I want to thank all the participants of the previous contests. I am really impressed with your works and I want to invite you and new artists to explore more styles in art together not theoretically but practically.
This week we will haveModern + AFRICA. This was inspired mostly by Gauguin (in his case it was Tahiti).
Long time ago I made post about him. Unfortunately I couldn't scroll down to that post to give you a link. May be because of bad internet or other reasons. So, I will try to find this post and give you the link later as it was really interesting one.
When I just started to paint my teacher compared my first paintings with Paul Gauguin. I was soooo happy))). But she thought she insulted me as she was a supporter of only the realism school and all other schools were not accepted by her. But for me it was the best compliment ever.
Modern
The main point of this school is specific smooth forms, lack of depth. They exchanged light and shadow with colours. The representatives of this style showed their truth, they underlined what they thought was important. They considered it would be impossible to express it with just copying reality. The brightest representatives were Paul Gauguin, Gustav Klimt, Edward Munch, Michael Vrubel.
I also suggest the theme for your paintings: AFRICA! I visited Kenya in 2012 and would like to give you some photos for inspiration. It would be fantastic if you can use them for your paintings.
So, I invite you to take the idea of AFRICA and make it in MODERN style.
I bet it will be fantastic collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my Entry. Thank you sooo Much for hosting this contest. I keep meaning to enter. My excuse is that i usually take up to 8 months to finish pieces. I am slow. But this contest really inspires me to work fast, as my teacher always wanted, and just paint in general. @aksinya you are amazing. Keep hosting these and you will continue to inspire many. View my post HERE.

Fantastic!
So excited for this one, my favourite painting is about Africa. Thanks again for the theme and great contest @aksinya
Happy to hear that!!!!!!!!!!! Look forward to your entry!
Here is my post @akinsya! https://steemit.com/artstyleart5/@throughwindows/5th-artstyleart-entry-modern-africa-joanna
Great post
thank you!!!!!!
can i make my own version! like my idea of africa although i have not been there, more like a safari with humans living in harmony?
ok! but in modern style!
Hmm another challenging idea, now let me study modernism. thanks @aksinya, challenge accepted. i commit and hopefully finish on time!
))))))))) your entry will be fantastic! ask your daughter))
yes in times like these i might need to consult her on the subject. hehe
im excited and at the same time, my mind is till a blank canvas! lol
)))))))))))
Africa, Super. Some years ago I was in Lagos Nigeria and I photographed a couple of really nice artwork by local Nigerians on display at the hotel I was staying at. Since it is not created by myself, I'm not entering your challenge, but still wanted to share it with you and others who will participate for some inspiration.
beautiful paintings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed! I love them so much, but I thought they were quite expensive. When rembering correctly something ike 200.000 Naira. But just checked the US$ value for that and it seems very cheap for what the paintings are, something like 300-400$. Pffff, I should have bought them!
we can make copies)))
I Love That! :)
why not?)) I will try when I come home.
Cool! :)
I'm going to paint
Super! I will add you to database
You can add me to the list if you want, excited to give this a try. I have selected one of your photos, when posting my results on other social media how would you like me to credit you?
as it ok to give a link to my post? if not, just use it)))
I can do that, was just thinking this is still a new platform that not a lot of people know about yet. Might be better to give them like a Facebook page or something.
Just take a photo)) that is ok
adding you! cool!
wow -so good to be listed with the other artists -many thanks -- i will have a go at painting something for the competition -David
