Yoann Henry Yvon- Contemporary Designer

Yvon was born in the 1983 in France but he lived in Spain for twelve years. He studied in the University of Economy in Valencia Spain but before he graduated in that collage he got the honors in interior design from the Istituto Europeo di Design in Italy in the 2008. Nowadays instead of studying his time and days are filled by working freelance projects and constant communications with some few different designers. For Yvon a typical day indicates scouring nets where he was excited to make designs for the blog so that he can keep himself up to date which that what it is going on in the design world , administrative work, sketching and also creating 3D models aiming  to make  it realistic as  possible  as  it can.

Yvon says that being a full time designer have its negatives and also its positives. He is a product designer and industrial designer. Being a full time designer there is the positive and negative. He says that freelance designers are more innovative and flexible with design changes. Full times designers have to be strict which they have limited schedules and have room for other personal projects. It is invaluable for team works and exchange of critics. John Colombo and Marco Maggioni were the fan felloes designers of Yvon where he drew and inspired himself from aspects of life but he also admits that he likes pure and simple lines, the elegance of objects. Yvon favorite concept is movement for example the urban scene in the big town where it is all in movement, the delicate plane of a bird, the force of a wave. For providing further inspiration, drawing on his experiences of different culture and also human characters and contrasted spaces Yvon thanks his extensive travelling. The one piece series  was  born in Yvon  search  for the concept based  on possibilities to create something’s  that are with one panel  such  as the paper, aluminum, Wood and also without nails. Yvon  also  say that  he  has  to  do  something to  occupy  his  hands he  said  this  when he faces an overwhelming burst of creativity he also  says  that  this  involves  the drawing but  he finds the artistic solace  in cutting and also  creating forms  made  out  of paper that  he  finds  on his  desk. Yvon is fascinated with constructing because the clean cut pieces embody the simplicity. Yvon  believs  that even though a new  revolution design  are taking place many  designers with the exaption  of Emmanuel Laffon de Mazieres and  Joel Escalaona they don’t have much  creativity and  personal  style. So the  young designers  have to have  their  own personal  and  unique  designs and also  fresh  look of the design vision.

Exhibition I visited Fine Art 

Another visit I made was at the fine arts where many of the art pieces are made from different artist. These artists that made the paintings nowadays are very famous. These paintings as I said are displayed at the fine arts and I visited the exhibition on the 8^thMarch 2013. Most of the works that we saw during our visit at the fine arts are made on the canvas.

This is one of the paintings that inspired me during the visit at the fine arts.

Date: 8thMarch2013

Name of Practitioners: Claude- Joseph Vernet

Title of Exhibition: Fine Arts

Title of work: Fire on the Tiber (1714-1789)

In my opinion

The most things I like in this painting are the fire. The fire  is  the  most  thing that  we can see  in the  painting  it  is  because it  is  the  brightest  thinks  it  is  more  bright  that  the  other things. It is also  interesting on  how  we can see that  on the  top  part  it  is  a  bit blurry  it  might be because  of  the smoke  of the  fire. As formal  elements we can see that  there are the straight line where they are  horizontal  and  also  vertically these are  on the boat  there is near  the fire. In some  parts  the texture  looks rough like  there  is  the  rough texture  near the fire also  near the building that there is on the painting. We also can see very much the shape as we can see some rectangular shape and also triangular shape on the figures.

 This  is  another  paining  I  liked  during the  visit at the  fine  arts.

Date: 8thMarch2013

Name of Practitioners: Salvatore Gaffiero

Title of Exhibition: Fine Arts

Title of work: 18^th century active 1792 Salvatore Gaffiero Italian paintings

 In my opinion

I  choose  to talk  about  this  paining  because  I  really  like  the detail this painting  has. We can see the detail on the body of the soldier. We also can see the painting how busy it is. It makes  it  busy  because  there are a  lot  of  people  around the 2 main  people.  It is also interested on how the positions of the people are. Also we can see a scene behind all the people there is on the painting. We also  can see some  of the  formal  elements  such as the most  popular  one the line and also  the shape  is  important in the figures. The lines that we can see are straight but in some parts they are curved. Also the shapes that we can see are the triangles that are shown most on the figures. As the texture we can see that they are a bit rough. I might be seeing the  rough texture  on the soldier  and also  on the coat  of the  man  because  the painting is very detailed.

This is  the  close  up of the  most  part  that  I  inspired  myself  in this  painting.

 This is another one of the paintings that inspired me during the visit in fine arts.

 Date: 8thMarch2013

Name of Practitioners: Francesco De Mura

Title of Exhibition: Fine Arts

Title of work: 18^th century Italian paintings (1696-1782) Francesco De Mura

In my opinion

This painting also has some details that are interesting. It also inspired me on how in the 18^th century they used these colorful colors such as the pink the blue. We also  can  see the texture  that  the  dress  looks  smooth but  also  we  can see the  wrinkles  the skirt  has  this  is  by  the painter  made the shades  on the dress. Also we can see some interesting things on this painting such as the crown which it is small but looks detailed. As formal element in the shape we can see that the figure has the shape of the triangle. Also  we can see some straight  line  and  also  some  curved  lines .

 This is another painting that I visited during the visit that I made during the fine arts.

Date: 8thMarch2013

Name of Practitioners: Patio de las Munecas at the Alcazar, Seville

 Title of Exhibition: Fine Arts

Title of work: Jose’ Montenegro Capel (1856-1929)

In my opinion

I  choose  to talk  about  this paining  because  I  like  the pattern that we can see on this  painting. The  patterns  that this  painting has  a  very  interesting also  it  shows  you the  rough texture. The colour is based most on white but that helps you see more the pattern because of the light.   The shapes that we can see are most of them on the part where there is the pattern which the shape is more based on a diamond shape. Also we can see the half circle that helps you realize that it is an arch. Also we can see some lines that are straight and also some lines that are curved which the line shows you better what the object is.

This is another thing that I saw during my visit at the fine arts. It is  different  from the  others  because  this  isn't a painting but it is a sculpture  that is  made by marble.

Date: 8thMarch2013

Name of Practitioners: Eugenio Maccagnani (1852-1930)

Title of Exhibition: Fine Arts

Title of work: Leah

In my opinion

It is interesting that it is all made by marble but the artist got out the detail of this sculpture. We can see the shape of a triangle which that makes the whole body. We can see a lot the detail on the flowers which it really makes it amazing and real. As the texture the whole body looks smooth but then there is the rough part where there is the flowers design and also the cap she is wearing. It also has a unique position where in the sculptures it is difficult to find.

In my opinion

As we can see the students kept the concept of the diversity in sports were they made two figures making sports also we can see the floor piece where you throw the bowling ball. We also can see that the figures aren't that in detail also it looks like they are made of wood the figures. We also can see that the students based more on the brownish or orange colour.

It is also with the style of graffiti.  We can see the texture on the octopus which  it looks that  it is  rough also  we can see the texture  on the  turtle  that  also  looks  that  the  turtle have rough texture. We can see some shapes as well as the shape of triangle on the fish and also some round shapes on the building we can see in the fields. We can see a  solid  line  that  shows  us  the passage  which  it  is  more as a curved  line. 

John Ruskin

John Ruskin was born in the 8^th February 1819 in London, England and he died on the 20^th January 1900 in Coniston, Lancashire. John Ruskin was an English critic of art, architecture, and society who was a gifted painter a distinctive prose stylist and also an important example of the Victorian stage. He is the only child. He was educated by his parents till the age of fourteen. His mother was a devote Christian so every morning she made Ruskin to read the bible from the age of three years where he had to learn the passages  of the bible  by heart.

According to Robert Hewison his mother was the person who gave him confidence.  The conflict between his father's expressive desire and his mother's cautious restraint was to undermine his apparent confidence throughout his life. much of the art that he was to study was in conflict with the sensual appeal which kept him from the enjoyment of his body, in Praeterita (1885) Ruskin gives an unfinished account of his childhood however most historians consider it untrustworthy, he was joined by his cousin Mary Richardson in 1828 who came from Perth after his mother died.

This painting is made by Alfred Chircop where  I chose to talk  about  it because  It made with an interesting texture also  I  like the colors  how they combined together. It also  has been made  by using other materials in this painting such as  maybe be sand also it looks like there is a piece of wood stuck on the canvas where these things  give the interest on this abstract  colorful painting. As formal elements we can see a lot the shapes there are a lot of shapes that are like circle but  also  we can see the contrast  of the colors and also  the lines how some  lines  are straight  but some  of them looks  more as  coming into curves lines.

In my opinion

The artist looks that he used a different tool instead of paint brush it looks that the artist used the pallet knife to make the orange lines. I noticed that because of how the strokes are given. As formal elements we can see a lot the lines which some of them are straight and also looks flat but also looks thick. As color it looks that they match and have a nice contrast to each other and we can also see some rough texture where there are the strokes that are made with the pallet knife.

If we see deeply in this painting we see a figure of a woman we only see the head of the woman.  Which I also have the close up of the part I liked most in this painting. The artist used a lot of colors in this painting which makes the painting interesting. We also can see the contrast and also the thinking of how the artist matched the colors. As formal elements we can see a lot the lines which there are some lines that are straight but also some lines that are not completed. The texture also gives the interest in the painting. We can see that there are some rough texture which is done by the paint itself.

As the lines we can see that there are straight lines which some of them are solid black and also we can see that there are lines that are not completed and some of the lines are also dotted.

Exhibition I visited

I also visited an exhibition the George Muscat has displayed at the St James Cavallier in Valletta. The date that I visited the exhibition was on the 8th of March 2013. And the name of the exhibition was Forces. This exhibition was all about ceramics where we can see that George Muscat worked with the Raku, Stoneware, Stoneware paper clay, Paper clay /Pit Fired Earthenware, Stoneware Black Paper Clay, Stoneware Fired with melted glass, Stoneware Black Clay and Gilded, Earthenware Terracotta Clay, Terracotta Gilded. 

Facebook

This is one of the works that I liked during my visit of the Forces exhibition:

Date: 8thMarch2013

Name of Practitioners: George Muscat

Title of Exhibition: Forces

Title of work: Facebook

This art piece is named as the Facebook it is made from ceramics. George Muscat used the Raku to make these faces. All these faces were made between the year of 2011-2013 which are wall hanging and the dimensions is 77x325cm.

My opinion

In this piece of art work we can see a lot the formal element of the line and the texture also the shape and the shades of the faces. We can see some real straight lines that create an amazing texture on the faces. Also the shade of the face helps you see more the smile or even the sad face.  It might be shown that  the  lines  creates the rough texture  but  in the other way  the  lines  won’t be felt when you are touching the piece of art. The artist  created  all the types  of  faces such  as  faces  that  has  open eyes  and  also closed eyes. It also  shows  us  as  I  said  before  the smiling parts and also  faces  that  are sad. The artist also  in the  middle of all these  faces  he added  a  mirror so that the person who is  seeing the exhibition will  be able  to see the  identity  and  also the status  of  the  participant. He says these words “like the social network, all friends have concerned to be liked by the artist through having their face replicated”.

About raku

Raku is a type of clay that is created  from  a specific ceramic  firing method which the  process  is  that  you use both the fire and the smoke and  that is  how the cracks come. The piece is bisque fire and then it is glazed and undergoes a raku firing process.

As we are talking about the raku it has a special kilin for itself that reaches the temperature of about 1,800˚F that it is about 982˚C.  the pottery must  remain in the  kilin  for  about  30 minutes it  is  the  order  of  the  firing  process. By  using  the  tool  that  is  called the  raku tongs  you will put  the  piece  while it is hot and  glowing inside a  metal can  full of  combustible materials.            The heat will be  emit  from the pottery and  because  of  the  materials  that  we find  inside  the  can  it  will  catch  fire.

After the materials  cause  the  firing a  lid  will  be  added  onto the can and the pottery is  still  being  inside the can.  That is how the raku ceramic will have that type of texture and the cracks which the process is called post fire reduction.

Torso

This ceramic art piece that it is named as Torso is made out of the paper clay and pit Fired Earthenware. It is made during the year of 2012 and it is a wall hanging. The measurement of this art piece is 89x40cm.

My opinion

I  choose this  art piece because  it had  some  interesting  features  such  as that  the  hand  of  this  art piece  is  separately  but still  attached  to  the body . It also inspired me how he made sort of shelves and added the vases into the body. We also can see how the artist made the colours and developed an interesting texture. As formal elements we can see that there are lines that are curved and also straight lines. Also we can see some rough texture around the hand of the body.

We also  can  see  the close  up of the  part that  inspired  me  where  there is  2 vases.

Freedom

This  is  also  an art piece  that is made out from  ceramics  which George Muscat exhibited  during the exhibition . This is another art piece that inspired me during the visit of the exhibition called Forces.

Date: 8th March 2013

Name of Practitioners: George Muscat

Title of exhibition: Forces

Title of work: Freedom

This art piece is named as Freedom and it is made by ceramics where the artist George Muscat used the technique of melted glass and also used the stoneware. This art piece is made during the year of 2012. It is designed to be a wall hanging and the measurements of this piece of art work are 76x136cm.

My opinion

I choose  to talk  about this  art  piece  because  it  has been used a different  technique  on this  wall hanging piece because  the artist  used  the  glass in this  art  piece where when you fire  the  object  the  glass melts  and  give  us this  interesting texture and interesting feeling. The artist also used a different type of clay that is stoneware clay and he made an abstract shape. We also can see the formal  elements  in this  piece of art such  as the texture  as  I  said  before we can see  that it  is  rough but when  you touch it feels soft and also it  has  the  health  and safety because  it  won’t  be  sharp because  the glass  is melted. We also can see that the texture at the edge inside looks rough. We also  can see the colours  that  the artist  added  on the  piece called  freedom where we can  see that  he  matched the  colours  to the  colour  of the glass.

Migration

This  is  also  an art piece  that is made out from  ceramics  which George Muscat exhibited  during the exhibition . This is another art piece that inspired me during the visit of the exhibition called Forces.

 Date: 8th March 2013

Name of Practitioners: George Muscat

Title of exhibition: Forces

Title of work: Migration

I  choose  this  art piece  that is  made  with ceramics has  also  been done  with a different technique where I think that  the artist  to  make  the  fish  used  the  technique  of the  mold. He also used the stoneware and this art piece is done during the year of 2012. The purpose of this art piece is to be a wall hanging and the measurements are 52x65cm.

My opinion

I choose to talk  about  this  art  piece  because  it  also  has  a different technique  from  the  other pieces that the artist made. I think that the artist used the technique of the mold where he made the form of the fish with the mold. As the formal elements  we can see a  lot  the  texture  on the fish where it  look that it  is rough where also the background  looks rough. apart the  interesting texture  that  we can see  on the background  we also  can see the  colour that  it is  also interesting where we also can see  that it has more than one  colour.

Galaxy

This  is  also  an art piece  that is made out from  ceramics  which George Muscat exhibited  during the exhibition . This is another art piece that inspired me during the visit of the exhibition called Forces.

 Date: 8th March 2013

Name of Practitioners: George Muscat

Title of exhibition: Forces

Title of work: Galaxy

The art  piece  that  is  made  by  ceramics is  named  as  Galaxy  which the artist  used a different type  of clay that is Earthenware Terracotta clay. This art  piece  is also made  in the year of 2012 and  it is also  a  wall hanging  the diameter  of this art piece  is 52cm.

My opinion

As  from the other  pieces  this  one has  a different  shape which as we can see it  has the shape  of a circle but it has some  of the edges  that are squashed so it  gives  it a  unique circle shape. I also think that the artist used the slip technique where we can see the green. As a texture we can see that where there is the green part  it will be  felt  as a rough texture  but  the  other  parts  looks  smooth. We can see that how the color is made it also gives you the impression that it is rough but that it is made with the colour  The colour the artist used matches a lot and made the art piece looks more interesting.
