open studios, ink and paint

This post is a mischmasch of links, can't find the red thread. Maybe some Asian connections? First: Stunning site by Japanese motion painting crew RinpaEshiden. This is no beginners' graffitti. Almost hypnotic; surprising, playful and so well produced. One clay piece: Terra Trance

Open Studios at Konstepidemin this weekend:
Lena Rydén and Åke Nordström, Saturday and Sunday, 12 - 16.

Lena studied traditional Chinese ink painting and uses the techniques in her own motifs. She also gives studio workshops now and then, it's a whole process of painting and then mounting the thin, almost transparent rice paper sheets, layer by layer.

Have a joyful weekend!
