I will not be ‘famous,’ ‘great.’ I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one’s self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.

Kyoto, 2015, #776 Pigments, gampi paper and gold leaf.The artistic duo Angel Albarrán and Anna Cabrera (both born 1969 in Spain) travel to and stay in Japan frequently, and their time spent in this country has strongly influenced the aesthetic content of their work and printing techniques. The solo exhibition at IBASHO will show works from their series, 'Mouth of Krishna’ and 'Kairos’, giving the visitors a thorough overview on the essence of their work.
The title 'Subtle Shadows of Bamboo on Bamboo’ derives from the renowned Japanese 14th century playwright and theorist of the Nōh-theater, Zeamie Motokiyo, who used it as a metaphor for Yügen, the most important of all of the Japanese aesthetics values combined with Wabi and Sabi:Yügen entails three elements, which can be seen in Albarrán Cabrera’s works:
A traditional sense of elegance.
A mysterious depth of the Universe.
A feeling of sadness because all the things are transient.The duo uses a wide range of processes and materials and handcraft their prints using classic printing methods, such as platinum and silver halide or invent new ones, such as pigment prints on gold leaves. They create copies that are unique in themselves. The poetic and sensual nature of these prints is proof of an unrivaled craftsmanship.

“The world is not a problem to be solved; it is a living being to which we belong. The world is part of our own self and we are a part of its suffering wholeness. Until we go to the root of our image of separateness, there can be no healing. And the deepest part of our separateness from creation lies in our forgetfulness of its sacred nature, which is also our own sacred nature.”— Thich Nhat Hanh

Model Resting. Robert Sivell (British, 1888-1958). Oil on canvas. Gracefield Arts Centre.
Together with James Cowie and Archibald McGlashan he was a founding member of the Glasgow Society of Artists and Sculptors in 1919. Their exhibitions took place at the McLellan Galleries and attracted some controversy over the exclusion of the work of non-members. Sivell traveled to Italy at some point during these years and this trip had a strong influence on his work.
