My third Bargue copy. The exercise is to take as much time as it takes to exactly copy the original lithograph.

I am not finished with this one, a few hours to go.

Artist's Statement

I worked like a dog as an industry cog.
I wrote one thousand five hundred weekly reports,
none of them read by my cohorts.
I was a team player, never a nay sayer.
I had good bosses and bad,
so many meetings it is sad.
I shifted paradigm, and carried the party line.
I did lunches and brunches.
I thought ouside the box,
and did not cross the line.
I had 5-meeting-days,
and a 50-email-an-hour pace
well - all that stress pays.

And one day I stopped, the bubble had popped.
I jumped off the cliff of this financial bliss.

I started to paint and without restraint
I make a world of my own where beauty and compassion is shown.
Colors are bright,
interiors are drenched in sun light,
figures and gestures portraits and textures.

I paint because I have only ONE life,
and when you posess a painting of mine,
you too, have escaped the doldrums of nine to five.

A New World

#595

Graphite 

A5

Peeling back the skin
reveals an new world within.

Shiny and clean
not a spot on its sheen
and what do we get
with the new world set?

Junk food is healthy
Unix is friendly
Claculus is easy
Loosing weight is a piece of cake.

Terrorists are happy on Zoloft
the government debt is payed off
Poverty has been eliminated
Dictators erradicated
All software bugs exterminated

It's ideal, comfy, and clean
all we do is watch TV and eat ice cream

But,
one thing that we forgot
this new world, is just not HOT

The girl: "I've got his wallet."

We took a kite and attached a camera to it, then we walked down the coast of Brantevik while the kite was about 100 m in the air and the camera took pictures at regular intervals.  The reference  photo for this painting is from the kite walk. It is the south harbor of Brantevik.

The General's Horse

#592
graphite on paper
A4 (21 x 30 cm)


This is a drawing of a statue in the Glypoteket in Copenhagen. It is not a live horse, but a horse of a warrior from another century.
It is not a happy horse. Today we would say the horse is behind the bit, meaning that his nose is behind the vertical. This usually indicates that the rider has a harsh hand and pulled the horse's nose towards its neck via brute force with the bit, a piece of iron laying in the horses mouth. The open mouth is also a testament to the rider's strong hand, if the mouth were closed, the nose would be even more behind the vertical. This must be very uncomfortable for the horse.
The horse is well muscled and conditioned.  It is well groomed and his mane braided for the occasion, and the bridle has a golden trim. The warrior, who is not in the sketch and was broken in the statue, is also dressed in full armor.  While majestic the horse also shows pain and oppression.

The Slave

#591
Graphite on Paper
A4

This is a drawing of the sculpture "The Slave" by Stephan Sinding, 1913. You can find the sculpture at the Glypoteket in Copenhagen.

The slave has an expression of defiance and fight against his position in life and his oppressors. He is strong, made strong by the physical work he has to do as a slave, and he is oppressed by forces stronger than him. But, we realize that he has a chance at getting his freedom, and with his attitude he is free even though he is physically tied.

The drawing is an original, one of a kind, drawn with led pencil on an A4 page (21 x 30 cm). It ships unframed as shown in the photo.

Ludvig van Beethoven

Bust by Eugine Guillaume, 1870

Beethoven is an inspiring figure.  He lived only 56 years and wrote a huge amount of great music. He was also a virtuoso pianist. He lost his hearing when he was 30, and when he was 40 he stopped performing because his hearing was too bad. In the end he was totally deaf. He was already deaf when he wrote the 9th symphony.
Can you imagine writing music without being able to hear it ? He must have had an imagination that was more real than reality. I often think, the worst that could happen to me is to loose my eyesight, I could no longer paint. Maybe I would start to sculpt. Anyway I have outlived Beethoven already.
His funeral was attended by 20,000 people, he influenced millions.

The ABC of Stuff - for the collector and the perfect Christmas gift

“The ABC of Stuff” is an alphabet of still lifes, one for each letter. For example, “A - is for Apple” and “Q - if for Q-tips”. By the way, Q was not easy.  The paintings are small (20 - 30 cm), so they fit on any wall in the hallway, kitchen, living or dining room wall, and they can be combined into a group for a larger space. They are the perfect gift - original and tasteful.

Become a collector, because you can have a voice of what art should be. Choose a painting from the “ABC of Stuff” at my on-line gallery at: http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Artists/suzanne-gysin-6204
