Arties© 2020

Sharing the love for Art with a laugh: recreating artwork with things found at home, embracing the Getty Museum challenge. One ‘Artie’ a day during Lockdown 2020.

Arties were made by a ‘one-woman band’, whilst the brilliant soundtrack was kindly composed ad hoc by Moreno Andreatta, Director of Research in Maths and Music at IRCAM, Paris / CNRS, Strasbourg.

What started as a friend’s challenge for a laugh soon became a daily appointment…and created an amusing bond among quarantined souls worldwide. It was fun and rewarding, especially seeing the tremendous feedback of participation – and challenges! – I was receiving. Such a positive exchange of energy!

Lockdown or not, I hope it will inspire you to do the same: it is also a great way to review artworks under a completely different light, bringing you closer both to the artist and to the subject portrayed. I will now remember each artwork in detail and, most likely, forever!

4 of my arties have also been selected by the Getty Museum and published in their brilliant little book Off the Walls - from which all profits went to Artist Relief.
