One
day, while the family was out for a walk, we spotted a sigh
on a store called Mosaica.
It sounded interesting.
Once inside, we met a feast for our eyes. Mosaics.
This
one is HUGE, and almost complete.
The artist Diabala (pronounced
Ja-la-ba) was finishing this (and several other pieces)
getting ready for her Show/exhibition in ten days time.
Look
at the intricate detail in the colours and patterns.
Fab isn't it!!
How
much patience...
How much persistence...
How much talent and skill...
... amazing.
This
one also caught my attention.
I
never would have thought you could capture the subtle changes
in skin tone with TILES, but somehow it works!
I came in several days later and took this. The piece sure
was coming on!.
Meanwhile,
in another corner of the studio, Ian sat, creating a lampshade
(light-treat, more like - see the Show below.)
Also,
amazing. Just amazing.
A
ha!
That's how it goes onto the lamp.
Cool.
This piece also caught my attention.
The colours are vibrant, the pattern enticing, the subject
intriguing.
The
detail is astounding.
I also noticed a mirror and candle holder in the corner.
You really can tell that Dialaba is someone who has a 'sense'
of balance, dimension, colour and scale.
The Show
This
is the artist Dialaba at her showing on Friday the 28th 2003
at Mosaica, Hamilton Hill, Western Australia.
As I said above, the lamps were a light treat.
Great job Ian.
The pieces are now finished and on display.
The show was fantastic. Great job Dialaba.
If you're in Perth, stop by and check
Mosaica out. It's on Rockingham Road in Hamilton Hill (in the
same shopping centre as the Gym, it's called Rockingham Shopping
Plaza.)
