Snake VI - 21st Century Animal Drawings and Watercolors Blue Unique

2020

About the Item

Tina Ribarits Snake VI, 2020 Watercolor on paper, framed 75 x 116 cm Unique copy There is a ca. 5 cm long tear on the right side of the drawing. Tina Ribarits focuses on the forest as a theme and a surface for projecting the Other, permeated with images of the exotic, the mysterious and the wilderness. The artist is interested in a "virtual encounter" with nature where the natural world is at once both an idea shaped by culture and a reality that is not untouched or ahistorical, but instead marked by the colonial past and economic interests. Her large-format drawings show birds and snakes from the tropical forests of Latin America. The artist finds templates for them in various sources, such as the Internet, books or her own photographs. These are photographs that create images of a foreign habitat while also constituting a view that suggests physical proximity. Snakes and birds appear independent, untamable; decorative feathers and snakeskin are also trophies of civilization. At first glance, the drawings may resemble 19th-century scientific illustrations, but in the watercolor, which comes closer to painterly style, few of the details necessary for classification can be discerned. Instead, they point out how media communicate the strange, how they foster a way of looking at the other that can hardly be separated from the beauty and attractiveness of nature's splendid colors and finesse. In the role of an investigator, Tina Ribarits gives aesthetic space to the reflection of postcolonial relationships, while the images she creates tell of a friendly encounter with our non-human counterparts. Tina Ribarits (was born in 1981 in Vienna, she is based in Berlin and Vienna. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and received the Austrian State Scholarship for Photography in 2013. Furthermore she was selected as artist in residence for stays in London (2010), New York (2012) and Rome (2017). She exhibited in solo and group shows in amongst others, Austria, Germany and the UK.

  • Koi Pond Conclave - Japanese Style Gyotaku Painting on Archival Kraft Paper
    By Jeff Conroy
    Located in Chicago, IL
    In Japan they are known as Nishikigoi, or living jewels. These brilliantly colored varieties of the Amur carp have been selectively bred by family owned fisheries for generations. When I began this series of Gyotaku (Japanese fish printing) I studied the many varieties of Koi, each with their own unique colors and patterns. My particular favorites are the Tanchos which can be identified by the distinct red spot on their heads. To create these pieces I print common carp I catch myself with sumi ink using traditional techniques used by Japanese fisherman...
