Shadows of Strength: Frank Atisso’s Art Exhibition at Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery

by Oema | Jan 29, 2024 | Art | 0 comments

In the month of February, the renowned Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery, owned and curated by Dido Haas, will host an exceptional art exhibition titled “Shadows of Strength” by Frank Atisso. The exhibition will be presented in “The Annex” room at Nitroglobus, offering the audience a unique perspective on the interplay of light and shadow through grayscale male nude photography.

What makes this exhibition even more special is the rarity of artistic image exhibitions featuring the male nude in Second Life. Frank Atisso aims to break the mold by providing the audience with something different from the usual artistic routine. In “Shadows of Strength,” Frank portrays himself in various interpretations of nudity, exploring the inherent beauty, strength, and vulnerability of the male physique.

Frank Atisso is a well-known name in the Second Life art community. He has been an influential art blogger in the past, writing numerous reviews of Second Life art exhibitions on his blog, “Art Kornersl.” When writing reviews became too time-consuming, he created the Art Korner Exhibits HUD, which provided a weekly overview, including landmarks of Second Life art exhibitions. Furthermore, his contributions extend to the gallery scene, as he was the former owner and curator of ArtKorner Gallery, which has now transformed into Artsville Galleries with Jerzzie Reece as his counterpart.

When Frank showed some of these remarkable images to Dido Haas a while ago, she immediately suggested that he exhibit them at Nitroglobus. Dido Haas is thrilled with the quality and mood of these photographs and takes great pride in showcasing Frank Atisso’s work at Nitroglobus, making it the first gallery ever to exhibit his art.

Additionally, Dido Haas expresses sincere gratitude to Adwehe for her artwork, “The Fountain of Strength,” situated on a GO board play, created especially for this exhibition. Adwehe’s artwork adds another dimension to the atmosphere of “Shadows of Strength” and has captured Dido Haas’s attention.

Frank Atisso’s “Shadows of Strength” exhibition promises to be an extraordinary experience for Second Life art enthusiasts. The grayscale photographs, skillfully utilizing the interplay of light and shadow, delicately highlight the contours and lines of the human body. This exploration of beauty, strength, and vulnerability in the male form is undoubtedly a testament to Frank Atisso’s artistic commitment and talent.

Art lovers and visitors of Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery should not miss the opportunity to admire “Shadows of Strength.” The exhibition offers a unique chance to immerse oneself in an artistic experience that challenges conventions and provides a fresh perspective on the forms and beauty of the male body.

Whispers of Stillness: Exploring Melusina Parkin’s ‘Silent Shores’ at Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery

by Oema | Nov 17, 2023 | Art | 2 comments

As I stepped into the ethereal world of Melusina Parkin‘s ‘Silent Shores‘ exhibition at the Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery, curated by the visionary Dido Haas, I found myself immediately captivated by the artist’s endeavor to capture the elusive essence of silence within the virtual realms of Second Life.

Embracing the Void: A Digital Odyssey

In an age where noise inundates our senses, Melusina Parkin beckons us to explore the profound beauty of emptiness through her lens. ‘Silent Shores’ is not merely a collection of virtual images; it is a testament to the artist’s audacious attempt to encapsulate silence within the pixels and hues of Second Life.

The Silent Symphony of Pastels

Wandering through the gallery, it becomes evident that Parkin’s choice of pastel colors is not arbitrary. The soft, muted tones create a visual harmony that complements the overarching theme of silence. It is as if each stroke of her digital brush whispers a story of tranquility, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the subtle cadence of color.

Where Voices Fade: Solitude in Pixels

The exhibition masterfully employs lonely landscapes and hazy visuals to convey the absence of noise and chatter. Through blurred images and gentle hues, Parkin paints a canvas of quietude, where the viewer can almost hear the silence echoing within the virtual space. It’s a testament to the artist’s ability to create an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of the digital realm.

Silence as a Void: The Duality of Absence

In contemplating the curated images, one cannot help but grapple with the paradox of silence as both absence and presence. Parkin’s work invites us to confront the duality of silence, where it can evoke a sense of peace yet also resonate with a tinge of melancholy. The deliberate choice to subtract rather than add elements amplifies the impact, leaving the viewer with a profound emptiness to ponder.

Minimalism and the Shoreline Serenity

A significant portion of the exhibition features minimalist representations of beaches, rendered in delicate pastels. These serene seascapes, stripped down to their essence, radiate a quiet beauty that is both calming and contemplative. It’s a masterful blend of minimalism and emotional depth that characterizes Parkin’s unique approach.

Closing Thoughts: A Silent Ovation

As I conclude my exploration of ‘Silent Shores,’ I find myself in awe of Melusina Parkin’s ability to transcend the visual and immerse us in the auditory world of silence. The exhibition is not just a collection of images; it is a symphony of stillness that resonates with the soul. In a world clamoring for attention, Parkin’s work stands as a testament to the power of embracing the quiet, even within the bustling landscapes of Second Life.
