Body = Ran Andrews invited to show at Florence Biennale Art Exhibition
St. John’s,
Newfoundland : Canadian contemporary painter Ran Andrews is pleased
to announce that he will represent his country at the upcoming Biennale
Internazionale dell’Arte Contemporanea, in Florence, Italy.
The fifth edition
of the Florence Biennale will take place in the historical Fortezza
da Basso from 3 to 11 December 2005. The Biennale artists are emerging
and career contemporary artists chosen by the internal committee
and are coming from all
over the world to share their vision. Despite their differences
of language and faith, they find a common language in art to communicate
their cultural values. For this reason, in 2001, the United Nations
recognized the Florence Biennale as an
official partner in the program “Dialogue Among Nations”.
The last exhibition was defined as a wonderful Biennale, with 890
artists from 2 countries illustrating Kofi Annan's statement: "Artists
have a special role to play in the global struggle for peace. At
their best, artists speak not only to people; they speak for them.
Art is a weapon against ignorance and hatred and an agent of public
awareness… Art opens new doors for learning, understanding,
and peace among people and nations."
Ran will exhibit
and compete for the prestigious Lorenzo il Magnifico gold medal
with three paintings from his well known Goddesses series:
Erzuli : Voudou
goddess of passion, pleasure and prosperity. Oil on canvas 2003.
Nemesis : Greek
goddess of devine retribution. Oil on canvas 2004.
Liberty : a
contemporary version of the Roman goddess of personal freedom.
Oil on canvas 2005.
