SPIRIT OF HAWAII
SPIRIT OF HAWAII
If you
are already familiar with the bold, color-saturated
paintings of Ana Tzarev, her new Installation, Spirit of Hawaii, will not disappoint you.
Her
customary Thick-Impasto of Oil-Paints—Windsor & Newton must be getting Rich!—runs riot in depicting Hula-Dancers & Coffee-Bean-Harvesters in-motion.
Oddly
enough, all Tzarev’s Hawaiians seem to have Flattened-Noses.
When you go to one of the Hawaiian-Islands, you won’t find so many Natives actually looking like that…
This
through-running Nose-Convention is,
however, excused by a Commentator who suggests that this owing to Ana’s
distinctive Naïve-Vision.
Especially interesting are the
artworks that deal with Hawaii’s Deposed-Monarchy.
Queen Lili’uokalani is seen making a
Quilt-of-Memories. She is most
remembered as the author of the beloved song, Aloha.
Unfortunately for Hawaii’s Royal-House, it interfered with America’s
Manifest-Destiny, under which it was
deemed Necessary for Hawaii to become
a Territory, like Alaska.
