I am proud to present the 3 new Exhibits @ my Streamlife Gallery@Indie Valley.
First of all a big thank you to the owners and the best supporters of Art of Indie Valley:Kalie Indigo and Th!!!
"Monuments and Emotions" Fotografic Exhibit by By Darwin
"Vigeland Sculpture Park, Oslo
"I have nine images of granite and bronze statues on display taken on visit to Oslo. The park itself contains over 210 such statues. The theme of the park is the "Human Condition" and the statues resonate emotions of joy, happiness, despair, sharing, caring etc. I have intentionally not named the pictures allowing the viewer to interpret the emotions portrayed in their own way."
By Darwin
"Dutch Diving" by r0bin Helsinki ...
"Friends often ask me "Is there really anything to see down there?" ... so here is the proof - Dutch Diving!
The fotos were taken in Zeeland province in the south west of the Netherlands where the water is tidal and full of life. Most were taken on my 50th birthday - a quiet Wednesday at Midsummer - so good light and no disturbances from other divers.
If you fancy joining me for a dive just call!
R:-)"
I am an amateur photographer living in the middle of the bulbfields in Holland. This gives me a magnificent view for about 1 month of the year, and pleasant rural surroundings for the rest. I have many passions apart from photography: scuba diving, travelling, cycling, walking, tennis, badminton, wine tasting, theatre, restaurants… and where possible I try to combine them.
Life Charron and Torben Asp
"the journey of life" a new wonderful collaborative Collaborative Art project realized together with Torben Asp!
Torben composes and performs electronic music of an ambient/new age style with input from other styles like classic music and artists like Jean Michel Jarre...To that you add a original and synthesizer magic and you are well underway into the recreative universe of Torben Asp.
Photos taken by me in june 2010 and inspiring music added by Torben at the beginning in july.
Every tune, every photo has its own story to take you on a mood-altering journey.
It is not only a photo+sound expo..it is more..we both agreed to call it an Experience!
Just walk through the sounds...the Images and let your mind,your heart....feel.

Just tp to Streamlife and feel..by yourself:-)

A Little Art Corner

In my little corner of Indie Valley, I have set up a small gallery featuring my own work. An annex of my larger gallery in the Avalon Art District, visitors can grab a landmark to the main gallery and check out the visiting artists there.

Currently on display in Indie Vallery is a cross section of my more recent work, from photography to watercolor and acrylic works. Look for some new works in a few weeks.
I encourage all the artists and content creators of the Kingdom of Music to run, don't walk (tp don't fly?) to Indie Valley and grab your own shop before they're gone!

Streamlife Gallery@Indie Valley
The Collaborative Art gallery of Life Charron is
a creative place where artists from all over the world,SL and RL, are invited to
show their art idea, share their passions and express themselves.
Life is happy to present the Expos:
- jazz Sound-Expo (a collaborative art project B/W Fotos by Life Charron
combined with the awesome Sax Music of Seba Sideways)
- Two's Company” Foto Installation by robin helsinki (fotos of couples, who are not necessarily company,and singles who might like some company ... )
- abstract paintings by Renault Cluny
- entropycube by Binary Quandry
jazz Sound-Expo by Life Charron
This is a real example of "Collaborative Art" combining my Black and White emotions with the magical Sax Music of Seba Sideways.
Seba's been playing Tenor Sax for more than 14 years and he works in RL as a Session Player in Reggae, Rock, Funk and Latin Bands.
Thank you Seba for your enthusiasm and your art :-)
***************************************************

This Exhibit represents a little part of a wider Expo that we are creating focusing on different sounds,instruments and trying to catch the essence,the soul of each Image.
Enjoy the drawings of Music...of Jazz.

robin Helsinki's "Two's Company” "
This Expo is a really eclectic and thoughtful representation of the whole world.
“Two's Company” are fotos of couples, who are not necessarily company, and singles who might like some company ...
I usually ask to all Artists to talk about their art,their passion and to tell me what they feel when they paint,take photos,ecc.
I used to call this form of non-interview "DEEP DIVE FOCUS ON",never using guided questions or forms to compile...just a free speech about creativyt and passion for art.
Here the Deep Dive about r0bin:

I have many passions apart from photography: scuba diving, travelling, cycling, walking, tennis, badminton, wine tasting, theatre, restaurants… and where possible I try to combine them.
In SL I specialises in photo installations, such as “Robin Goes Walkabout”, photos from Australia, both above and below the water surface, at The Bluffs, Christmas 2008, and “Storm in a Teacup”, a roller coaster experience of storms and a Japanese tea garden, at Cedar Island, Summer 2009, Colours of Japan at Streamlife Gallery, November 2009 and Postcards From Paradise at Ambient Jelly in June 2010.
I have also contributed articles to Metro Virtual Fashion magazine, and done the photography for the Ambient Jelly 2008 charity calendar. In between I have been a SecondAbility Mentor and a model for Enkythings shoes. But most of all I like to chat with friends by the campfire…"r0bin.
Renault Cluny
Weathered surfaces, maps, and aging skin are all influential in the paintings of Renault Cluny. Certainly influenced by abstract expressionism and post-painterly works, Cluny's paintings evoke a physical energy beyond color and form however, an image that Ren refers to as a "synaptic map".
Have fun with reading the Bio of Renault :-)
"After serving as a roustabout on oil rigs in the Persian Gulf, Renault Cluny determined that sweating in sweltering heat was not to his liking, so, destined to coast through life in the simplest way possible, he landed in a BFA program in the American deep south. Here, after a brief infatuation with raw oyster bars and bad music and only after serving three days in the Key West jail for disorderly conduct after he pulled a stripper off the stage and demanded she put her clothes back on, Renault developed his painting style; Post-painterly, neo-fascist, bluegrass expressionism, with just the right touch of vanilla.
After being run out of Florida on a rail, he conived his way into an MFA program at a major urban university in the heartland of America. While there, he drank enough bad beer and took so many drugs they were going to take his liver for medical research in payment for his textbooks, but it was later determined he couldn't live without it and the organ was so shot the University found absolutley no value in it.
Once he fooled all of them by citing the opening act of Merchant of Venice for his orals, they gave him the damned MFA and asked that he never set foot on their campus again. This was when a major, midwestern university offered him a teaching position and allowed him to collect money for debauchery and womanizing that would have made Jackson Pollack shiver. They actually paid him for this.
While maintaining a studio in the heart of the major urban center of the universtiy where he taught, Renault slept with nearly every coed enrolled in the School of Visual Arts and was hard at work on the Theatre Department when the dean's office caught wind and said he was cutting in on the dean's action. Naturally tenure was not granted because Ren couldn't come up with the $10,000 in grease money required. It was a sad time for the visual arts.
Hailed by such art critics as Robert Hughes who said, "baffling", about Cluny's work and the German artist Joseph Beuys who could only say, "hochesnudel" after living through one of the artist's parties. Usually found sleeping in alleyways because he can't find any place else to sleep and, quite frankly he relates better to cats than most people, Ren is happy to answer any questions you may have about his extensive body of work and to tell you about his plans for an upcoming book on the history of Amway."Renault.
Binary Quandry
Binary Quandry is a Second Life artist. The work I do is primarily based on interaction or reaction to avatars.
In my art the avatar become an abstract reflection of the avatar. Every avatar in Second Life has a unique number (Universal Unique IDentifier), the avatar key or UUID, much like a finger print in the physical world. I use the avatar key in such a way that each avatar become a part of the artwork. The artworks created include abstract images and sculptures and uses sensors or collision detection. By your presence you are making the art unique.
