Painting for Volta art fair Basel
Recent acrylic paint for an artfair in Basel.
Combination of Japanese and Danish or Czech cultural or traditional events.
1: Czech Christmas: eating fishes, decorating Mistletoe(Jmelí), checking their fortune by a candle in a nut shell in water + Japanese new year: Mt.Fuji, an eagle and an aubergine are 3 most good fortunes items if you see in dream, especially in New Year's Eve. Kadomatsu, a bamboo-floral decoration, is in front of a house.
2: Fastelavn is Danish tradition in winter. They hit a barrel to kick out a cat. Japanese also has an activity of breaking a lid of a barrel. But it is a celebration for drinking Sake in the barrel, called Kagamibiraki.
3: Mixture with forest ceatre art with Japanese Yokais. It implies death and life.
4: Maj is a wooden decoration in Spring + Japanese myth, Amano iwato, a god of sun hid in a cave, then other gods danced and played music to attract her to come out. Also There is Religious dancing: bon dance in Summer. People dance in circle around a wooden tower.
5: My personal experience or Copenhagen.
