Artist Ivan Morley’s Art Work and Paintings at the Saatchi Gallery
December 27th, 2009 No comments »Ivan Morley describes his paintings as poetic myth objects. Drawing from the Wild West ancestry of his hometown in California, Morleys works which range from folk-style illustration to full-fledged abstraction combine fact and more than a little historical embellishment in their narrative motifs.

Ivan Morley – Paintings – the Saatchi Gallery
December 26th, 2009 No comments »Ivan Morley’s paintings are inspired by the frontiersman’s lore of scrappy, dried-out California towns with names like San Gabriel, El Monte, and Tehachapi. Such locales and their all-but-forgotten (and possibly artist-fabricated) histories–if you can call tales of memorable cockfights and observations on the behavior of squirrels histories-seem unlikely sources of inspiration. Yet, from a mass of myth, a dose of his own vivid imagination, and a range of raw material, Morley has created some mighty ...read more

Brand new ministry buildings, of white marble and glass, and often referred to as the “palaces” are much in evidence in Ashgabat (Ashgabad). Wide new roads and parks have been built and each major town has a brand new theatre. Inter city roads are new and with little traffic, the airline is efficient ...read more
