Ripped and Torn
Valery Oisteanu and Jeffrey Cyphers Wright
Courtesy of the artist.
Ripped and Torn is an arcade of unique artworks that appear to be sliced and diced with a scalpel, torn and ripped by hand, and assembled from non-logical parts by 24 whimsical artists who set out to create the aesthetic illusion of a magical world conjured up from the depths of their subconsciousness.
Today collage has re-emerged as an exciting challenge to contemporary painting, recreating and reinventing the techniques of chance operation, cut and paste, image poetry, and computer manipulation. Destroying, deconstructing, and reassembling imagery produces new, totally different, and amazing results. These post-surrealist collagists use media sampling for their uniquely crafted artwork, often experimenting in the fourth dimension with words and strong textures of textiles, handmade paper, and objects. The curators are Valery Oisteanu and Jeffrey Cyphers Wright, both poets, art critics, and artists from the East Village who have helmed controversial group exhibits before, showcasing local talent, and mentoring many new artists in the form of collage through exquisite corpses workshops and numerous publications.
Participating artists in Ripped and Torn include John Evans, the dean of East Village collage, displays his exquisite compositions of found objects alongside the works of his daughter India Evans, a new star in the collage constellation. Amy Ernst comes from four generations of artists, and has a knack for producing phantasmagorical collages and books. Charles Mingus III combines digital imagery with political satire, and creates surreal sculptural works. Angelo Jannuzzi’s erotic collages light up the mirrors of our desires and ignite our suppressed urges. Rakien Nomura experiments with different handmade colored papers as a field for Van Gogh’s black birds. Allen Sheinman offers multilayered dreamscapes via curiously sculpted paper. Sali Taylor combines clusters of Cycladic images embracing sensual females. Micci Cohan’s colorful 3D assemblages open a Pandora’s box of spirits and laughter. Lucien Dulfan paints cosmic encounters, and adds collages of textiles and paper with a playful theme. Valery Oisteanu presents surreal assemblages of object trouve as time capsules of the East Village.

World's oldest wall painting unearthed in Syria
Thu Oct 11, 2007 11:11am EDT
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - French archaeologists say they have excavated an 11,000-year-old wall painting in
red, black and white in northern Syria which they describe as the oldest in the world, although it resembles
a modern work.
The 2-square-metre painting was found below ground at the Neolithic settlement of Djade al-Mughara
on the Euphrates, northeast of the city of Aleppo, mission head Eric Coqueugniot told Reuters.
"We found another painting next to it, but that won't be excavated until next year. It is slow work," said
Coqueugniot, who works at France's National Centre for Scientific Research.
Coqueugniot was referring to Swiss-German artist Paul Klee, who had links with the Bauhaus school,
a main player in the German modernist movement.Rectangles dominate the ancient painting, which
formed part of an adobe circular wall of a large house with a wooden roof at the 15,000-square-metre
site.
Excavations have been going on at the site since the early 1990s.
The painting has been recovered for now and will be moved to the Aleppo museum next year,
Coqueugniot said. Its red colors came from burnt hematite rock, crushed limestone formed the
white and charcoal provided black.
The world's previously known oldest painting on a constructed wall was found in Turkey but came
1,500 years after the one at Djade al-Mughara, according to Science magazine.
The inhabitants of Djade al-Mughara lived off hunting and wild plants. They resembled modern day humans
in looks but did not know agriculture or domestication, Coqueugniot said.
"There was a purpose in having the painting in what looked like a communal house, but we don't know it.
The village was later abandoned and the house stuffed with mud," he said.A large number of flints and
weapons have been found at the site as well as human skeletons buried under houses.
"This site is one of several Neolithic villages in modern day Syria and southern
