THE WALLS OF ROOM 6A ARE THE CANVASES
FOR ARTIST EMIL TIBELL
Swedish born artist Emil
Tibell started working in the transformation of room 6A.
A freelance illustrator
based in Harlem, New York , Emil’s visual discourse
dabbles in the tradition of memento mori, the visual reminder
of the transience of life on this earth, found in the recurring
symbols of mortality and ephemeral corporal existence. Fed
by occurrences in his personal life, he also seeks to portray
the grueling human struggle with malice, addiction, loss and
love.
The murals will be shown
to the public by the end of winter.

DUTCH MASTER PAINTER FRANS FRANCISCUS
AT WORK IN ROOM 5C
|
Artist Frans Franciscus from The Netherlands works
as an contemporary Master on his paintings.
His works present an exhibition highlighting
modern art, mostly inspired by classic European paintings.
His sources of inspiration include pieces by painters like
Hendrick ter Brugghen, Caravagio and Rogier van der Weyden.
He combines or re-arranges compositions
of old masters depicting biblical stories in an up-to-date
and idiosyncratic fashion. Scenes from his own environment
are added and characters are restyled without losing their
original role. His works derives its meaning in part from
the tension he contrives to generate between his admired example
and his own creation.

RESIDENT
ARTIST ALEXIS EGGERTSEN AT WORK CREATING HER ARTBREAK INSPIRED
VIDEO INSTALLATION
 |
Alexis Eggertsen is a Seattle based
musician, writer and media artist. Her work alternates between
sensual and synesthetic meditations on natural rhythms and
relationships, and sarcastic and comedic reflections on contemporary
life. She is currently working on the Artbreak video installation
and her debut album, both which speak to each other, as well
as further developing Digiself, an interactive performance
she co-wrote, co-directed and tech directed, and which debuted
at Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival.
She recently placed second in the international
"Charlatan Ink Art Prize 2011" competition, and
part of the prize is a residency at the Carlton Arms. Here,
she is filming footage in preparation for a new video art
installation about the boundaries and breakthroughs of the
creative process. She will merge documentary footage of the
other artists working at the Carlton Arms with her own private
explorations of the individual hotel rooms. This will be in
turn woven with with symbolic and colorful representations
of creative frustration, exploration and breakthrough. Half
of the footage will be shot inside the walls of the Artbreak
Hotel, and the other half will be shot in her hometown of
Seattle, Washington, and will pull from both the comedy and
sensuality of her past work.
