<p align="justify"><font face="Century Gothic, sans-serif">On Monday October 19, 2020, in Bologna, the gala evening was held at the Royal Hotel Carlton, in which the Lions Club Bologna awarded Andrea Benetti the 49th "Nettuno d'Oro", the prestigious award, born in 1971. From then, every year, it is awarded to the Bolognese artist, by birth or by adoption, who most distinguished himself in a particular sector of the arts. Over the years, artists and men of culture have won the noble recognition, such as Enzo Biagi, Pupi Avati, Lucio Dalla, Carlo Lucarelli, Stefano Accorsi and, among the best known painters, Antonio Saliola, Pirro Cuniberti and Luigi Ontani...</font></p>

<p><em>Mao Zedong</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Xiang Yang was born in Qingdao, Shandong China in 1961, the year that marked the end of the terrible Great Chinese Famine.</p>
<p>Much had changed in China by the time the then 14-year-old Xiang began studying art with Zhao Zhiping’s teacher.</p>
<p>She proved to be a quick study. Perhaps too quick, in fact.</p>
<p>It soon became clear that the young woman was on the verge of creating a unique artistic style that would draw on her budding sense of self-esteem, much of it stemming from her new-found, if as-yet fully-articulated, belief in the equality of women.</p>
<p>It was this faith that allowed her to capture the internal and external beauty in woman that would soon come to dominate her work.</p>
<p>Indeed, by the time she was 24-years-old she had already had a number of exhibitions in Qingado and Beijing, to wide acclaim.</p>
<p>It was not long before she set her artistic sights on the outside world, with exhibitions in France, Germany, Switzerland, Vienna, Italy and many other countries.</p>
<p>Her work continued to garner awards and acclaim but Italy was to become her home. And so it remains today.</p>
<p>Xiang is the first to admit that the subjects of her paintings are ‘sophisticated women often captured in moments of eroticism that could be likened to visual poems addressing the meaning of love.’</p>
<p>And her art, like real love, is real. Sometimes both are harsh and harrowing, but never sentimentalised.</p>
<p>And at its core it speaks to the qualities of human nature that allow us to believe in love, no matter what.</p>
<p>It is her belief in truth and justice that has also prompted her to spend a good deal of time and effort giving back to the emerging and respected artists from her homeland.</p>
<p>She has organized a number of exhibitions of Chinese artists to the <em>Castello Sforzesco de Vigevano and Mede</em> with the aim of promoting Chinese art and developing intercultural relations between Italy and China.</p>
<p>By now it has been a long and interesting journey from Qingdao, China.</p>
<p>And yet today Xiang, like her art, remains fiercely independent and equally dedicated to the cause of equality for women.</p>
<p>“I have never believed that women are inferior to anyone,” she says. “I want my paintings to portray women for what they are in real life – not perfect, but real and whole.</p>
<p>“And yes, sometimes we carry the burden of past wounds, but we are resilient and we must always fight for the equality of women, no matter where they might be in the world.”</p>
<p>As for the future, she says she will continue painting, of course, but she is also looking forward to exploring other disciplines, including a new-found interest in sculpture.</p>
<p>And she also hopes to continue showing her work to audiences around the world.</p>
<p>“Given the obvious sexuality of my work, I am of course very interested in seeing how my work is perceived in other cultures,” she says.</p>
<p>“The power and freedom of women is universal, but it is always interesting to see the reaction to the sexuality in some cultures. It is not a bad thing. But it is interesting sometimes!”</p>Celebrating the Human Formtag:artdeadline.ning.com,2018-10-12:3077055:BlogPost:2826262018-10-12T16:39:36.000ZXiang Yanghttps://artdeadline.ning.com/profile/XiangYang

<p>Whether realized in the portraits of kings or queens or the early wisps of sexual innuendo, the variations of an otherwise seemingly common theme are indeed endless.</p>
<p>It is in the realm of overt and beautiful sexuality that we find the work of Xiang Yang.</p>
<p>Here is an artist who is unafraid to celebrate the beauty that not only defines her as an artist, but indeed defines her as a woman.</p>
<p>In her varied and multidimensional work, we can see a direct line from the walk in Florence to the recent incarnations of #metoo.</p>
<p>It is a full, natural and complex world, filled with love and grief, regret and optimism, loneliness and sexuality.</p>
<p>It is a life foretold and remembered but, most of all, a life celebrated for all of its glories.</p>

<p>One of my first memories was trying to acquire free will, (or increase it for me and all people) because I was paranoid we were all cause and effect. I would do random things and change my mind right in the middle, or do things I "wouldn't choose".. I thought I could dislodge the cause and effect train and everyone would be free.

<p>One of my first memories was trying to acquire free will, (or increase it for me and all people) because I was paranoid we were all cause and effect. I would do random things and change my mind right in the middle, or do things I "wouldn't choose".. I thought I could dislodge the cause and effect train and everyone would be free. I was about 4 and I remember linking an experience to this, when I would fall to the ground with the feeling of strings skreetching in my ears, it hurt a lot and lasted about a minute or so. I thought it was punishment from the Universe for this pattern of behavior and not following what I know now is synchronicity and listening and taking it in, interpreting truth, that dialogue of meant to be, not has to be. I always had a dialogue between myself and "Nothing" which was my concept of God when I learned that the space between particles was that. Edge of universe is all matter within universe. Anyway that habit of experimenting with strange behavior resulted in a lot of mistakes and bad karma. I wish I had fully realized what the Universe was telling me. But that is a real memory. Also a first memory is crying for hours for my mom in my cradle and not stopping when she finally held me because I was angry, and then stopping because I thought she would hurt me. Finding a dead blue jay under a tree. When my kindergarten bully who I would call on in the schoolyard to beat me up told me the story I shared in the library was good and never bullied me again and I missed her. The bug club I started in kindergarten where I would bring in all these plastic containers for the kids, I got bored and slightly overwhelmed with the routine so I quit the club and then the new girl leader said she would change it to the "ant club" when I was upset she stole my club lol.. My grandma getting me to retrieve objects from under her bed, her singing to me and me warming her feet cuddling. Her story of the poor matchstick girl and her grandmother she would tell. my cousin telling me we should just draw the jewelry and objects in my grandmother's room if we felt the need to steal. When my friend in improv class stole my idea and made it way better around the time I was losing my gift, seeing her word for word joke in a fav successful comedian's routine. other jokes in routines that make me wonder if a tape with us on it got to somewhere.. My childhood tape recorder memories made me wonder things too.. Playing what I thought was really cool music out of "my first tape recorder" the sony product, for the babysitter kids playing basketball. one of those kids always had silly putty and cool toys in his fanny pack.. me and him found broken shingles once by the house when we were waiting for the sitter to walk the other kids home and let us in.. we put twos of the "wishing rocks" together until one fit and we made a wish and then the sitter immediately appeared from around the bend and we looked at each other like oh my god is that what you wished lol. an older girl kid at the sitters making me play at 5 that i was the abused child of the home trying to call children's aid and then she comes around the corner angry lol</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i found a rock a few days ago after being up all night. it was by the tracks and even reminded me of the one i found with my dad by the tracks when i was like 6 or 8... i remember him saying its time to go now and i begged him just give me a few more minutes i know im about to find the perfect rock. right when he was about to get really mad and it would have been too late i immediately found i swear to god a big chalky lime green and yellow zebra striped rock. i gave it to him and told him to remember i remember seeing it on my step dads desk tho or my dads and they actually might have each im almost sure had one of those roll top wood desks. but i know this rock existed it was in my life i saw it around. i must have taken it back from my dad to give to my step dad then it was just gone and my dad claims to not remember or just doesnt.... it looked like no naturally occuring rock and yet hard to imagine a person creating either yet natural.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>when I wasn't buying food and there was nothing in the house to eat.. I had to work soon and I was lying on a dirty mattress feeling myself die.. watching the scuff marks on the wall floating and trying to touch eachother as though swimming against wind.. I tried to call my "friend" and leave a message that I thought I was dying. she later said she didn't listen to it thought I was just trying to get attention I guess. it was within months or weeks of seeing my own visualizations project through the tv. seemed like collaborative effort to express what I wanted to express. felt like dreaming on the tv and my roommate saw it too and thought it was profound. he was a desperate guy I was a desperate girl. if he wasn't such a creep and unable to understand I was gay if he wasn't verging on dangerous..(years later he pinned me down and spat in my face after walking around naked red and angrily expecting something) i was always avoided by normal people sought out by freaks and often passed up things that might have been a healthy medium. i missed the people i had already bonded with who had little time for me.. no one could replace them. i was into finding someone to be with romantically and i wasted time leaning on people i didn't want to because i wasn't able to maintain something healthy. i might make a post about how if i had held out longer for true love i wouldn't have missed the train of my person the first time. i would advise people to open their minds yet stick to their standards that matter most.. don't accept something that you less than love unless ur ready to sacrifice the capacity of your heart and chances at true love. don't take people on a ride. i owe this guy nothing. but he didn't deserve to be dangling from false hope. unrelated to the schizo related memories I'm trying to bring out now.. like the bus stop near that apartment.. i remember it was like 12am and i was trying to catch a bus and there was a grime puddle under a streetlamp that looked like a woman with my awkward body type and posture, clutching a pillow with her whole skeletal body.. recently after letting a miracle slip through my fingers.. i was looking for "god" through the rainy car window. a drop briefly held the form of an old man with a beard.. and then his face fell into a crying expression..</p>Patre Luminum di Andrea Benettitag:artdeadline.ning.com,2017-04-02:3077055:BlogPost:2689102017-04-02T14:25:39.000ZAndrea Benettihttps://artdeadline.ning.com/profile/AndreaBenetti

<p align="center" style="text-align: left;">Durante la Pasqua 2017, dall’8 al 18 aprile, sarà allestita nel Museo Civico di Gallipoli la mostra di Andrea Benetti dal titolo “Patre Luminum”, composta da opere su tela, affiancate da una installazione in legno, metallo e vetro di Murano.</p>
<p align="center" style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/73622307?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="400" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/73622307?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">La mostra “Patre Luminum” ("Signum Crucis" nella prima versione) è nata grazie alla prima opera intitolata “Omaggio a Karol Wojtyla”, che fu realizzata nel 2009 come tributo alla grande figura di Papa Giovanni Paolo II. Nel 2012, proprio quel dipinto fu donato al Pontefice Benedetto XVI, da parte dell'Ente Morale A.N.F.E.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">La scelta stilistica delle opere, che vede la Croce inserita in un contesto di forme astratte dai colori spesso vivaci, vuole evidenziare l'aspetto della speranza espresso dal sacro simbolo della Cristianità. Attraverso questi colori che trasmettono una gioia profonda, viene interpretato il messaggio di resurrezione e di salvezza, che Gesù ha donato all'umanità, attraverso il proprio sacrificio, il cui significato è stato custodito fino ai nostri giorni proprio da quel sacro simbolo.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">L'anteprima nazionale della mostra con il titolo “Signum Crucis” è stata allestita nel gennaio 2016, in occasione di Arte Fiera, nell’ex Chiesa dell’Ospedale degli Innocenti, nella centralissima Bologna.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Il progetto espositivo vanta i testi del prof. emerito Mons. Fiorenzo Facchini dell’Università di Bologna e dei prof. Fernando e Gioia Lanzi, rispettivamente Direttore e Vice Direttrice del Museo della Beata Vergine di San Luca di Bologna.</p>

<p><span>Suzanne was born in Jackson, Wyoming, and has traveled most of her life. She considers herself most fortunate to have had the opportunities to see the world through her own eyes. </span><br/><br/><span>For over twenty years Suzanne has been painting and is inspired wherever she goes. She tries to share the beauty she has seen in the rest of the world. This passion is reflected in her artwork. As a young girl, this artist loved to paint her surroundings and is constantly influenced and stimulated by Mother Nature, in awe of all of her splendor, and tries to capture that energy in the oil paintings that flow through her. Painting everyday brings comfort and joy to Suzanne's heart. </span><br/><br/><span>Having sold over fifty paintings in her career to private clientele, including commissioned art and wall murals, this is Suzanne's first emergence into the public. Sharing beautiful artwork with you is such a pleasure for her! </span></p>Hans Andre’s comments about his paintingstag:artdeadline.ning.com,2016-03-23:3077055:BlogPost:2564442016-03-23T08:53:26.000ZHans Andrehttps://artdeadline.ning.com/profile/HansAndre

<p>Hi Jason and anyone interested. Oilbar is also known as 'oil on a stick'. The 'Oilbar’ is a Daler Rowney product and the 'Oil on a Stick' a Winsor and Newton product. Both are as good except that the W & N are slightly larger, although the D/R do a larger version as well. They are basically a bit like oil pastels but are more versatile and dry like oil paints.

I’ve done some on-line videos specialising in them. They are on a smashing art site with lots of demonstrations and tutorials.
