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. Using such unorthodox materials as thread, glass, fabric, batik, soap, and KY Jelly, Morley uses the associative and make do qualities of his media to give authenticity to his work ...read more

Why Travelers Love Princess Cruise Ships

Princess Cruise Ships cover one of the broadest ranges of ships on the seas. From large to small, Princess has it all. But with eighteen ships to choose from in the Princess line alone, deciding which ship suits you can be quite a job.

Princess has several very popular ships that are small—at least, as compared to some of their other ships. The Pacific Princess (670 passengers), Tahitian Princess (670 passengers) and Royal Princess (710 passengers) ...read more

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

December 25th, 2009 No comments »

I visited Turkmenistan in 1986. What has changed since then? The country’s oil and gas reserves have helped it develop its infrastructure. 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
