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.

    Artworks

    In Extremis Tenebrae

    Pancho In extremis tenebrae
    Artist's statement:
    "Per inania Regna in mens agitate molem,
    Et mobilitate viget,
    Monstrum cui lumen ademptum,
    In extremis tenebrae fiat lux…"

    In the realm of shadows where spirits moves the matter,
    Where the movement grows up its forces,
    The monster deprived of light,
    From the ends of darkness jump into the light flashes.

    The victim of...life

    Iuliana Hirtopeanu The vitim of... life
    Artist's statement:
    The thoughts exchange gun shots ... unheard poisons wander from one to the other, and now to him. Now, his life time is measured by blody and fake sandglasse. The cold and desert eyes search the long darkness, starting alone from being alive to the grave.

    He joined in harmony with these three elements for dissolving in them...
    And find the perfect hiding place ...

    human hands

    Iuliana Hirtopeanu Human hands

    Fear and scare in darkness....the obscure of life and death....that's what we got to exceed with the power of our heart, power what is passing among our hands.
