Art Review of new show at the Blue Olive
The Blue Olive Gallery & Martini Bar, of Atlanta, Georgia is now hosting world artists Bruno DaVenzia and Marilyn Chen a collaborative showing.
The digital images of Ms Chen reflect the strength of post feminist consciousness prevalent in the industrial genre, encapsulating sexuality, modernity, and the power of womanhood in the third millennium. Nine bold images hint at the depth of imagination and highlight the technical prowess and imagination of this newcomer. Crossing traditional taboos of religious symbolism, sexuality, body art and the impact of mind control and social boundaries create an imaginative and challenging dialogue between artist and viewer.
The retrospective hodgepodge of paintings presented by DaVenzia afford an opportunity to find harmony with the viewer, while representing works from three major periods of the artist’s repertoire. The Blue Olive series of bar art, a group of caricatures of staff and patrons are a transparent effort to produce popular but affordable items. The nonrepresentational items, “Spermazoids” and “Meteor” are a bold statement of color, motion and line. The most interesting pieces are “love is a steamroller” a tradition trichromatic exposition of the resultant feelings of emotion and two dimension expression. The “Blue Dancer” is a commentary on the minimalization of women in the adult entertainment industry. Body proportions allude and the transparency delineates the view of dancers as objects rather than cognoscente beings.DaVenzia is an enigmatic expression of suburbanistic angst. The DaVenzia story is of a South American socially conscious painter who travels to the Soviet Union for study, becomes the archetypical Boris Natanovitz (Uncle Scrouge) put into a prison camp, work gulag, and hides out in the Baltic before seeking medical treatment in the USA. DaVenzia is performance piece by Bruce Newman who adopts different personalities and paints according to the style of his fantasy character.
