Bottled History by Commoner

“Ray Gascoigne has spent a lifetime at sea as a shipwright and sea merchant. His memories and love for ships are made physical through miniatures he constructs with extreme care within old whisky bottles. Over the past 60 years he has built hundreds of replicas of ships from the past and present of maritime legend. Many were built at sea, in the lonely cabin hours of night, and Ray (now 85) continues his craft on land today” (watch video).

“Hong Kong, August 19, 2009—Widely recognized as Japan’s most celebrated contemporary artist, Hiroshi Senju is renowned for his paintings of waterfalls. With incredible delicacy, he pours translucent paint onto paper creating the sensation of unrestrained movement[…] The context for Hiroshi Senju’s art is both the history of international modernist abstraction and Japanese landscape tradition and spiritual philosophy. Senju is one of the few modern masters of the thousand-year-old Nihonga style of painting, which emphasizes traditional Japanese techniques and materials. This method involves creating paints by grinding mineral pigments from stone, shell and corals, using an animal- hide binder, and Japanese mulberry paper mounted on board. While firmly rooted in Japanese tradition, Senju’s works are wholly modern with a clear link to abstract expressionism and action painting. Senju began exploring the waterfall image almost 20 years ago. Evoking a deep sense of calm, his waterfalls conjure not just the appearance of rushing water, but also its sound, smell and feel. Senju explains: “By pouring paint from top to bottom, I have been painting not the illusion of the waterfall, but creating the waterfall itself.” To create his cliff paintings, Senju relies on a similar method of spontaneously pouring mineral pigments onto paper. Th e subtle creases and wrinkles of the paper’s surface inspire the composition of the landscape. Senju then carefully applies dark pigments upon a platinum-colored background allowing delicate rivulets of paint to move across the surface. What emerges are ethereal, intricately rendered works that glisten in daylight.”
