Art-Notes on Redbird and the Astonishing Epiphany

October 23rd, 2018

Art-Notes on Redbird and the Astonishing Epiphany

Originality is one of the most valuable features of Postered Chromatic Poetics artwork and that feature is on full display with the new Redbird Series print, "Redbird and the Astonishing Epiphany." This landscape-formatted digital painting places the popular Redbird inside a realm of swirling bright colors framed by surrounding horizontal lines of blue, gold, and rust. In addition to making the perfect selection for a wall space in the home or workplace, it is an exceptional design for items ranging from tote bags and t-shirts to blankets and iPhone cases.

FROM THE ART PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
In each of the previous installments, such as "Redbird Sifting Beauty Out of Ashes" and "Redbird Speaking Compassion to Power," the North American Cardinal bird is posed to share gentle commentaries on the human condition. In this one, Redbird comes to the conclusion that life's painful confusions or humorous simplicity possibly have more to do with how an individual views a given situation than the external factors themselves. That epiphany for our feathered hero is astonishing but also liberating.

The blue, yellow, gold, and indigo landscape surrounding the centerpiece symbolizes the tranquility which can come with awareness expanded beyond immediate anxieties.

Art-Notes on Alley-Wall Paradise

October 23rd, 2018

Art-Notes on Alley-Wall Paradise

The portrait-formatted "Alley-Wall Paradise" is a rich chromatic photography example of nature's resiliency as exemplified by colorful vines growing in a distinctly urban location: an alley. It is not a place where most would expect to discover beauty. That beauty in this instance was already complemented by the background of the turquoise wall and pipe it grew against. It was further enhanced by the artwork's surrounding sapphire blue portrait of additional vines and Postered Chromatic Poetics' signature digital processing. You can check out this art design at this link: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/alley-wall-paradise-aberjhani.html

DESCRIPTION FROM ART PRODUCT PAGE:

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." --Albert Camus (1913-1960)

"Alley-Wall Paradise" is the second official installment of the "Grow Where Life Puts You" art series gallery. In keeping with the series theme, I borrowed the above quote from author Albert Camus because it so perfectly fit what I felt when I saw an alley wall covered with clinging vines. The leaves were just beginning to change from green to the autumnal colors of red, yellow, orange, and brown. Some of the vines, like the one seen here, had tiny dark berries on them.

Art-Notes on Bouquet of Gratitude and Forgiveness

Art-Notes on Bouquet of Gratitude and Forgiveness

"Bouquet of Gratitude and Forgiveness" is a particularly good art choice for the autumn season and moving toward the end of the year because the theme accommodates diverse cultural celebrations observed during this period. However, the flowing cascade of flowers emerging out of a multi-layered background make it as strong an addition to hotels, restaurants, or offices as it does to family rooms or community centers any time of the year.

This work was originally created as part of an in-progress stage play and consequently is highly collectible. Until December 31, 2018, It may be purchased at 30 percent off using promo code HSPRXZ. Please view it at this link: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/bouquet-of-gratitude-and-forgiveness-aberjhani.html

FROM THE ART PRODUCT PAGE:
A television interviewer once asked singer-actress-dancer Jennifer Lopez how she dealt with negative tabloid stories about her personal life. Lopez surprised a lot of people by answering, "I always bring it back to gratitude." By making gratitude the foundation of her attitude towards nearly everything, she avoided the kind of distractions which could disrupt or completely block the flow of creativity on which a performance artist like herself depended very heavily.

Lopez's response made a lot of sense to me because dealing with certain issues had already led me to the same conclusion. My equation also included striving to forgive those who cause us grief. Hence, the title of the piece seen here: Bouquet of Gratitude and Forgiveness. To my mind, the two combined are what make any notions of love realistic and sustainable.

Art-Notes on Forsyth Park Tritons in a Cascade of Gold

Art-Notes on Forsyth Park Tritons in a Cascade of Gold

The signature production process which gives each Postered Chromatic Poetics artwork its individual appeal makes an exceptionally good fit for the landscape-formatted "Forsyth Park Tritons in a Cascade of Gold." Buyers who have already purchased either "Champagne Twilight: Forsyth Park Fountain in Savannah, Georgia (USA)" or "Sepia Afternoon: Forsyth Park Fountain in Savannah, Georgia (USA)" might consider acquiring this as a companion piece which focuses on the fountain's famous Triton sculptures.

The splashing gold hues and luminous digital matting and frame of this artwork make it an elegant addition to any home. It also makes it a very impressive one to work environments.

FROM THE ART PRODUCT PAGE:
I tend to refer to the half-men half-fish beings who inhabit the Forsyth Park Fountain in Savannah, Georgia, as mermen. That is not an error, but students of mythology might prefer to call them Tritons. In Greek mythology, they are described as the demigod sons of the sea god Poseidon and Amphitrite, his beloved. Like the Tritons of Greek myth, the ones which inhabit the Forsyth Park Fountain carry twisted seashells through which they blow streams of water (the ones from mythology used their shell-horns to manipulate the flow of waves).

According the Smithsonian Art Inventories Catalog, Janes, Beebe & Company modeled the Forsyth Park Fountain (with some changes) "after a cast iron fountain designed by the J. P. Victor Andre Iron Foundry for display at the 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition in London, which in turn was modeled after a fountain on the Place-de-la-Concorde in Paris, France."

FROM ART PRODUCT PAGE:
"Redbird Singing Songs of Love in the Tree of Hope" is a contemporary collage that fuses original photography, urban landscape, and digital painting to underscore the theme of Beauty standing its ground during times of collective trauma. This is the fifth official image featured in the Redbird Series posted on Fine Art America and Pixels...

So why is Redbird suddenly singing "Songs of Love in the Tree of Hope?" Think of how different manifestations of love function in difficult times associated with overwhelming public or personal crises. It creates a kind of psychic refuge like the one symbolized here, where it becomes easier to believe in the joys of real life as well as the beauty of dreams despite the crushing presence of dread. In such a tangible organic refuge, extraordinary things like healing, reconciliation, and personal growth can occur. Or at least that is what Redbird chooses to believe and sing.

Art-Notes on That Time We Woke Up Laughing in Claude Monet's Garden

October 2nd, 2018

Art-Notes on That Time We Woke Up Laughing in Claude Monet

The aesthetic scope and physical dimensions of "That Time We Woke Up Laughing in Claude Monet's Garden" were designed to reflect Monet's desire to make a viewer feel as if she or he could enter a painting the way one would enter a yard or forest. It can therefore add that kind of enchanted quality to a room as a wall decoration, shower curtain, or bed covering. The extended size of the artwork combined with its polychromatic palette make it possible to customize the image for a variety of products and tastes.

To view the art, currently available at 30 percent off using discount code HSPRXZ (until Dec 31, 2018) please click the link at the bottom of the page or paste this one: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/that-time-we-woke-up-laughing-in-claude-monets-garden-aberjhani.html

FROM THE ART PRODUCT PAGE:

"That Time We Woke Up Laughing in Claude Monet's Garden" might be described as a modest heart-felt salute to the artist's much-celebrated flower and water gardens in Giverny, France. The creation of Monet's phenomenal expansive gardens took up a substantial part of his later years and today more than half a million tourists and aspiring artists visit it annually. Some have said that walking through the gardens is like walking through a rainbow. Artists often express a sense of awe and reverence when visiting Giverny because of the apparent sustained vision and labor it took to create such a wonder.

Art-Notes on Growing Where Life Puts Us

Art-Notes on Growing Where Life Puts Us

"Growing Where Life Puts Us" employs Postered Chromatic Poetics' signature processing to fuse original digital color photography with black and white photography to compose a singular visual statement on one of the great themes of 21st century history: displacement and adaptation. The inlaid black and white of hanging vines both extend the narrative of the color photograph and refine its context. This art photography functions well as a beautiful addition to a home or office space. It makes an effective attention-holder for classes devoted to studies of the environment and global warming. To see the print please click the link at the bottom of the page or paste this one: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/growing-where-life-puts-us-aberjhani.html

The work may be purchased at 30 percent off from now until December 31, 2018, using Promo Code HSPRXZ.

FROM THE ART PRODUCT PAGE:
This composite photograph, "Growing Where Life Puts Us," is the first official entry in a series of images celebrating life's capacity for sustaining and perpetuating itself under less-than-ideal conditions. The center image shows the beginning of a shrub growing between the edge of a yard and a sidewalk separated by a thick heavy wooden beam. The different earth tones with the splash of sunlight and green of the plant itself makes a kind of natural art all its own. The color photograph sits inside a black and digital print of leafy vines growing over the edge of an abandoned building.

The theme for this new series came from one of my favorite novels, "The Famished Road" by Nigerian author Ben Okri. In the novel, a father directs his son's attention to a wooden pole which someone stuck in the ground and which for some unknown reason has begun to blossom. The father tells his son, "This is what you must be like. Grow wherever life puts you down." During my treks through southern urban centers in America, I noticed how efficiently certain plants demonstrated this advice by adapting to whatever cracks or surfaces were available to them in order to put down roots and grow where they were.

Art-Notes on Garden of Grace and Resilience

Art-Notes on Garden of Grace and Resilience

"Garden of Grace and Resilience" breaks new ground in regard to the stylistic methodology employed by Postered Chromatic Poetics. Instead of spelling out the precise nature of the innovation utilized in this canvas, we will let viewers have a little fun by identifying it for themselves by comparing the work to previous art (you can see it here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/garden-of-grace-and-resilience-aberjhani.html )

What stayed the same is the customized digital processing that gives all Chromatic Poetics creations museum-quality shades and hues.

FROM THE PRODUCT PAGE:

"Where the garden of grace blossomed,
star-scented moonlight made me drunk.
Where the oceans of heaven sighed peace,
I flowed into a midnight wave of echoes."
Aberjhani, from Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black

"Garden of Grace and Resilience" is the first canvas in a new art series that celebrates the different ways life sustains and perpetuates itself. I am dedicating it to those currently confronting the fury of Hurricane Florence with hope that grace and resilience will see them through.

I will share more about what inspired the new series in forthcoming blogs but for now will say this image began as photographic research of an area near a set of railroad tracks and frequented by homeless individuals. On one side of the tracks was a space used for dumping trash and on the other was growing thick patches of colorful vines.

The robust growth of the beautiful vines in an unexpected place reminded me of certain homeless individuals I had encountered who made it clear they had no use for pity. They were dealing with their lives to the best of their ability and some were on their way to obtaining permanent dwellings. In the vines and in the people I saw a kind of beautiful resilience, some of which I hoped to capture with this artwork.

Art-Notes on Painted Shadows of a Different Love and Time

Art-Notes on Painted Shadows of a Different Love and Time




Bold primary colors set in contrast with shaded panels of white, beige, and mixed pastels make "Painted Shadows of a Different Love and Time" a striking work of wall art suitable for customized adaptation to Fine Art America's wide range of products. The silver butterfly near the center of his landscape-formatted piece further enhances the strong color scheme, as does the aquamarine frame combined with custom-designed digital matting, framing, and signature Postered Chromatic Poetics processing. (Artwork may be viewed by clicking link at bottom of page or copying and pasting this one: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/painted-shadows-of-a-different-love-and-time-aberjhani.html )

POEM FROM ART PRODUCT PAGE:

The Silver Butterfly and a Ghost of a Chance
Between and around these painted shadows
of a different love and time,
a silver butterfly slowly glides
through corridors of a drifting mind.

A broken promise burns brazenly red.
Our ghost of a chance sits humming songs blue.
Green recalls too often taking its pride too seriously,
while everything gold still adores-- everything about you.
