</div>
<b>These three small paintings (12 x 12 inches) appeared in an exhibition called Montreal Views of the City at the Beaux-arts des amériques on St. Denis St. in January 2014. My interpretation of the theme was to paint my interpretations of the work of three giants of Quebec art from the 1940s to the 1960s: Although they look nothing like the painters I'm supposedly channeling, I did work as best I could with the colour schemes, styles and methods of the selected artists.They are Paul-Émile Borduas, Guido Molinari and Jean Paul Riopelle. </b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;"><b>JOHN POHL (visual arts):</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div id="3">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Germany’s Carsten Nicolai and Japanese-born, Paris-based Ryoji Ikeda opened a lot of eyes, mine included, to the mind-bending possibilities of what is known as “new media.”</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nicolai turned sound into graphic patterns in an installation at the Musée d’art contemporain that delved into the neuroscience of human perception. “Much of what we see is manufactured by the brain,” Nicolai said in May. “What is happening between what we think is reality and what is really there?”</span></div>
<div id="4">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ikeda did something similar in his installation that ran through the summer and fall at DHC/ART. He used mathematics to translate the electronic data that emanates from everything in the universe — from atoms to stars — into sound and graphic imagery.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The work of these two artists stirs the emotions, too. What wondrous realities they imagine and discover. But there are other ways that art stirs the emotions, memory being one of the most powerful. This is what Philippe Parreno, an Algerian who lives in Paris, brought to the DHC in January with his 70mm film of an event that took place on June 8, 1968.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Parreno recreated the journey of the train that carried Robert F. Kennedy’s body from New York to Washington following the New York senator’s assassination after winning a primary that cleared his way to being nominated as the Democrats’ candidate for president.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kennedy, a symbol of hope for change, had been electrifying the U.S. in a way that Trudeau was then doing in Canada.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Parreno studied news photos of mourners lining the tracks to watch Kennedy’s train pass by. But he made his film from the train’s point of view as it slowly chugs past the motionless mourners.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The cumulative trauma of U.S. political assassinations in the 1960s was on a level with 9/11. And Parreno transmitted this in a film that runs only seven minutes.</span></div>

I bought two or three huge peaches from this store in Goreme. The owner was young and very friendly. His wife and their daughter were inside and the girl was showing off her dress. In the picture on the boat, the couple at left were a woman from California, who had been laid off her teaching job in California and had no debts, so she stored her belongings and planned out a two year trip around the world with teaching jobs here and there along the way, all of them arranged, and she was only a month or so into her journey; he ran a coffee shop in a bathhouse museum, and he knew the captain. He always had a fishing line out and once he offered me one of the cooked fish he'd caught that day. Sometimes we talked a lot, other times we couldn't talk at all.John Pohlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16806165618940270446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317445241228243551.post-82171275696503791612010-02-28T21:47:00.005-05:002010-04-04T01:10:22.568-04:00Not Really Peruvian fish, 1 and 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGlC7P-3wJbtjXijL0KNsIbEzeEShhtZka10xHkUFVjRhczgYdBupRBNG6Tt9mgPlstqVsvbNy98LVCmb9ptpnbEYAT6q1p6ts9LQnpmgeCNGoSrvDindYEIQctiUvrZwLeD_yDajJN0B1/s1600-h/SCAN-2010-031a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGlC7P-3wJbtjXijL0KNsIbEzeEShhtZka10xHkUFVjRhczgYdBupRBNG6Tt9mgPlstqVsvbNy98LVCmb9ptpnbEYAT6q1p6ts9LQnpmgeCNGoSrvDindYEIQctiUvrZwLeD_yDajJN0B1/s400/SCAN-2010-031a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443492656406305058" border="0" /></a>

I know these aren't finished drawings, but the beauty and freshness of their sometimes awkward, quickly executed lines drawn from observation set them as goals for how all my drawings and paintings should end up looking. Fresh and bursting with life. But I admit I like to explore darker themes too. These two people remind me of bodybuilders I photographed years ago in Saskatchewan. I think the guy was later kicked off the police force for an assault. By contrast, the guy in this drawing is a peace officer whose record shows absolutely no felony convictions.John Pohlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16806165618940270446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317445241228243551.post-62155794653575166072009-11-01T01:29:00.000-04:002009-11-01T01:01:59.784-05:00Open Model Studio<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMqtt031Fa8_aIK-REIq46REUVVFvM2Wjk4ka59zoJ8s94oK4iUGAlSUb2KCqbNIvgfHca0gw4dITIRBX6BakkV9dUxQvmyQtbxHU7U75qvW0iahmMugG_Ar9bWcSFOo3xPEFFrVc43O66/s1600-h/Male.+Oct+27,+09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMqtt031Fa8_aIK-REIq46REUVVFvM2Wjk4ka59zoJ8s94oK4iUGAlSUb2KCqbNIvgfHca0gw4dITIRBX6BakkV9dUxQvmyQtbxHU7U75qvW0iahmMugG_Ar9bWcSFOo3xPEFFrVc43O66/s400/Male.+Oct+27,+09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399011172811939714" border="0" /></a>

It starts at 7:30, with 5 minute poses until the last couple are 10 minute poses. The posing stops at 9 for a half hour so people can stretch and pay their $10. (A fidelity card gives you a free night after five sessions). A bottle of Boreale Noir beer is offered to everybody, and then the last hour of 10 and 15 minute poses. </span></span><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">These two are from the last hour of the class, but I will also post some of the shorter poses, which often end up being the best ones.
</span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">It's pretty serious stuff for the people there and the models are treated with respect. The room is silent, except for the monitor who says "cinq (or dix etc.) minutes" before a new pose. After the session, however, there is starting to be some conversation</span></span>. </div>John Pohlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16806165618940270446noreply@blogger.com2
