The Hangar Music Contest 21 - 26

Here are the last  submissions for our Hangar Music Art Contest! The jury will start deliberating after this is posted, all teachers will choose their Top 3. The chosen pictures will be published by the end of the week - then we'll choose a Top 3 from that set, and finally the First Prize will be announced. The winner will get a lot of 'solo' publicity, on our Blog, Facebook and Instagram, as well as a certificate. All participants are eligible for the 'free membership-lottery'. And all participants will be able to exhibit their work as soon as we can organize a well-visited EXPO again.

The jury will have a hard time choosing, but we will do our very best!

The Hangar Music Contest: examples by your teachers II

This time I'll show you some of my work that is related to music in an entirely different way.
Almost 10 years ago I participated in the 'Holotropic Art Symposium'. With a couple of artists we experimented with Music' as inspiration. Holotropic art sees the artist as the antenna and the input can be anything sensory. A beautiful view, light, a soft feeling or pain, but also smell, or taste or as in our case, sound. The participants all received a CD with music especially composed for the occasion and had to listen and paint that music.
It was a fun experiment, my way of doing it was to translate the music into a kind of image language and it led to this first one in acrylics and oil:

The music was very modern, minimal with lots of different beeps, splashes and screeches.I listened to it until it made sense and this was the result. I had such a good time doing it - and it felt like a great exercise, so the year after I participated again.

The music was again minimal and modern, but slightly more melodious, and a little colder. As you can hopefully recognise from this painting (in acrylics).

The works were exhibited all over Romania, had a lot of publicity over there and the only thing that held me back from participating again was the cost of getting your work over there and back: It is near impossible to export art from Romania, even if it is your own. I seriously needed a lawyer to get the paperwork done. But that's another story.

Anyway, for the abstract painters this may be familiar territory - but it may be a great idea for Hangar members who want to participate and don't know what to do. Play a great piece of music and GO!

Looking forward to seeing your works...
Success!
