Variations on a Theme

  • Principle
    Artabus defines every month a new theme. Artabus' artists have the full month to create one to three artworks being their interpretation of that theme.
    The theme is chosen so that all artists can work on it, either painters, sculptors, photographs... Themes are not chosen for the simplicity but for the degree of involvement in their interpretation.
    Visitors can leave a message on the resulting works using the guestbook of the artist.
    A debate takes place through Artabus's forum, available through the artist's private member area, so that the results can be challenged by the artists' community.

    Y 30

    Mika L Y 30
    Artist's statement:
    The other grand mystery of Creation, it cancels itselfs or contradicts itself, to create endlessly. From the fission of matter to the speed of thought, we give it without possessing it, we receive it, without asling it, we lose it without knowing it, we sense it without seeing it. It comes from everywhere, ambiguous, devastating, creating, protecting, it carries us or abandon us with the crusling case of eternity.

    The intrinsic nature of the strength is neither good, nor bad, everything depends on the one who employs him and in the way he uses it.

    Kaos 54

    Mika L Kaos 54
    Artist's statement:
    The force of an artwork, the eternal goal of the artist. An extraoridnarily complex alchemy, the choice of subject, its dimensions, the message, the rigor of the line or the chosen tones. Even for those pieces that travel through the ages, there is never complete unanimity, and they remain tied to one culture. We stay alone in the face of our feeling, their transcendance of an inert matter in emotion or sentiments.

    La force

    Artist's statement:
    To my opinion, they have no ultimate strength there, There is a corp, a spirit, and a head.
    They are 3 strengths, 3 combined in one groups are rather rare on a single part...
    But if we have 2 kind, you can easily surpass any of them.
