"Yubi" Kirindongo started working as an artist in 1978. Since then he has participated in several international events, like the biennials of Havana (Cuba), of Johannesburg (South Africa) and of Sao Paulo (Brazil). In his own country he was given special recognition through the awarding of the prestigious Cola Debrotprize by the government of Curaçao. Kirindingo works with materials and metals, which when put together with his choice of subjects and the often rough textures of his work, a special energy is brought to what were once lifeless scraps.You can see his 'gallery-home-museum' on the western road from the city leading to the airport, only by appointment.
rago arts spring '08 modernist furniture auctions april 12th and 13th online catalogs
Phillip Lloyd Powell, a self-taught furniture designer who, working largely out of the public eye, produced elegant, sculptural pieces that are today highly prized by collectors, died on Sunday in Langhorne, Pa. He was 88 and lived in New Hope, Pa.images
Mr. Powell’s work has been shown at America House in New York. Mr. Powell died after a fall, said George Gilpin, a friend and business associate. No immediate family members survive.
Though Mr. Powell’s work is often described as midcentury modern, it routinely transcended the cool, clean lines associated with that style. His sinuous, textural furniture, which he painstakingly hand-carved from gleaming woods, often recalled forms from the natural world. A series of large walnut screens begun in the 1960s, for instance, features twining openwork that suggests a modern twist on Art Nouveau tendrils.
