href="http://www.trfineart.com/exhibitions/28" target="_blank">Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook</a> - <em>Two Planets/Village and Elsewher</em>e (2008-12)</p> <p><span>“Every life is in search of a narrative… For the storytelling impulse is, and always has been, a desire for a certain ‘unity of life’. In our own postmodern era of fragmentation and fracture…narrative provides us with one of our most viable forms of </span>identity<span> - individual and communal’” - Richard Kearney</span></p> <p><span>“<em>Two Planets/Village and Elsewhere</em> is about the village (the here) and elsewhere (the there) and how stories link people across continents, cultures and even time-periods. </span></p> <p><span>Rasdjarmrearnsook brought some visitors from elsewhere to her village in northern Thailand. The visitors came in the form of unfamiliar paintings and they told stories from long ago and far away: of dances in Parisian cafés, nude picnics and haymaking. These paintings by Renoir, Manet, and Van Gogh prompted the villagers to share their own stories.”</span></p> </blockquote>http://surrealappeal.tumblr.com/post/49450232552http://surrealappeal.tumblr.com/post/49450232552Thu, 02 May 2013 11:40:12 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f190f84bf06c8b9fa99fe893ae77fdbb/tumblr_mm1vkc0v2G1qmusrao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Jacek Yerka, <em>Dream,</em> 2004.</p>http://surrealappeal.tumblr.com/post/49237262246http://surrealappeal.tumblr.com/post/49237262246Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:09:48 -0700Jacek Yerkaartart historypaintingpastelPolishsurrealism<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cba9570c29bd0804afa2ac4015c59099/tumblr_mm1uxo3Jz71qmusrao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Jacek Yerka, <em>Triptych- The Middle,</em> 1996.</p>http://surrealappeal.tumblr.com/post/49236362101http://surrealappeal.tumblr.com/post/49236362101Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:56:12 -0700Jacek Yerkaartart historyPolishsurrealism
