“Rivoluzione”, painted by @_millo_ in St. Petersburg, Russia. . Description: “In italian the word ‘rivoluzione’ (revolution) has two main meanings, the first is strictly connected to the a sudden, complete or marked change in something, and the second is connected to the orbiting of one heavenly body around another.
. “I focused myself on this second meaning trying to represent it as a series of circles that passes literally through the character. Each planet follows its orbit and all of them are the personification of the revolutions lived by the main figure. . “The message I want give is to find your personal revolution. When something is getting over is the exact moment to find the strength to revolution.” — #artoffaith #millo #milloland #sam #streetartmuseum #brighterdaysarecoming
Closeup of “The Mastaba”, a massive, public art installation on display in Hyde Park, London, until September 23. The artist is the renowned Christo Claude, who stacked 7500 oil barrels to create this structure on the Serpentine Lake. Him and his late wife, Jeanne, are known for their outlandish art displays, which are intended to bring beauty and discovery to public audiences, the kind that would never enter an art gallery. Imagine being able to create with no limitation on space or resources – that is the work of Christo and Jeanne Claude. . View more photos at @christojeanneclaude and #christojeanneclaude.

This is the work of #SantiagoParra – it’s abstract and impulsive, while also very deliberate and informed. Parra describes his creative process below: — “One of the things we are doing differently is that we eliminated composition and image construction. Abstract expressionists and modern artists leaned heavily in composition and construction of the image, their thinking which was the thinking of the time was very much based in Cartesian logic and of course art had to represent its time. We can see this in Kline for example, but this is valid in Rothko, Motherwell, Newman and to a degree in all of them. Kline used to construct his images with a careful planning beforehand, in fact more times than few he sketched compositions in little plates and then used a projector to enlarge them in the big canvases, he could take a year deliberating if one brushstroke should be painted or not, and all this is visible in his paintings, although apparently brush strokes were painted quickly and with a sense of spontaneity only the actual gesture was done so, because the planning of it, where was it going to be and how, was planned meticulously. This deliberation is visible in the finished work, time is an element in a painting and time in Kline’s work is a rapid gesture done with lots of consideration, in a whole, time in Kline’s painting is long and composition denotes planning and deliberated decision making. What I do is different, my paintings are not constructed following composition guidelines, I do not make previous sketches, paintings are constructed in the act itself of painting without deliberation and in one single brushstroke. Impulse is the important element in my work, by eliminating composition and logical image construction, images deriving from my process are faithful results of impulse, the speed present in their making depicts the speed present in our time, which is by the way, a hell of a lot faster than the time people lived in the 1950’s. By abandoning planning and deliberation in the painting process I was able to rid painting from composition and doubt, what we see is the true image of impulse.” via @santiagoparra_ — #artoffaith

Yo-Yo Ma, via @onbeing: “I can’t say the word ‘beauty’ without also equating it with the word ‘transcendence.’ Beauty is often an encapsulation of a lot of different things in a certain moment. It could be a poem. It could be an event. It could be in nature. But when that encapsulated form is received, there’s a moment of reception and cognition that is startling. The moment that something is revealed — something is being transferred. There’s a transfer of life. It’s the human cognition of that vastness, the awe and the wonder, something that’s bigger than yourself.” . The great cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, shares his philosophy of living. Turning fear into joy. Performance as hospitality and communal witnessing. Beauty as a transfer of life. Sound as visual. How music makes us better. And being a firm believer in accidental meetings. Listen at @onbeing. — #artoffaith
An architectural installation by #RowanMersh in 2009, made from over 150 miles of cotton thread. To create this piece, Mersh traced the moving rays of light and shadows they cast throughout the course of a day. — #artoffaith
