You are invited to see any time during March and April my Art Exhibition at UWO Weldon Library Archives and Research Centre in London, Ontario, Canada.
Title of the exhibition: Friendly with nature, city, country and planet.

Summary statement about artist work:

In this exhibition:
"Friendly with nature"
Few paintings express person's private identity interacting with the larger stage of surrounding Canadian culture that includes psychology of love, social connection, environmental esthetics and identity within family and friendship ties.
"Friendly with city"
Few paintings represent images of UWO and London cityscape.
"Friendly with country -- Maple Swing"
Few paintings express artist thought about different art disciplines that reach and connect through across entire Canada. It starts with the discipline of music where thoughts and emotions become written notes of sound and then the notes read and played by musicians become an expressed melody. A visual artist takes those notes, distorts them slightly and places them on canvas. Then Northern wind blows and it scatters everything in the same pattern as scattered yachts over the ocean. All that structure is surrounded by philosophical contemplation of Maple leafs and held up by a fashioned classic female pose.
"Friendly with planet"
Artist present activities express concern about environment and the human role. Our journey in life allows us to experience challenging tasks towards perfecting existence. To express those ideas artist made Greeting Cards with images of a boat/heart floating over Earth, decorated by crystallized Maple leaves and fresh flowers while giving life to new flowers. All those flowers are communicating and coordinating to promote flourishing ideas of inspiration and build consociation about our Planet.

Overall theme of my 3 displayed pieces,
Moments on lake Huron, Deep Sensuality, Patriotic friendship:
In the essay 'The Ego and the ID' Sigmund Freud said that 'The ego' is ultimately derived from the body's sensations, chiefly from those springing from the surface of the body. Then in 1943, Didier Anzieu wrote about the notion of the 'Skin Ego', where he shifts emphasis to the surface of the body's exterior. "The skin is the social and physical frontier of the body, where a person's private identity interacts with the larger stage of his or her surrounding culture". (1)
Many artists and art critics emphasized that artists should always make clear that drapery covers living figures. Artists should pay close attention to various kinds of fabric and the way the folds behave differently. The folds vary according to the thickness of the cloth and the type of garment. Michael Angelo went beyond the idea of drapery as a cover of a living surface. He treated the drapery as if it was a second skin of a figure.
As my drawing project "The notion of my Skin Ego", I decided to develop this idea in my own way as an artist, include Didier Anzieu's notion of the 'Skin Ego', and implement Michael Angelo's skill of treating the drapery as if it was a second skin of a figure. The skin of the figure becomes its flesh, and then the flesh becomes the envelope of the body inside and the drapery will become the skin.
