(International) --Tackling head-on the sensitive issue of children's lives lost to extreme violence, international artist Aberjhani kicked off the 2019 art season with the launch of the provocative new series, "Kaleidoscope Moons for Children Gone Too Soon." The series successfully combines themes of social and environmental justice with aesthetics of highly-appealing formats and styles to confront one of the most disturbing concerns of modern times. It kicked off with 3 canvases and a special series gallery posted on Fine Art America/Pixels. The gallery can be found on this page: Kaleidoscope Moons. The posted canvases are numbered but each also has an individual title. Number 1 is "Ascension," number 2 ", and number 3 "Intensified." Product pages each carry a description of the specific artwork but also contain the following description by the artist of the new series: |

“Specifically: The news out of Houston, Texas (USA) was particularly gruesome upon learning that 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes had been shot and killed while in a car with her family the morning before New Year's Eve. Her mother, LaPorsha Washington, was also shot but survived along with 3 other daughters. In my hometown of Savannah, Georgia, an up-and-coming 17-year-old rapper named Tyrese Carter and a 20-year-old named Jamar Davis Jr. were shot dead within 24 hours after the New Year got underway.
“The family of one gun violence victim, former university student Rebecca Foley killed 6 years ago in Savannah, announced plans to fight back. They are suing, to the tune of $35 million, the owners of the apartment complex where Ms. Foley was killed for the "inadequate security" they feel contributed to her death.
“Obviously art cannot bring back any of our loved ones lost to senseless violence. But for those who did not get their chance to establish mega-stardom and document their passage on this journey we call life, the Kaleidoscope Moons Series can testify on their behalf. It can proclaim they were here and their lives were as deserving of celebration and remembrance as anyone's."

The Silk-Featherbrush Collection, described by artist Aberjhani as "an accidental discovery which has yielded some very welcomed surprises," introduced collectors to an innovative body of work that fuses fresh style and technique with inspired social awareness and signature Chromatic Poetics processing upon its debut at Fine Art America and on Pixels.com November 15, 2018.
The four prints included in the inaugural collection were as follows:
​1) Silk-Featherbrush Number 1: Rhapsody in the Key of Joy and Mystery
​"I think what I like the most about working with this new style," said Aberjhani, "is how totally new it is but at the same time adapts easily to the classic and individual themes we've been exploring at Postered Chromatic Poetics. It's a big plus when an artist can use exciting new techniques to communicate universal passions and concerns."
​Shortly after being were made available for purchase, different prints were featured on the front pages of the Fine Art America Beauty in Art, Abstract Moods, and Art District art groups.
Current marketing plans for the Silk-Featherbrush line call for one or two new images to be released every Wednesday up until the end of December 2018. In addition, different items will also be made available at special discount rates for short periods.
The timing of the release of the Silk-Featherbrush Collection is fortunate for individual buyers and merchants because it allows them to take advantage of promo code HSPRXZ, which allows shoppers to take 30 percent off any of artist Aberjhani's catalog titles until the noted time.
Bright Skylark News Notes
--end--
The event takes its name, "Blossoms of Nonviolent Conflict Resolution," from one of the new works slated for release June 18. The works released in May plus previews of those scheduled to go on sale next week show the author-poet-artist moving in some new directions with visual explorations of night-time urbanscapes, family life, and possibly most surprisingly a trio of abstract works.
Breaking New Creative Ground
His night-time urbanscape, titled "Moon on Fire over Downtown Savannah" represents a departure from previous depictions of the historic city while further verifying the uncanny mystique that draws millions of tourists to it every year. (The current National Beta Club Convention being held in Savannah is only one example.)
Art and the Quest for Social Justice
"There is no ignoring the many social justice calls for renaming the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge so its nomenclature better reflects our changing more inclusive modern times. A lot of dedicated mindful people are working hard to make that happen. But that doesn't mean we have to wait to celebrate the aesthetic triumph and majestic beauty of the bridge itself."
Other than the image after which the summer 2018 event has been named, the new trio of abstract canvases has not been made available for previews. The artist, however, proposed, "To me they're like painted prayers offered on behalf of all those millions of people in the world today so desperately on the run from one country to another, or one history to another, trying to save their own lives and the lives of people they love. I’m also reminded of the too-many victims of gun violence in schools and homes. Our fellow human beings endure so much horror and yet through their faith and courage and sometimes triumphs, they gift us with amazing inspiring beauty."
A number of the new images already unveiled have featured on the front pages of several groups at Fine Art America, including: Beauty in Art, Contemporary, Social Justice Awareness and Unity, and Digital Art.
