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.

Watana Kreetong<br />

Watana Kreetong<br />

Thailand<br />

Fireworks of Color and Light<br />

The lightness of his brushstroke reveals Watana Kreetong as a water color virtuoso<br />

walking his own path. The shimmering light and color play in his landscape<br />

paintings is delicate. Oscillating shades of light give them their characteristic<br />

expression. They radiate cheerfulness and afford viewers a joyful, poetic experience.<br />

Thousands of color nuances increase the appeal of the landscapes depicted.<br />

Like travel photographs assembled in a photobook, they take viewers to<br />

beautiful places and make them float between dream and reality, as the artist’s<br />

impressionist brushstroke creates a magic fascination rather than a photographic<br />

reality. It is the emotional experience of the moment that is captured and<br />

expressed in these paintings.<br />

Wirbel von Farbe und Licht<br />

Die Leichtigkeit des Strichs und Kolorits weist Watana Kreetong als virtuosen<br />

Aquarellisten aus, der seinen eigenen Weg beschreitet. Das flirrende Licht- und<br />

Farbenspiel in seiner Freilichtmalerei ist delikat. Die Töne der Lichtfülle geben<br />

den Landschaften ihren spezifischen Ausdruck. Sie strahlen Heiterkeit aus und<br />

beglücken mit dem Wohlgefühl der Poesie. Tausende Nuancen seiner Farbpalette<br />

steigern den Reiz seiner Landschaften. Gleich einem Reisebildband entführen<br />

sie zu schönen Orten, sodass man zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit schwebt,<br />

denn der impressionistische Duktus gibt anstelle fotografischer Wirklichkeit magische<br />

Faszination wieder. Festgehalten wird die momentane Erscheinung – ein<br />

gefühlvoller Augenblick.<br />
