The users were searching for artworks to bring in their own homes, with this project, promoted by Camaver Kunsthaus, will be promoted art to make a trip to the houses of art lovers. Artists from all over the world will be selected for a series of exhibitions of high quality, organized in location of great cultural and historical interest, in periods of great touristic passage.
Shamal is the name of a violent summer wind from the persian gulf.
Since the most ancient times it has been considered a rare event,
something bringing sudden changes.
Shamal is also considered a wind melting colors and sounds of distant lands.
Such exotic wind will become the symbol of the exhibition organized
by Camaver Kunsthaus International . So Shamal becomes a metaphor of
creativity and exceptionality.
The above similitude will give us the opportunity to deeply study all
the facets of being an artist and, moreover, of the creative thought,
that often appears elusive but also overpowering and unexpected.
The main aim of the exhibition is also to try a comparison between
two different artistic reality, local artists and other international
artists.
We would like to create an imaginary journey among artistic creations
and the innovative power of creativity pulled ahead by the Shamal
wind.
Sometimes it happens we wonder ourself how an artworks comes out.
Well, maybe such as in a primitive chaos, where ideas suggestions and
sensibility are melted together in an intricate movement, a creative
wind often gives a direction to all that feelings and suggestions,
getting the artist able to create something that will positively have
effects on the reality.
Ideas have no material shape, like the wind has not, so you cannot
touch them but their effects on reality are manifest and evident.
Very often the artist has a stronger sensibility in comparison to
common people so he is able to catch different point of view with his
eyes, he can revise reality and transform it in art and in something
completely new.
Artworks should be something acting on the mind and on the
sensibility of other people, something violent that is able to leave
a sign in and outside us, exactly like the blow of a strong and
overwhelming wind.
What this exhibition will try to communicate is that, creativity
together with that particular sensibility of the artists, is like a
gust of wind that blow through Countries and continents, able to
influence not only other artists in very different ways, but also
common onlookers.
Our goal is to try to show the artists through that process which is
something like air and wind: it cannot be corrupted, it is an
unassailable force able to lightening the obscure side of the
society, able to pull us towards new worlds and new dimensios, where
we can reflect on the interiority of the human being and about our
relationship with the environment.
We do not have to think at this wind, at the creativity as a distant
element from our daily reality or far from common people like we are.
Such as the air that is the linkage between the sky and the earth, so
the art is the linking ring of spirit and matter. Art is the only
existing way to sublimate materialistic impulses of men.
Now it becomes evident the connection with wind and divinity and
supernatural, frequently used in the past as vital blow or
manifestation of God's willings.
The artist appears like a creature pervaded by this special wind, by
this creative strain, he is free to express himself, his thoughts
that can never bear any constrain.
Today the wind of Shamal becomes communication, flexibility of the
thoughts and transformation of these thoughts in something real:
that's art.
