New Project: “Hello Tiger!🐯” An artistic collaboration of ki club.cool teachers, martial- and visual artists @theresezoekende and @patrick.hattrick
“Hello Tiger!🐯 is the first art work of a series of Digital Tiger Drawings highly inspired by the fabulous 18th century Japanese art of tiger drawing.
“Hello Tiger!🐯” is inspired by the painting “Tiger Cleaning its Paw” of Matsui Keichū (1785-1819), ink and color on paper, 133.5 x 58.4 cm, Minneapolis Institute of Art.
“Tiger Cleaning Its Paw”
is a mesmerizing artwork that depicts a majestic tiger in its natural habitat, meticulously grooming its paw. The tiger is depicted in a state of repose, with its paw held up to its face as it carefully licks and cleans each individual claw.
✿
Samurai warriors
in the Medieval and Modern period loved art that depicted tigers. Tigers, for them, was a symbol of strength, which they highly valued.
✿
Shotokan karate clubs
honor the tiger symbol. The Shotokan tiger first appeared on a book that Gichin Funakoshi -the founder of Shotokan karate- wrote back in 1922. The artist Hoan Kusugi and karate student of Funakoshi enticed Funakoshi, to write a book about Karate, Hoan Kosugi told Funakoshi that if he would write the book, Kosugi would design it and provide a painting for the cover. So, when Gichin Funakoshi produced the book, Hoan Kosugi produced the now famous Shotokan tiger.
His idea for the tiger came from the expression “Tora no maki.” Tora no maki, in Japanese tradition, is the official written document of an art or system, which is used as the definitive reference source for that particular art. Since no books had ever been written about Karate, Hoan Kosugi told Funakoshi that his book was the “tora no maki” of Karate, and since “tora” also means “tiger”, he designed the tiger as a representation of Funakoshi’s art. 👍

Mezzetino was a comedy character, based on Harlequin. Introvert and with a melancholy air, he tunes his guitar, knowing that his serenading will mean nothing to the lovers and serve only to heighten his own sense of longing as he gazes upon them.

Here you see another work from my sketchboard.
In the meantime I am still working on the fascinating La Fête Galante series.
In this post I focus on the dance, one of the staples of this genre.
🪩
The painter Nicolas Lancret painted a very beautiful painting around 1730 entitled La Camargo Dancing. Nicolas Lancret was one of Antoine Watteau’s most talented followers and helped to disseminate the taste for fête-galante subjects in the eighteenth century.
🕺🏻💃
Lancret, like Watteau, was often inspired by the stage, and the female dancer depicted here is Marie-Anne de Cupis de Camargo, a ballet star of the Paris Opéra. La Camargo is dressed in a white gown embroidered with flowers, suggesting a pastoral opera. She is gracefully poised and her partner’s gestures subtly mirror her movements. Camargo, who was immensely talented, expanded the repertoire of eighteenth-century ballet with new steps that encouraged active footwork. To facilitate her movements, she shortened her skirts and may have been one of the first dancers to wear ballet slippers.

This is my sketch board.
Let’s zoom in to check some studies of Mezzetino for the Fête Galante series.
.
Mezzetino was a comedy character, based on Harlequin but with his own distinctive costume, who was introduced for the first time by the Théâtre italien de Paris actor, Angelo Costantini. His expressive face allowed him to portray the role without a mask, a tradition kept alive by all successive Mezzetinos. That novelty attracted Watteau, who featured Mezzetino in several of his works.

Mezzetino, tuning his guitar while dressed in a Van Dyck civil war costume.
Mezzetino was a comedy character, based on Harlequin but with his own distinctive costume, who was introduced for the first time by the Théâtre italien de Paris actor Angelo Costantini on October 16, 1683. Constantini’s expressive face allowed him to portray the role without a mask, a tradition kept alive by all successive Mezzetinos. That novelty attracted Watteau, who featured Mezzetino in several of his works.

I depict the series La Fete Galante at a time when there is a lot of unrest in the world. Through the treatment of the theme, I express the wish for more respect, grace, courtesy and peace-lovingness, in small and large.

Through the treatment of the theme, I express the wish for more respect, grace, courtesy and peace-lovingness, in small and large. By focusing on dance as art in movement and lightness of being and placing it in the spotlight, I try to visually push the darkness into the background. In reality, I actually increase the contrast, which creates drama and reveals the vulnerability of this cosplay コスプレ.

La Fête Galante 5, 2024, h 50 x w 36 cm (h 19.8 x w 14.2 inch), analog hand cut collage, paper on paper
.
Since the summer of 2023 I have been working on a new series of works of art entitled “La Fête Galante”.
I recently completed the fifth collage work in this series.
Fete galante paintings were an important part of the rococo art period, in the French 18th century.
💃🕺🏻💕
The lush outdoor environments of fête galante paintings were often borrowed from paintings from previous periods.
Venetian paintings from the 16th century and Dutch paintings from the 17th century were particularly popular for this.

Mon petit poney 🐴🎠🧲

I was working on a nice assignment at the time. An interested collector wanted to buy three works of art from me. When I read the book “Les trois musquetaires” (The Three Musketeers), 1844, by the French writer Alexandre Dumas I felt that I had an interesting story. I especially found their famous motto: “One for all and all for one” catchy. Beautifully drawn illustrations by Maurice Leloir provided a good picture of the times. The three musketeers usually traveled by horse. Here I drew another musketeer on horseback, in nice bright colors. I gave the work a subtitle in French: “Mon petit poney”.

Since summer 2023 I take life a little lighter … ☺️ and worked on a new series of collage works entitled “La Fête Galante”.
The Fête Galante paintings were a genre within the French 18th century rococo period of art.
I especially like Watteau’s mixing of theater life with real life, so that the boundary between the two is completely blurred.
The lightness of being, the relaxed atmosphere, the costumes and the appreciation for intimacy: I find it all very appealing and tried to catch this joie de vivre, this lifestyle of la vie en rose in my latest art.🌹😘
