Saci Sachi Satchi

Saci Sachi Satchi

Just a simple post about one great show on contemporary visual artists on Ovation TV/television that I saw tonight.

This strange show was already in progress when I tuned in. I am always surprised to run across anything on TV about the visual arts, and when I stumbled across this one, I was blown away by the range of works being presented and the striking original concepts being presented by the artists.

As I watched more of the show I learned that the art being featured was from the Saatchi Collection. The art intrigued me, so I went to Google and punched in these phrases:

The Sachi Collection
The Saci Collection
The Satchi Collection

How the hell was I supposed to know that Saci was spelled with an extra A and an H and a T?

Anyway, I did finally find it after the show rolled the credits and I saw who was responsible for this collection. It was The Saatchi Gallery in London.

The gallery represents artists that do works like traditional folk art with elephant dung attachments, incredible installation works of 3 dimensional trompe de l’oeil, and abstraction impressionist pieces with no subject matter that feel like portraits.

I just wanted to help you guys that love art find this when you hear about it.

Scary Painted Windows . Halloween in Frenchtown NJ

| frenchtown, frenchtown nj | November 2, 2004

One of Frenchtown NJ’s most enduring and strange traditions continued this weekend as local students from Frenchtown Elementary School descended upon the shopping district to turn store display windows into canvases. This is done every year in town a few days before Halloween, and the masterpieces remain on view until after the Halloween Parade. In the photo above, a huge green monster roams a landscape of of Peter Maxian swirly colored clouds or mountains.

To see more photos of this, our favorite window, go to the
