Suzume Zuki and Pieni: a new duo exhibit at Raglan Tree Gallery for April-May of 2017

Raglan Tree Gallery

There is a new duo exhibit at Raglan Tree Gallery for April-May of 2017. The gallery is curated by Panacea Pangaea and the posters were made by her using our profile images.

Suzume Zuki

Suzume Zuki is a very talented illustrator, whose fan I have been for a while now. Her drawings show a lot of skill, and her themes are sure to capture the imagination. Some of her pieces are exclusive for this exhibit. She has a permanent booth in Galleria Kakku and has had several exhibits in Second Life. In real life her works have been featured on products such as calendars. Follow her on Flickr and check out her awesome SL pictures!

Pieni

I have a few of my drawings up, and each of them are first shown at this exhibit. One of my drawings, called Pink Bunny, is a 100% donation item to help with Louise's Cancer Treatment. As you may know, I own Galleria Kakku and have exhibited in Raglan Shire before, during the annual Art Walk and at the tree gallery.

Side by Side: Derry McMahon and Bear Silvershade

Windlight: Fairy Light Pink, Paulina

There are great exhibits side by side by Derry McMahon and Bear Silvershade at Raglan Tree Gallery, until end of March, 2017.

They of course exhibit side by side at Galleria Kakku, too, having secured permanent booths right from the start of the gallery. Both have very recognizable styles. And it is no surprise that they are storytellers as well as artists.

 Bear is a photojournalist in real life and has been known to read stories at the  Seanchai Library.

Derry founded the library in 2008, when it was known as the WOI Library. Now retired from her work there as a librarian and a storyteller, she has become known as a very talented SL photographer.

I also found their shops at Heron Shire Warf. Getting lost in their images is a journey worth taking.

Two more days left of the Maymay Matova exhibit at Galleria Kakku!

Reminder: Two more days left of the Maymay Matova exhibit at Galleria Kakku! Go quick before end of month. Meet the animals, in pictures and in person. Ice skate and spend some time. Thank you to Maymay for a happy making experience!

Galleria Kakku artists at home and featured elsewhere

I recently blogged The MadPea International Food Fair for Feed a Smile, which is open from February 18th to 4th of March, and mentioned there were a few familiar names from Galleria Kakku among those featured at the Art Exhibit curated by Kultivate Magazine.

There are some new pieces in their booths at Galleria Kakku, so I thought I would show you.

Isis Boa said her new works were inspired by a dream. I absolutely love the intensity of her works in her booth.

Kayly Iali is showcasing her drawings, which are amazing. She says in her description, that the technique was inspired by the Drawing Demonstration of Costa Vavagiakis on Youtube. She also appears in this book about 5-Minute Sketches. And for good reason.

Suzume Zuki makes colorful and beautiful art which seems to come from it's own fantastic world.

Jolie has her own Art Dream gallery and is quickly becoming a name in the SL art world. I can see why.

Art at MadPea International Food Fair

The MadPea International Food Fair from February 18th to 4th of March, is full of food themed goodies, and 50% of the proceeds are going to the Feed a Smile / Live and Learn in Kenya charity that helps impoverished children in the Rhonda Slums of Nakuru, Kenya. They have live events, and so much shopping to do, that you will stay busy all day. But did you see there was an art exhibit, too? And quite a good one at that. Mad Pea really brings it, when they have events. The exhibit was curated by Kultivate Magazine, which has been involved in quite a few charity events as of late, I have noticed.

(Artists from Galleria Kakku featured at the Food Fair: Suzume Zuki, Isis Boa, Johannes1977, Jolie, Kayly Iali)

I first heard of this event, when Suzume Zuki told me she had been accepted as one of the artists. Her beautiful art has always been special to me. I had to wait a bit before I got to the fair, because I have been crashing a lot lately, in Second Life. But now that I managed a visit, I noticed they have some other great artists familiar from Galleria Kakku, too! I am so excited for them all. Take a look at all of the art, though, there are great pieces out.

The fair is huge, two sims in size. So there will be a lot for you to explore. I took a few pictures, but really it is impossible to get all of it in a few shots. This is a great charity and a fun event, and I am glad to see so many people participating. You can see the digital counter with the sum raised live on their website and at the event. It has jumped quite a bit every day, such a great job!

Drax Files has a great video on what Feed a Smile is doing in SL. Lindens may seem like small change to some but with events this size, people are really making a difference. Just 100L$ pays for a meal for one child.

Two new artists at Galleria Kakku

I am very excited about two new artists at Galleria Kakku. Both are first time exhibitors in Second Life, and both show so much talent! Their booths are on the third floor of the gallery.

A visit to the Layachi Art Gallery

Silas Merlin introduced me to a fantastic artist called Layachi Ihnen, whose exhibit "Visions éphémères ...  éphémeral visions" at  Layachi Art Gallery opened today and will be open for two weeks. I find his use of acrylic painting and digital technologies together to be intriguing. You should also visit his main gallery here.
