The title seems humourous or non-serious but there is a deeper meaning beyond. Through these SIMPLE pieces the BEAUTY of the world is expressed. The artist is telling people what she sees and feels from everyday news, and the conclusions she draws. A VISUAL expression using colours and words and simplicity in small pieces – with a LARGE message! …. Opinions are stated, and not hidden, she does not avoid speaking the truth. The take-aways’ are telling the truth, and make comments on news and society today, comments based on the artists own experiences… that many people seek beauty without seeing the beauty that already exists in themselves, in others, or in the world around them. “…it’s my point of view” – and a view that through this project, you can see, hear and challenge!
As guest artist in the project – Anja LISTL also shows transparency and simplicity in her art, using natural materials, giving a reflection of someone’s beauty… a product and a message, if you can SEE through it.
Art for Sharing! The project is timed for Christmas, a love celebration. Love is not possible to buy, but you can give it away as a gift. It’s an act of humanity to meet together to have a social time, to be open and honest, to treasure the other in the way of what and who they are in the real sense of Christmas. The excluded are included, all can join in. This art is like a light in the darkness for many, for sharing and giving a good warm moment. When you get joy and pleasure from simple things – a ray of sunshine, the smile on a face, a tree in the woods – then you have reached a stage in life. The artist shows her ability to do SIMPLE work, as well as very complex and intense pieces. The unique TAKE AWAY pieces in this show bring value and meaning, reduce the complexity of life, and have real significance. A simple artwork from a loving heart brings joy, pleasure and happiness to another or to many. Once the small everyday pieces are valued, then the bigger world can also be valued more.
TAKE AWAY ART originated during study in South-East Asia few years ago. The pieces of work contain a living individuality and activate the individual awareness, stimulate the taste of our senses, as they clear and refine our mind… work which is in origin spontaneous and experimental, appeals to the spirit of the moment, brings colour to your life, embodies liveliness, and is a stimulation – a natural force for a smiling face …..
The TAKE AWAY art project – big message / small piece of work – enriches peoples’ lives. For a small investment, you receive a declaration, like a piece of candy, to reinforce your view of contentment and happiness. A small slice of affordable art. Don’t miss out!
