FINISHING the painting these days, 2021, februari!

… and it is for sale!

Ozzy – The Painting – has been a company in my studio since 2004 – I´ ve changed some things, it was even

bigger before. Now it is in three pieces instead of five! The Painting was presented at an exhibition at KULTUR

CENTRUM RÖDA STEN 2004, and the painting was also included in an retro-exhibition 2005 at Gallery Art Now.

First this year I have it for sale… as in for real!

titel:

“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”

For me, this is a very special object/painting… it represents an era, a time when reality shows began… I believe

“The Osbournes” was the first one… wasn’t´t it?

I am the kind of artist, they call a slowart-artist

THAT REALITY SHOW… THE OSBOURNS!

I needed it… why, I do not know… I very rarely look at things coming through the tv!

… at that time, when I did my life battle on different issues – Ozzy Osbourne show – was just hilarious,

a wonderful window for laffter,

empathy and presens… so, as a reaction to that very special window I summed up my impressions and

experiences in this painting that I gave the title:

“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”

BY offering themselves completely, the family shown a rare courage, and above all, Ozzy in this series – has given a total insight into human life journey!

Ozzy dear!

– between then and now –

The journey we make between young, carefree, angry and boundless – kind of immortal – to age, become

humble, fill the room with humor and self-distance … it was wonderful right then.

I know no one else who showed it so clearly, in such a simple way, so popular and at the same time for real …

it was great!

MARIE TOWARDS A NEW HAPPY YEAR!

THIS YEAR…

I BELIVE WE ARE MANY REMEMBERING ANOTHER HAPPY NEW YEAR WHEN WE ALL COULD BE TOGETHER

IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUT A SPECIAL ENERGY IN AN OBJECT?

🙂

GOT MY MASK TODAY

OK, if I can play – as pretending – that I am a smart space-chicken!

😉

… with my own spaceship, then i can cope with it!

There is already some kind of fashion-vibes on these face-things!

I Just have to document this very strange moment!

YOU´VJUST HAVE TO to find you´r own way in this contagious atmosphere, to make you´r mind accept it… for the moment there is no other choice. I really do think that this is just a begining of a type of living, for the moment we find it very difficult but somewhere in the future this in some way will be the normal. I am thinking specially at the divine antibiotics that in the rather soon future will lose it´s effect… maybe this will be, in a more development way, the alternative to that scenario! I believe that in the future, like in 10 years, people will look back at these times an feel horrified that we closed down nearly everything… I think it is absolutely urgent to start up all activities.. as in NOW… and it is absolutely urgent to design very comfortable protection alternativs… that people can cope with… find a way to be normal in!

We just have to step out of the anesthesia!!

… right!?

… would love to take a trip out there!

LAST NIHGT I PAINTED…

… last night I painted, Lolita has got her face back… what a process!! …and as many close said to me: – put away the board!

I didn’t – put away the board – so now it remains to be seen if this face holds, if I have found the right one! I kind of believe it, although it might not be possible to trust, hmmm …

COURAGE

THE SCULPTURE – COURAGE – MADE BY ARTIST BENGT OLSON

A Zeppa close-up of “COURAGE”

THIS IS THE SHORT VERSION OF THE FILM “COURAGE”

OBS: there is one 12 minutes long version of COURAGE upcoming

“Courage” is dedicated to Mr Lennart Larsson, who is a great art lover, patron and a very good friend to both Bengt and me.

“Courage” a story-telling sculpture!

“Courage” speaks to me, every time I pas it… sometimes I believe that some kind of spirit has moved in… or maybe it never left… it only left the quarry when Bengt moved the sculpture to Mölndal.

2017

I want to mention that Bengt received the French, very highly regarded – A Knight Of The Order Of Arts And Letters – 2017.

The French Embassy

Bengt is receiving the very highly regarded – a French honorary title as a recognition of “significant contributions to the enrichment of the French cultural inheritance”

… with many thoughts and sketches – for about three years. – how to portrait Bengt in the most truful way -relevant to my experience!

ABOUT CREATING CLOTHES

Featured By zeppa art

collage – some of – zeppa clothes & creations

COLLAGE-presentation of parts of Zeppa-Creations. This work makes an important existentiell balance for me towards my painting – where I always move around in the “deep” – creating clothes gives me a wonderful surface… where there is easy to be!

it is a way to speak

… or not to speak… It is a global language. It is so fascinating – all different ways – from the simplest to the most complex! It is wonderful, fun and ingenious. I think that we are rather unconscious concerning the dress-perspective, in general… despite all the fashion and consuming.

PERFORMANCE “PANG”: ONE OF THE MANY SKETCHES – I DID AN INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS ABOOUT THE BODY – CLOUTING – LIGHT&SHADOW INTERACTING WITH THE SPACE IN THE ROOM… FASCINATING! I WISH YOU WERE ALWAYS THIS ADAPTED, IN FACT A BIT LIKE AN OCTOPUS, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE… BUT MAYBE WITH CLOTHES YOU CAN BE SO ADAPTED TO YOUR INNER ROOM . THAT IS THE PASSION IN MY CLOTHING CREATION PROCESS.. IT IS IN A VERY EASY HAPPY PLAYFUL CREATIVE WAY! THE OPPOSITE WAY TO MY PAINTING PROCESS WERE I ALWAYS MOVE AROUND IN THE DEEPEST DEEP.

https://zeppaart.com/collaboration-pang/

I MADE THIS STRANGE HEADDRESS IN PAPIÉ MACHÉ – It was used later in another context

sketches for dance-costume

**sketch for dance-costume** – to dancer Carmen Olsson

I loved to do these sketches – I made a lot – never shown them before – my interest for fabrics and clothing began with this mission, 2013.

… how the stage costume became!

it became a doorway – a renewed way to think body&room – new insights

link to the development:

Surface… a blessing for the balance!

And this magic fabrics… that speaks and tell… impossible to resist!

KONSTHALLEN

Featured By zeppa art

Gothenburg – Sweden

“VÅR HIMMEL RÖD“

19 SEPTEMBER 2020 – 10 JANUARI 2021

“GESTALTAS ERFARENHETER SOM RYMMER ALLT FRÅN KÄRLEK OCH SYSTERSKAP TILL UTSATTHET OCH VÅLD.

MEDVERKANDE KONSTNÄRER ÄR: SARA-VIDE ERICSON, ROXY FARHAT, GABRIELLE GOLIATH, MOA ISRAELSSON OCH JOANNA PIOTROWSKA.”

[KONSTHALLEN]

I WENT TO SE THIS EXHIBITION

… and I had a very speciell experience!

This movie specifically describes my experience of Moa Israelsson´s cocoons !

MOA ISRAELSSON

“Moa Israelssons konstnärskap rör sig ofta i gränslandet mellan fiktion och verklighet, hennes skulpturer liknar föremål vi känner till, men är tillverkade av andra material och dimensioner än vi är vana vid.

Israelssons installation Go, Gone består av tio skulpturer i olika storlekar som hänger från taket. Skulpturerna är formade som stora sovsäckar, mjuka och till synes slitna av yttre åverkan. Stoppningen är synlig och materialet är fläckat, som om det legat ute under lång tid och bearbetats av tidens gång. De omsorgsfullt handsydda skulpturerna vittnar om en stilla vila. Tryggheten sömnen inger, men också sårbarheten. Tyget blir då ett försvar, ett lager mellan kroppen och världen som skyddar och värmer mot det som sker utanför. Verkets titel Go, Gone antyder att något gått förlorat och får sovsäckarna att likna tomma skal. Det enda som återstår är minnet av det som en gång funnits. Samtidigt inger den uppmanande titeln också ett hopp om att lämna förlusten bakom sig och gå vidare, att bli fri, och precis som puppan i en kokong förvandlas och pånyttfödas.

Materialvalet, silke och läder, förstärker känslan av skulpturerna som kokonger, skapade av naturen snarare än syntetiskt framställda av människan. Det är från just silkeskokongen som silkestråden utvinns. De två materialen silke och läder är båda organiska naturmaterial, men samtidigt varandras ytterligheter. Där det ena är ömtåligt och skirt, är det andra tåligt, slitstarkt och grovt. Kontrasten mellan materialen, det skira och mjuka, det grova och smutsiga, bidrar till en känsla av sällsamhet och förfrämligande: föremålen känns bekanta men samtidigt underliga.

Go, Gone, 2019-2020, 10 skulpturer, olika dimensioner, silke och läder.”

Quality Hotel The Weaver

Featured By zeppa art 2 Comments

context

This blog post is about my desire to think positively, to look ahead… It´s simply an artist looking at her surroundings and thinking… damn corona! How wonderful it will be when it is over! Many people have been invested at different levels of energi in this project below.

I do care… and I do love to express it!

… through some pictures, some text and

below – 4 – short films!

Quality Hotel The Weaver

There is something going on in Mölndal…

Two gentlemen – two companies

Petter Stordalen – Nordic Choice & Lennart Larsson – Husvärden AB

MöLndal’s new landmark

The construction is advancing, the building growing taller by the day… the high-profile Quality Hotel The Weaver. It sits within the grounds of Krokslätts Fabriker and will be managed by Nordic Choice.

The First Sod!

As with all Nordic Choice hotels, it aspires to be a welcoming “living room” for staying guests and visitors alike. In due time, when circumstances permit, food will be served, from simple snacks to gourmet dinners, as is the custom at Nordic Choice hotels.

‘

The formidable garage that manages to enhance the area instead of marring it!

Something absolutely lovely about this spot!

To the great advantage of the hotel is, on the one hand the main road outside, taking you straight to the city centre, either by car or by tram; on the other, a beautiful wooded area within a short walking distance with prepared tracks for running or rambling.

Have a look here!

… incredibly close to The Weaver!

“on the other side”

ON THE OTHER SIDE

And another thing!

Close by you will find two attractive neighbours, for anyone in need of either: For your physical health the well equipped gym Nordic Wellness, and for anyone wishing to enhance their looks, the Art Clinic

https://nordicwellness.se/vara-klubbar/goteborg/krokslatts-fabriker/

Quality Hotel The Weaver

Imagine being able to welcome friends and clients here, to stay for a night or more, to hang out, to socialize … pure pleasure!

I can see myself asking friends (in Swedish) “Ska vi träffas på Vävaren?”

… sounds good, doesn´t it !?

😉

KROKSLÄTTS FABRIKER…IT IS a realLy nice place!

… and I will tell you more about that another time!

WHOM I HAD TO THE TABLE…

on March 12, 2021April 12, 2021 By zeppa art

today I will celebrate… celebrate that life is increable…

it really is!

the limits are self made in our brains!

1976

me… struggling with life, struggling with existens, and yea… everything! The only thing that kept me alive was my goal, was my painting!

The story is long… so I shorten it very much for this moment of celebration by only telling this:

in one months time

I went from totally lost “in the pancake”, with 100 kr in my pocket – to flying Jumbo yet, first class to Perth, Australia – attending an Miss Universe event – as a guest! … and there was no strange attachment to this, there was only me surching for an mecenat. Another time I will tell the long version!

I went home after a couple of mounts with a lot of new inner windows to the world.

1979

I had this man, MR Julio Iglesias to the table… not ones but several times. Ones he started like in a poetic way singing a song with my name… then he asked me how old I was… he thought that I was the youngest – I was not – so the song was not completed! Anyway, he was very nice… and after a while he did find someone to love for the time, the finish ex Miss Universe… she was not so nice towards me in the cab! There was a lot of limousine traveling between different events in 10 days… we were al hanging together. Mr Iglesias, and the friend I was there with were jury members. My god… there is so many unbelievable storys to tell… it really is increable

I´v heard that he has got KV 19… that he is dead… I do not know… but I wish him the best where ever he is… and his children… if he is dead, it must be a huge loss for them.

The Cinderella shoes I got from the person who took care of all the girls, these where the shoes they had to the bathing suits… how political incorrect can you bee… me telling this story!!
But I learned a lot, and that was very correct I can tell!

🙂

the only medal i ever got!

until now … as I said, life is unlimited

😉

1981

I had my first exhibition in a flat, private… this painting, below was the first I sold, surprisingly to a famous art collector… I didn’n know who he was – sounds like Megan M. 😉 – but that turned the table so to speak.

This painting was a refection of my experience above… the luxury trip to Pert in Australia 1979.

I did sign my early work like this … Zeppa was born -84, as I ”died” and had to find me in life agan.
