Artful Expressions in Second Life: Uma Sabra and KyRaLy

Artful Expressions in Second Life: Uma Sabra and KyRaLy | Art & Culture in Second Life - art Exhibitions, Literature, Groups & more | Scoop.it

Open now at Artful Expressions, the boutique gallery curated by Sorcha Tyles, is the January 2017 featuring the art of Uma Sabra and KyRaLy (ElizzaLiza).  As with the opening exhibition at the gallery (see here), these are two artists perfectly suited to being displayed together, their styles complimenting one another perfectly.

Both artists focus on avatar studies, with each presenting pieces which largely – although not exclusively – focus of the face in close-up, with both opting for minimal backgrounds with their subjects. The resulting images are hauntingly evocative in tone, look and emotional content.

At The Bridge with Terrygold  - SoloDonna Club - "Roofs"  Enoki  in Second Life

At The Bridge with Terrygold  - SoloDonna Club -  "Roofs"  Enoki   in Second Life | Art & Culture in Second Life - art Exhibitions, Literature, Groups & more | Scoop.it

Running from 13:00 SLT on Wednesday, December 21st through until January 6th at Art on Roofs, is The Bridge by Terrygold, an exhibition of over 40 of her images and studies in what I think is the largest display of her work to date.

Anyone familiar with Terrygold’s work, cannot help but be struck by her expressive use of monochrome, her minimal and striking use of colour and the manner in which props form an integral part of her images and the narratives they project. Seeing so many pieces on display here, complete with thematic groupings, really brings the extraordinary power and beauty of her work home.

"The Brother's Tale" , von Silas Merlin - Pica Pica - Second life

"The Brother's Tale" , von Silas Merlin - Pica Pica - Second life | Art & Culture in Second Life - art Exhibitions, Literature, Groups & more | Scoop.it

Silas zeigt aktuell auf seiner eigenen Homestead Region eine Reihe seiner 3D Skulpturen. Wer die bisherigen Arbeiten des französischen Modellierungskünstlers kennt, würde vielleicht vermuten, dass Silas hauptsächlich Skulpturen von Kindern ausstellt. Das ist hier aber nicht so. Die meisten Charaktere sind eher monströs und mit kriegerischer Symbolik.

Eigentlich braucht man sich zum Erkunden vom Landepunkt nicht wegbewegen. Ich bin nur ein paar Schritte zur Seite gelaufen (falls noch weitere Besucher kommen) und habe dann alles mit der Kamera betrachtet. Die Skulpturen reichen von einem Meter Größe bis zum Giganten von etwa einhundert Meter.

Two artists are currently on display within the galleries at Ayuda Virtual, LeMelonRouge (LeMelonRouge Onyett) – aka Francesc Palomas – and Desy Magic. They present very contrasting exhibitions which illustrate the breadth of 2D art potential in Second Life, whilst also touching on 3D art in-world as well.

LEA 6: "The Cruelty of Peace" von Lilia Artis - Second Life

LEA 6: "The Cruelty of Peace" von Lilia Artis - Second Life | Art & Culture in Second Life - art Exhibitions, Literature, Groups & more | Scoop.it

Am 11. Dezember 2016 öffnet auf LEA 6 um 1pm SLT (22 Uhr MEZ) die Installation "The Cruelty of Peace" von Lilia Artis. LEA 6 gehört zu den Core Regionen, die etwas unregelmäßiger an Bewerber vergeben werden als die 20 Artists-in-Residence Regionen.

Übersetzt heißt den Name der Installation "Die Grausamkeit des Friedens". Entgegen dem ersten Eindruck, den man auf der mit Pastellfarben gestalteten Region erhält, ist das Thema der Arbeit leider ein sehr ernstes. Denn es geht darum, dass die Gewalt zwischen Menschen auch im vermeintlichen Frieden allgegenwärtig ist.

"Hand" von Bryn Oh -  Immersiva  -  ab 10. Dezember in Second Life | Art & Culture in Second Life - art Exhibitions, Literature, Groups & more | Scoop.it

Am Samstag, den 10. Dezember, eröffnet Bryn Oh ihre neue Installation "Hand". Ich zeige heute noch nicht so viele Fotos davon, da ich selbst nur kurz vorbeigeschaut habe. Ich werde mir das aber auch noch einmal in Ruhe ansehen und dann noch ein paar weitere Bilder bloggen.

Ihre letzte Installation mit dem Namen "The Singularity of Kumiko", hatte Bryn Ende August 2016 abgebaut und dann direkt mit der Arbeit an "Hand" begonnen. Es gab auch bereits vor einer Woche die erste Ankündigung zur Eröffnung, gefolgt von einem weiteren Blogpost am 9. Dezember, in dem dann noch weitere Details erklärt werden.

Apmelina sometimes felt like she was being watched by aliens here and the work behind her on the above picture is actually called "Visit from Venus" but the notecard she picked up at the gallery was reassuring.

Abstract Line Art Gallery it's a 2D RL Work's compilation BY MORLITA Quan (MorlitaM).

The pictures here exposed are RL works which mix classical painting with a post graphic design work focused on the lights and geometry.
Inspired by the nature, tries to show an abstract concept about the beautiful nature's shapes with a strong touch of the geometry , always guided by the feelings and the abstract touch.

Taking place at the Club LA and Gallery, curated by Fuyuko ‘冬子’ Amano (Wintergeist), Body Talk offers a collection of 16 pieces offered in a large format. Presented as a series of monochrome images, they form an evocative study of the human form and moods – not all of them necessarily suitable for viewing at work – with equally evocative titles: Desire, Cocoon, Jeux de Mains (“Hand Games”), No Regrets, and more.

"Hand", a spectacular art installation @Immersiva, the latest work of Bryn Oh ⋆ Second life | Art & Culture in Second Life - art Exhibitions, Literature, Groups & more | Scoop.it

On the December 10, 2016 Immersiva opened its doors to the last artistic work of Bryn Oh. It is an elaborate art installation that this fine artist realized in 3 months of hard work. The result is unprecedented because it is an elaborate art installation that consists in the narration of a story, the participation of the viewer through the experience and, of course, in complex 3D construction…

The storyline follows a young girl, Flutter. It's a creative and interesting explore and although I didn't get any pics of them the textures on some of the walls along with the use of projectors were truly intriguing. Be sure to tip or purchase some of the items along the way or in the gacha in order for Bryn to continue to host these kinds of sims for us to explore. Enjoy and give yourself plenty of time as there is so much detail to think about and work through along the way.

A Vordun Old Master Exclusive - Vordun Museum and Gallery - Second life

A Vordun Old Master Exclusive - Vordun Museum and Gallery - Second life | Art & Culture in Second Life - art Exhibitions, Literature, Groups & more | Scoop.it

     The Vordun is proud to announce the addition of an exclusive piece to
the permanent collection "European Masters."  This quaint little painting
by Dutch Golden Age painter Albert Jansz. Klomp (1625-1688) measures just
39 centimeters tall, and now hangs to-scale for you to view in-world.

     The subject of this pastoral landscape painting is in the title of the
piece itself, A Bull in a Meadow with Goats near a Tree. Albert Klomp is
known for painting pastoral scenes, and his pieces have often been mistaken
for Paulus Potter, celebrated Dutch master. Klomp's pieces can be seen
today in museums such as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Fitzwilliam
Museum in England.

     This painting was recently acquired in real life by The Vordun, and
recreated in 3-D mesh to exhibit exclusively at The Vordun's permanent
collection European Masters: 300 Years of Painting. Plan your visit today!

The Cruelty of Peace - LEA 6 - Second Life

The Cruelty of Peace - LEA 6 - Second Life | Art & Culture in Second Life - art Exhibitions, Literature, Groups & more | Scoop.it

Opening today, Sunday, December 11, at 1 pm slt, is The Cruelty of Peace, an installation by artist Lilia Artis on LEA6. What at first seems like a charming, snowy landscape, with semi-transparent trees and plants shimmering in celadon and lilac, becomes a horrific scene as we witness what's happened: amid the pastoral setting, houses have been destroyed and burned, and bodies of families lie scattered on the cold ground nearby.

Opening  Friday, December 9, at MetaLES, curated by Ux Hax and Romy Nayar, is OpeRaAnxiEty, a major immersive work by artist JadeYu Fhang. As the title suggests, it's a world filled with anxiety, and a mix of beauty and horror, with much left up to the viewer's interpretation. "I don't like notecards," JadeYu said as we discussed her work. "I prefer people search in their heads — I like when people create their own stories."
