Everyday Beauty: The Art of Still Life shows almost everyday inOctober in the Seven Stars Gallery

Defined as ‘The depiction of inanimate objects arranged in a pleasing display’, the art of Still Life has ebbed and flowed throughout history. Though Edouard Manet called it “The touchstone of painting”, critics considered the genre to be the lowest of art forms, prompting Matisse’s wife, Amelie, to beg him to “stop painting those worthless still lifes!”

Constant Patience: a Story of Love and Truth comes to the Seven Stars Gallery Friday 7 June

Costia, a man from Ukraine and Patience from Taiwan play music and tell a story of Love and Truth. Costia says:

Music is bigger than us, music helps our soul to connect to its divine nature.
It happened that through practice of inner silence, music came to me. At first it was just a melody, a voice without words. Later because of love to a woman I began writing songs, it’s 20 years since, already. And this is one of our themes, Love. How we experience it? How it comes and goes?
The second theme is Truth. How we understand it? How we come to it?
Through those themes all our songs and the story we will perform connect.

In this year my friend Patience from Taiwan joined me and we began performing as a duet “Constant Patience “.
