Cricklewood residents surprised by wall art

By DON'T dis US

 A new work by Kevin vincenzo keating  ( KVK) has  surprised  Criklewood residents
  
  A work is on the corner of Cricklewood lane, called the Cross roads and is a symbolic interpretation of the four roads and 3 boroughs that meet in( Cricklewood, The tree symbol in the centre with 5 branches and 5 roots ) The coloured bird in the middle of the tree, represents the harmonisation between these factors and the added elements of community cohesion and art .

 The mural is sparse and unlike the normal approach to murals. and it is designed so that the spaces are filled and coloured by pedestrians and passing traffic. Work may only be up a shot while  Snappy Snaps the owners of the wall space were surprised by the graffiti  and said that it evokes novelty, design and precision  and shows how a place can be improved with artistic expression.  The work is an ode to Cricklewood and the community effort tha tontines to make Criklewood a more vibrant place.

RODCHENKO AND POPOVA – DEFINING CONSTRUCTIVISM by Phillip Worth

Tatlin - Monument to the Third International Constructivism We can derive stimulus and pleasure from visual art in a multitude of forms and styles, although personal subjective taste will of course determine what is the strongest “turn on” for any individual. Landscape, still life, city scenes, portraiture, life studies, to mention but a very few approaches, all have their addicts, but I would, for the purpose of this review, like to make a special plea for hard edged, geometric abstraction. There is something profoundly satisfying about the purity of geometric forms – straight lines, curves, circles, ovals, squares, triangles and whatnot strike a chord in many, if not all of us, and this satisfaction is intensified if the forms are the context for vibrant, dynamically juxtaposed pure colour. Many movements in modern art have sought expression in this way, e.g. de Stijl, Cubism, Futurism, Orphism – one could multiply the “-isms”. But not least among these schools of expression were t

By Phillip Worth (FPS President) The Open Studios movement has been a welcome development in the art world in recent years. Typically based on specific areas, be they counties, cities, districts or whatever, it involves artists inviting members of the public to visit their studios, to meet and talk with them, and to view their output. And it is always an added attraction if they can see artists at work. The area of West Sussex centred on Chichester has a particularly lively tradition, and is rich in creative talent, as the writer discovered on a recent visit. The occasion for this was to renew acquaintance with Max Birne, a former FPS personality, who has recently moved house from Wembley, where he had lived for many years, to Selsey, near Eric Coates’s ‘Sleepy Lagoon’. After the move Max lost no time in building himself a conservatory/studio at the rear of his bungalow and it was here that he entertained visitors during ‘Open Doors 2008’, a mandatory stop on the Chichester ‘Stud
