Tami Galili Ellis
THE COMMAND TO LOOK
@Blink Gallery
Exhibition Dates: September 8 - September 11, 2011
A series of mixed media expressive drawings, inspired by a vintage book from 1937 with the amusing title 'The command to look'. Tami Galili Ellis is an Israeli-Canadian artist. I am looking forward to see her mixed media drawings, because so far I just know her expressive, colorful works in oil. Her nudes are really impressive!

Mustapha Chadid: Présence /
Joe Fougère: Body & Blood
@ L. A. Pai Gallery
Exhibition Dates: September 8 – 28, 2011
Meet the artists Thursday, September 8, 6-8 pm.
Mustapha gets his inspiration from transience that occurs in ecosystems. Matter is always recycled in nature and is never entirely lost. He recycles metal pieces in using them for his sculptures. His metal artworks, made of discarded bits of iron, show furthermore the traces that time leaves on metals.
Joe Fougère expresses in his jewellery his critical and often satirical ideas. Under the title 'Body&Blood', he deals with topics like religious conviction and commercial industry. His aim is to challenge ideologies of these existing systems; the exhibit includes e.g. jewellery that refers to rosary and pyramids.
