7th Rencontre Artistique Monaco - Japan - Blake's Phantom
Last night saw the opening of the 7th Rencontre Artistique Monaco - Japan in the Auditorium Rainer III. It's a marvellous space overlooking Port Hercule and of course 'le tout Monaco' was there including many Japanese ladies wearing traditional dress - wonderful!
Each artist showed one work only. This beautiful piece is by the well-known Canadian sculptor Blake, whose studio is in Monaco. This is one of his new series called Phantom and yes, that's real gold leaf which I believe takes over a week to apply. This sculpture is called Phantom Sky.
The exhibition continues today and tomorrow - 11h to 19h.

This looks beautiful!
I heard the name "Blake" somewhere...
Maybe you showed us some of his art pieces before??
I wonder if we see photos of the ladies in traditionel dresses as well? Would be nice!
Have a nice weekend, Jilly!!

Barbara, you are right, I have featured Blake's work before. I love it as you can imagine. Glad you do too.
Very good shots - I like the light control you've got. Do we know the name of sculpture? @extradiagetic
@extraddiagetic - I only know the name of the series but I'll add the name of this specific sculpture tomorrow sometime. thanks for kind words about the shot.
