About Me

My photo
Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

"New Weather"at USF Contemporary Arts Museum

before heading to our Tampa hotel, we stopped in at the USF, bijou museum for contemporary arts to view "NEW WEATHER"..art and installations by 3 women artists. Photos will follow.
The one piece that really struck a chord was" Forever (blank)Matter by Diana Al-Hadid. Reminded me of the Biblical Tower of Babel in beige..that bland color. Born in Aleppo, she was raised in Cleveland and now resides in Brooklyn.

Iva Gueorguieva, born in Bulgaria, lives in Los Angeles, uses her forms and colors wildly and on a large scale. All is seemingly always in flux, nothing is static, nothing is real, her world is invented , full of riotous colors and emotions.

The third artist is Houston based Robyn O'Neil, some of you may have seen her works when she had a solo exhibition at the Houston Museum of Contemporary Art. She concentrates on black-white large scale drawings, a world where humans have become out of tune with earth, sky and water and where space has become boundless
