Almost ready for Phase IV. As I round this one out I wanted to ask do you think I should keep the tiger scratched or no? I’m 50/50 on it. Either way I think it will look good.

— 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟖𝟒𝟏, 𝐜.𝟏𝟗𝟒𝟏⁣ ⁣ ⁣ This pictorial map of Cincinnati was published in 1941 by beloved local Cincinnati artist, Caroline Williams. It is described by Williams as a “conjectural rendition as envisaged - 100 years later - from the baffling accounts of the past.”⁣ ⁣ Her in-depth knowledge of the Queen City’s history, including its historic figures, buildings and events all tie together nicely in this masterfully done piece of art. ⁣ ⁣ To see more photos of this historical map of Cincinnati, and others, visit the @CincyMapCollection website linked in the bio. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #map #cincinnati #cincyhistory #carolinewilliams #cincyartist #queencityscenes #cincinnatiart #ohiohistory #cincinnatihistory #cincyarts #1841 #1941 #pictorialmaps https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-swVbhA-A/?igshid=i6ph0dleydg5

This piece from a small series 12x12 of cold wax paintings a few years ago, were a testament to the value of study pieces for larger works. #artstudy #coldwaxpainting #lizzorn #paintergrrl #cincinnatiart #minimalistart https://www.instagram.com/p/CBijcTJhdxX/?igshid=lvrzt9c8jq75

Bubi Canal, Into the Gloaming

Every work of art is a universe into its own. Into the Gloaming, the recent exhibition by Bubi Canal at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, presented a collection of images stemming from play, symmetry, and intuition, radiating the glow of twilight and the spirit of presences—small worlds of inviting light, darkness, and color.

Receptive to impulses from an ongoing process of examining images and mythologies, Bubi creates photo and video works from an intuitive place. On weekday mornings, when we meet at cafés in Brooklyn to do our respective computer tasks, he’ll often comment on mysterious places and objects dreamt the night before.

From notebooks filled with special words and image files of characters, locales, and objects of interest, Bubi might suddenly ‘feel’ an object or a piece of vintage clothing, for instance, and the process of creating ensues.

I’ve witnessed firsthand this creative process. When our friend Belén Prieto posed in front of metal rings in a Bushwick playground for the piece Panorama, Bubi minded the placement of props and photographing while I held the flash at an exact distance.

Working with symmetry and color, Bubi deals with unexpected elements that emerge during photo sessions, searching for a placement that transforms. Simple objects acquire an otherworldly quality through context and customization—the more surprise, the better.

I had the pleasure of modeling two characters for the show: Tártaro, a nod to ancient warriors, and the Ojáncano, a mythical Cantabrian character—costumed by Spanish designer Chaumen—that also appears in the Cosmovision video.

Photo sessions for this show often took place spontaneously: when the sunset seemed dramatic enough. For the Tártaro piece, the last image created for the exhibition, I was wearing a tight-fitting mask rigged with hair, and a Björn Borg vintage sweater. We did three sessions to get just the right image, Bubi adjusting the hair often (one day was windy and cold) while I stood still and tilted my head slowly. Even the slightest change of angle would alter the expression of the character.

To attend the opening, Lia Munch and I flew to Cincinnati together—what an adventure! We bolted around the city with Bubi tending to last-minute errands (especially the costume for Special Visitor, the owl character who made a guest appearance), visited the incredible Casablanca Vintage shop, and checked out local eateries.

On the night of the opening, I sensed the Zaha Hadid-designed CAC building was a fitting, expressionist setting for the show, contributing to its magical feel with enticing perspectives and texture.

One more shot from the opening at @manifestgallery last night, me with my painting “Adonis”, thanks so much Manifest for hosting a great exhibit and doing all of the important publication work you do supporting contemporary artists! It is unique and valuable work. Looking forward to having this piece featured in the MEA s15 exhibition annual! ... on another note, also have included some images of favorite pieces from the @cincyartmuseum, including beautiful works by Van Dyck, Philip de Champagne, school of Velazquez, Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Lawrence, Sargent, and the cubist (I believe Juan Gris?) and this Hans Hoffman abstract piece that I really enjoyed. . . #artgallery #artexhibit #oilpainting #painting #art #arte #artist #portrait #portraitpainting #artshow #artmuseum #cincinnatiart #ohioart #mythology #mythart https://www.instagram.com/p/ByL_3WYh-7-/?igshid=ozvycad5ikgo

The Art of Commissioning Art

When you discover an artist whose work resonates with your taste and style, yet you have a specific subject matter in mind that you aren’t finding in his or her collection or that works in your desired space, you may decide to commission the artist to create an original piece just for you. Commissioned works have extreme personal value, yet require a great deal of planning and synergy between you and the artist before one stroke is applied to the canvas. Yet on the flip side, you walk away with an original masterpiece that is exclusive and specific to you, your space or to the person you are giving it to.

Karen Rolfes, Cincinnati artist

Karen Rolfes, an impressionistic oil painter in Cincinnati, has been creating lush, colorful lake scenes, florals and trees since she began painting as a way to take her mind off her discomfort following back surgery 17 years ago. Since then she has not only sold scores of paintings to clients all over the world, but has two gallery locations, one in Harbor Springs, MI and the other in Cincinnati, OH.

A Karen Rolfes original oil painting

“Typically someone who loves my art may see something they like but maybe the colors and size aren’t quite right so they order a commission piece,” Karen said.

The memory and the commissioned painting

Karen is often asked to recreate a scene from a special moment on vacation or a meaningful memory.

“I genuinely enjoy the process and love working together with a client to bring their vision to the canvas,” Karen says.

The memory and the commissioned painting

She offers a few things to consider when requesting a commission piece.

What specific scene are you looking to create or re-create? Do you have a photo?

What color scheme would you like for the painting?

Who is this piece for? You or another person?   What is the purpose of this piece? For decorative purposes, sentimental or both?

Where is the artwork going to go? Do you have photos of the space where it will be hung?

What is the specific size of painting you are looking for?

What kind of frame will you be requesting or using?  When do you need the piece completed? What timeline can we agree upon?

A commissioned piece by Karen Rolfes

If possible, Karen will go over to the home to get a feel of the space to ensure that she creates artwork that will properly align with the style of the room where it will be hung. Once she is near completion of the work, she will ask the client to come to the studio if possible to make any adjustments needed.

A commissioned piece by Karen Rolfes

The key is keeping an open line of communication between the artist and client from the first meeting and throughout the entire process. As much as the artist is responsible for depicting the vision of the client, the client is responsible for making their vision as clear as possible for the artist so that in the end both are happy with the results.
