2017 Year of the Rooster

Steve Grant of Illinois

ICCPS North America Branch Member

2017 Is The Year Of The Rooster Chinese New Year falls in January or February, depending on the lunar calendar,  and is a great time for fun and festivities worldwide.  The date of the Chinese New Year is determined by the lunar calendar. Each year  is named after one of the 12 symbolic animals in sequence. 2017 is the year  of the Rooster. In the Chinese culture, Rooster is a symbol of auspiciousness and  good luck. Chinese people will celebrate the Lunar New Year on Saturday,  January 28, 2017. Darlene Kaplan of Virginia ICCPS North America Branch Member

Rooster Years: 2017 2005 1993 1981 1969 1957 1945 1933 1921 1909 1897

Those born in Rooster years are firm, fashionable, quick minded, impatient,  prefer make up, social and may be helped by some honorable person.  They have broad friends and are good in speaking and convincing in debate,  and have originality in color sensations. They speak as they think, without keeping  any secret. They often challenge the authorities, and are stubborn, prefer  luxurious styles, and prefer being praised and praising others at the same time.  They are frank and active, brave and interesting, witty with many strategies,  concentrated in mind, diligent, enthusiastic and generous. In love affairs,  the association and care of lovers should not be neglected even busy in work.   Alejandro Anjio of Vermont ICCPS North America Branch Member   Nona Spitzer of California ICCPS North America Branch Member   Judith Sutton-Fagan of New York ICCPS North America Branch Member   Alejandro Angio of Vermont ICCPS North America Branch Member Casey Shannon Director of North America Branch ~ ICCPS International Chinese Calligraphy and Ink Painting Society 国際中国書法国画家協会アメリカ支部：Ms. Casey Shannon　アメリカ現代水墨画家   Casey Shannon Studio Art.

Logo ICCPS North America

This is the new logo of the North America Branch of ICCPS

Designed by member Tai Oi Yee

The North America Branch of ICCPS ~ International Chinese Calligraphy and Ink Painting Society ~ recently held a competition among its members to create and design a logo to represent our branch. Tai Oi Yee won this competition. Her logo is an enso.

 

We are a global group of artists in sumi-e and calligraphy. 

 

Mission: Sharing the passion of sumi-e & calligraphy around the world without distinguishing between styles & backgrounds. Under the direction of master sumi-e painter, Ransui Yakata, the institute seeks to form a community of independent sumi-e painters with often different styles, but infused with the same passion.
Purpose: This community of artists can help show that this unique art form can often be interpreted with sensibilities and styles that are (quite) different. The artists associated with this initiative seek not only to promote their own artwork, but also sumi-e art in general, which deserves its own place among the major pictorial works of the world. More than just an art form, sumi-e is a way of being, thinking, and living. Our society is a way of demonstrating these concepts.
 
Goal: In addition, one of the society's primary goals is to assist in spreading the beauty and understanding of this unique art form and culture by exhibiting this exquisite art on an international level. Members' artwork will be shown all over the world.

Sumi-e by MGCruz

Sumi-e

Philodendron by Manuel Garcia de la Cruz

This sumi-e is one of my personal favorites by my artist friend Manuel Garcia de la Cruz. The stem of this plant dances with movement. The painting's composition moves your eye from corner to corner with delight and ease. Manuel is a member of the North American branch of the International Chinese Calligraphy Art and Ink Painting Society (ICCPS).  

Manuel was born in  Asturias, Northern Spain. For the last thirty years, he has lived in Denia, on the Mediterranean coast, where he has his workshop and studio. Manuel hashad many exhibitions locally and in Ibiza. Nature is a strong influence on his work, which centers around  seascapes, mountains, beaches and the countryside.   I am a great admirer of Manuel's sumi-e.  His paintings produce clean, bold brush strokes with brilliant light and color while addressing the spirit of his subject matter. He is an exquisitely talented artist and one I am honored to have in the North American branch of ICCPS. I am so pleased he decided to join the society.
Below is a slide show of some of Manuel's sumi-e. Turn on your volume for beautiful music!
