Excellent Art 2019 - Exzellente Kunst 2019
This art book presents 31 artists from 19 countries on different continents. Most of them are award winning artists and finalists, others adequate guest artists. We encourage readers to choose any of the artworks in this book and, using our instructions for meditative art observation, deeply and consciously connect with it to experience the unique form of art-induced relaxation emblematic of our “Enter into Art” concept. Based on the visible, specific side of paintings and sculptures, and mostly leaving out aspects related to the artists’ résumés, we invite art lovers to try out this stimulating method of connecting with the artworks themselves. To accompany this excellent selection of paintings, some first-class international haiku poems are presented alongside them. Both original versions and English translations of the poems are included – reading poetry in a foreign language allows us to perceive its characteristic color tones, increasing its intercultural effect. The art and poetry pages give „Enter into Art“ artists the opportunity to present their artwork in combination with their own poetry. The printed book is available in the book trade and in internet bookshops. Hardcover: ISBN 978-3-96103-724-7, Publisher: Re Di Roma-Verlag, Language: English, German, Size: 26 x 21 cm Das zweisprachige Kunstbuch stellt 31 Künstler aus 19 Ländern verschiedener Kontinente vor. Die meisten von ihnen sind preisgekrönte Künstler und Finalisten, andere adäquate Gastkünstler. Auf den Kunst- und Poesieseiten präsentieren die Künstler ihre Werke auch in Kombination mit eigenen Gedichten.

Approaching the Distance<br />
With her abstract expressive prowess, Rowena Božič dedicates herself completely<br />
to the adventure of modern art. Free of real objects and exuding lyrical<br />
poetry and folkloristic cheerfulness, her work plays with the music of shapes<br />
and colors. Multiform and ornamental, painting becomes a hieroglyphic mode<br />
of graphic expression. The artist’s minimalist reduction of surface appearances<br />
manages to reveal the internal essence of her motifs. The tension between blue<br />
and yellow, for example, is pacified in a warm shade of green. A domed semicircle<br />
exudes peace and conjures up blades of grass in the field, while triangle<br />
shapes directed upwards are remindful of mountains and summits.<br />
Extrakte der Ferne<br />
Mit abstrahierter Gestaltungskraft gibt sich Rowena Božič voll und ganz dem<br />
Abenteuer moderner <strong>Kunst</strong> hin. Abgelöst von realen Dingen bis hin zu lyrischer<br />
Poesie und folkloristischer Heiterkeit spielt sie mit der Musik von Formen und<br />
Farben. Vielgestaltig und ornamental verwandelt sie Malerei zu hieroglyphischer<br />
Grafik. Durch die Reduktion des äußeren Erscheinungsbildes kommt das<br />
innere Wesen desto stärker zum Ausdruck. Zum Beispiel wird die Spannung zwischen<br />
Blau und Gelb durch ein warmtoniges Grün aufgehoben. Auch der gekuppelte<br />
Halbkreis vermag Ruhe auszustrahlen. Er suggeriert das leise Schwingen<br />
von Wiesenhalmen, während nach oben gerichtete Dreiecksformen Berge und<br />
Gipfel vermuten lassen.<br />
