ARTWORK BY CLAUDIO PARENTELA
Claudio Parentela is a freelance illustrator, painter, photographer,
mail artist, cartoonist, and collagist. "The
inspiration behind my artworks are my dreams and especially
my nightmares...I use mostly black indian ink on paper, because
the black ink is perfect to draw my nightmares...I love heavy
contrasts, the strong feelings, and the strong emotions... in
these times my nightmares are many, and I need larger spaces
and larger sheets of paper to express and to draw my nightmares...

KING ARTHUR
"First
time I cried was when Arturo was a little boy and his village
is being raided and his mother is screaming and he sees the sword
in the stone and he grasps its handle … not for personal
glory or to get the girl but to save his mother’s life.."

CELESTIAL SILKS EXHIBITION
The Celestial Silks - Chinese Religious and Court Textiles exhibition
is on display at the Art Gallery of NSW until 24 Oct, 2004. "The
iconography and the standard of embroidery were far above anything
that was produced in the Western world. In this historic era precious
textiles plus labour-intensive and intricate human endeavour was
valued more highly than precious metal."
