved the most and this is one of them. At first glance it seems like a patchwork material, a very ugly one as the stitches are not symmetrical, the thread looks like made of 100 different colors and that's exactly the point as it has a
deep meaning.

I took some close-ups to be able to show you the details.

At this point you may be wondering what kind of art is this, but trust me, it's a brilliant one.

The artwork is called What's Left Of Us! Now maybe you see things with a different eye. Look at all that suffering.

This was the other one I loved and maybe No. 1 on my list. The artwork is a long one, so I had to step back to be able to capture it, I hope you can see what it is. It's the creation of a french artist, Elena Hlodec and it is called Agora - Droits De L'Homme, which means Agora - Human Rights.

At this point I needed all the self control one could get to not touch it. Good thing I could step very close to it, so I took a few detail photos to be able to show you why I loved it. The edges are made of old newspaper, while the rest seemed silk, but I'm not sure. It did not look like paper as it was very smooth. If you look at it, the drawing continues on the newspaper, so it can't be printed either.

For me it was a first as I've never seen anything similar before. I mean I've seen drawings on old newspaper and loved them all, but this was much more than that.

This is drawing on newspaper for sure, as you can read the letters when the ink is not covering it.

Looks at those details. It's absolutely amazing.

This was the center of the artwork, that had these puzzle pieces drawn on it. So, according to you, is it paper or very fine canvas, like silk?

This was an exhibition with no sale and I have no idea how much this would cost, but I'd love to have it.

This was another mystery, regarding the medium (I hope this is the right word). I think it was a photograph printed on something.

Revelations 2

This was the first piece of a series called Consumerism. It's a very good one, too bad the fingerprints on the tops were so visible and no one thought to wipe them off.

This was another cool series, by Ana Golici from the States.

I think the posters speak for themselves, no need for me to translate the meaning for you. However, there will be an explanation soon, so bear with me.

This is a message from the author of the last 3 artworks.

After I left the exhibition I was thinking what would remain in my memory over the years. I mean how many of these works I will be able to remember in the future. Most likely a good part will be forgotten, but a good few, those I liked the most will remain and here there are two I hope I won't forget, ever.

You know the drill, let me know which one you like.
