Participating Writer :: Amelie Saens
Welcome to –Writer Amelie Saens
The nape, exposed, awaiting the kiss of the camera.
Amélie Saens is a multi-disciplinary artist, she derives her love of the arts from an early education in observation. The initial isolation and consequent appreciation for solitude has afforded her a distinct remote view of the world at large.
The formative years often spent in seclusion allowed Amelie a private seat in the social theater of life. She navigates her own ethereal world of sound and vision with sensual ease. Far from being an idealist, she has grown a taste for unflinching realism, language reveals truth among shapes and shades. Textures play against known surfaces and hidden reflexes, all interconnected by emotive content.
As a reclusive artiste, Amelie remains a minimalist in essence, she uses available materials to express her interpretation of natural elements. She sustains faith in her principles of natural order; no material used in her artistic creations has been conventionally obtained. Whether collage, montage or assemblage, painting or sketching the medium is re-purposed, reshaped and anew with an eye to pleasure.
The bare form, the essential offered in simple words printed or murmured, visual, aural or textural, there but for humanity– unveiled.
:
Turning away from the day
She softly sinks into cotton dreams.
A single line follows a curve,
in divine solitary purpose,
along hills and hollows.

I asked poet Gary Melvin to observe our gallery.
Hoping he’d at some point offer his commentary.

JANUARY 2011
“..If you think you’re in love now/Well just wait until dark”
Lotion, from “Around”
E N R A P T
So nervously casual unwrapped/enrapt
So near a naked half turn on to eye you
We lay fastened on grand pianos
Braying asses assuredly elegant
in perfecting predawn moonlight
.
A quiet gust came up
Only the smallest leaves take swirl
On paths in moon
.
Aligning our times
We counted skies
We chimed in
“ONE”

ANN Serves Up And Verves Up
Man, she’s a looker &
Men, do we look.
She’s there by that window
(At last, She broadcasts
“Breakfast in my Nook”)
She’s there by that window
Daylight delicately shone
Through shade, chemise,
Through thighs, so high
You sigh, low moan,
Your eyes go feast.
.
What Ann serves up for free
Warms, and verves up me.
.
(As Ann fleshes it all out,
You benefit too, without one doubt.)
