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
