Έκθεση Μπονσάι στο σπίτι του Έλβις Πρίσλεϊ

Μπορεί να το θυμάστε ως το αγαπημένο hobby του δασκάλου του καράτε, Μιγιάκι στο Καράτε Κιντ (μπορεί και όχι…). Πάντως, η τέχνη του Mπονσάι πηγαίνει χιλιάδες χρόνια πίσω. Προερχόμενη από την Κίνα, που έγινε παράδοση στην Ιαπωνία, απέκτησε παγκόσμια αναγνώριση μόνο τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες.

Είναι τα πιο ευαίσθητα δέντρα που χρειάζονται σχολαστική φροντίδα και ιδιαίτερη αφοσίωση.

Το εν λόγω εντυπωσιακό δέντρο κοσμεί την πρώην κατοικία του Elvis Presley στο LA με την θέα που κόβει την ανάσα και από απλά φυτά έχουν μετατραπεί σε έργα τέχνης.

Οι υπαίτιοι για αυτό το project είναι  η gallery Future Perfect η οποία κάλεσε κεραμιστές να μεταποιήσει την ιαπωνική αυτή παράδοση σε μία σύγχρονη τέχνη που θα μπορέσει να προσαρμοστεί με το σύγχρονο αυτό περιβάλλον.

Η πρώην κατοικία του βασιλιά του ροκ εν ρολ αποτέλεσε ιδανικό χώρο για να εκτεθεί αυτό το νέο πρότζεκτ της Future Perfect που δέχτηκε την πρόκληση να συνδέσει το παρελθόν με το παρόν σε αυτόν τον ιστορικό χώρο.

Thank you to @thefutureperfect for welcoming us to their incredible #casaperfect experience. Transcendent, restorative, inspiring, beautiful and escapist (in the best way possible). In particular, the bonsai trees in the handmade vessels of @jcrossstudio should not be missed.

#juniper offers the most obvious opportunities to deviate and explore aesthetics in #bonsai. This little #rockymountain juniper plays proportions in a way few trees at #Mirai do and we love it for that. Pot by Tomas Gramming. #ifitaintbrokedontfixit #americanbonsai #miraistyle

Interesting to consider #natural as avant- garde but our desire to override the natural often times means showing restraint is the artistic decision. #bonsai has so many layers and choices. Each artist forms their approach based on how these situations are handled. #letitbe #miraistyle #juniper #rockymountains

There’s few features of a #juniper #bonsai that are more seductive than the ribbons of deadwood that form over centuries of life and death. One of #mirai ‘s most dramatic #rockymountain junipers. #miraistyle

Spring is a treasured season for bonsai practitioners. Something you long for in the dead of winter, prepare for as you stock up supplies. And when it comes, it’s like a tidal wave. . You buckle in for a constant race against your trees growth, trying to get all your pruning, pinching, fertilizing, tinkering in at the right moments. Broadleaf Evergreens are some of our most prized trees for bonsai. Managing their growth properly is vital. . Join us Live tonight to make a plan for handling broadleaf evergreen growth in this spring season. Understand how to treat trees in development versus refinement, feel confident in your approach to furthering your goals for the tree. We go Live at 6pm PDT – link in bio. #buildyourskills #evergreen #bonsai #mirailive
