Aubrey Beardsley Art
With great excitement I present to you my latest project. It began in October 2007 when my friend Erin SinClair suggested using her workshop while she traveled across Europe. She said to me, "Elena, why don't you use my workshop while I'm away? I know you like the view of the lake and you could sit by the window, make coffee and compose your stories." That chance sounded too good to pass up, so I took it. I didn't end up doing any writing at all, but I did conceive one thing: the web art-gallery.
This part I call "Imaginations in Beardsley’s Theme”. This was the idea of Erin SinClair, whom I met while she was gallery curator for American artist Paul Hunter. Erin is a very talented artist whose prevalent themes draw inspiration from the Moon (she has the Moon in silver, gold, copper and bronze, all on not grounded canvas) and that of the horse (she makes very impressive horses). I enjoy her compositions of figures and letters in a collage style, but my favourite piece is a Mermaid she constructed from the bumper of an old car, that really should be in the Louvre (but is instead showcased in her bathroom or kitchen depending on her mood). Following Erin’s style, I wish to paint Beardsley’s drawings in the colours of the rainbow: red, orange, green, blue, indigo, violet and yellow. I would like to make a compilation of Beardsley’s drawings opposite artists like Klimt or Kirhner. I think that the effect will be striking. If anyone has any other ideas, please feel free to bring them to the web art gallery.
Yours, Elena
