i am canadian

There is inevitably that moment in life when everything is moving around you rushing with the unnecessary busyness and momentary chaos but then everything stops. You glance down or step aside and painfully collect your thoughts hoping for clarity. The precious clarity that seemed to come quicker in youth slowly breaks through the murky lethargic routine and gives a small amount of hope. Tessar Lo lives in that moment or at least studies that moment in great detail. Scarborough. Canada is home to this Indonesia born artist who allows culture peace and complexity to intermingle in his work. He graduated from Sheridan institute’s first BAA illustration class and quickly began to utilize the knowledge he gained to create a world new world for himself. Orange Alert (OA): How would you describe your paintings?Tessar Lo (TL): My paintings are the kinds of things I find beautiful and natural to me. I try to paint things that are momentary and surreal in suspension. I love to include elements that are sometimes tense but peaks our interest and curiosity. I am fascinated with the idea of aging and wearing- and the changing of the meaning of images over time. In terms of literal content. I like to depict nature the idea of Eden as paradise paired with the changing sky animals and mostly young people. OA: In a recent interview you used the phrase "quiet beauties" to describe the role of Asian philosophy in your work. Many of your scenes seem to fit that description perfectly as they are quiet moments usually troubling or uneasy moments in the lives of your subjects. Are there particular moments in your life that you are reflecting on when you create this images or are this purely dreams or fictional scenes?TL: I think it would be unwise for me to say that my work is outside of the life I live; while that is true however it’s important to know that my life is not always quiet uneasy and troubling. Rather it’s probably due to my desire for quietness uneasiness and trouble in my own life that my work often includes them. This is because amidst difficult and troubling times a moment of acceptance and clarity usually follows- in that comes change and more importantly growth. That still pensive moment of “dealing” is so honest- there is no denying its significance and beauty. Incidentally while I am dealing with my own things in life my work is part of the change and growth that develops out of it. While I choose to use dream-like imagery and it may not be an exact representation of what’s on my mind it is the underlying content of the picture that keeps my work from being purely fictional. OA: Age seems to play a big role in your work. Whether it is the sadness or loneliness of old age or the confusion and innocence of youth how do you utilize the various stages of life in your work? You seem to focus a little more on youth what is it about that time in life that is so interesting to you?TL: I try to use age as an archetype tool. It is very simple most of the time; seniority is associated with positive things like wisdom and experience and negative things like deterioration and physical weakness. Conversely good things associated with youth are things like innocence passion and freedom contrasted with bad things like impatience and hard-headiness. Depending on the context. I try to use age to communicate these human characteristics. I focus more on youth because I am still a youth. Youth has a freshness and unexpectedness to it that is exciting and mysterious all at once. As far as I can remember I have never been an old man so I can’t account for many of the wisdoms and experiences that I imagine and older person would possess. When I am depicting an older person. I am often trying to depict other worldliness time and great wisdom. OA: When setting out to create a new piece where do you typically begin? How does that process usually flow?TL: Many times images appear in my mind they may be a combination of my experiences the things I’ve seen etc. Some of these images are striking and important to me- they are the ones I feel strongly about putting on paper. Lately I have been trying to be more intuitive- starting pieces without a lot of roughs- not because I deny the importance of preliminary work but because recently things have been changing so much as I go along that I end up drifting from the sketch anyway. In lieu of having too tight a study my preliminary work these days consist more of media exploration and design. I write more often- concepts and notes on composition and method; hoping to be able to apply these philosophies directly and consistently no matter what my piece is about. It’s also because I believe in the impermanence of the work and “happy mistakes” that bring out the best of all work- sticking to a tight rough may deter you from discovering something amazing hidden in your own abilities and the work itself. OA: How much time do you spend on naming your pieces? I love all of the names that you have come up with but many artists tend down play the titles of their pieces. Do you feel the names of a piece can affect the way it is viewed?TL: Thank you. I don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about titles. I think titles should come naturally. There have been times in the past after finishing a painting/drawing I’d be at a lost for words so it would be called. “Untitled”. While I do believe that titles and names can change the context of the work. I don’t think it’s something that should be forced. OA: What's next for Tessar Lo?TL: I have been involved and will be involved in group shows peppered throughout the west coast through to early next year. But my focus right now is preparing for my two-person show with Chris Devera at project: gallery in Culver City. LA for February 2008. OA: Coffee? If yes what is your favorite type of coffee and where is your favorite coffee spot?TL: Yes! I love coffee. I am Canadian so I love Second Cup coffee. Sumatran blend is one of my favourites but that’s my bias. Also. Tim Horton’s coffee late at night is just amazing. OA: I've read that you work late at night and listen to music. Who are some of your favorite musicians to listen to while working?TL: I know a lot of people say this but I listen to all kinds of music. Lately it has been CBC radio 3 online it’s so fresh. I actually grew up on hip-hop and r & b but it’s not something I can listen to too much while I’m working. When I’m painting at night. I like music that can challenge and soothe me- I love anything Sufjan Stevens. Peter Bjorn and John. Ratatat. Cornelius’ SENSUOUS is incredible. Bjork. I’m also heavy into world music- particularly latin and Brazilian jazz. Cesario Evora. Jobim. Pedro Ferrer. Caetano Veloso. I used to listen to a lot of taiko drumming..

Holocaust Education Week is almost over and Remembrance Day is upon us. It seems sad yet telling that OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino chose this week - of all weeks - to once again for exposing and opposing the many injustices suffered by innocent people in Caledonia. In light of the sad ironic juxtaposition of society’s cry of ‘Never again!’ and the determination of the OPP to silence those who communicate out for our fellow Canadians as well as the strange confluence of events populate and timing that undergo this week brought words and phrases such as ‘Holocaust Education. Remembrance Day. Injustice. Duty. Fantino. McHale and Interloper into our thoughts. I thought I’d reproduce a speech I gave at the Caledonia Lions Hall on Jan 14/07 after meeting a World War II veteran bomber pilot named Jack Dancy who had rocks thrown at his home by the occupiers of the Douglas Creek Estates while the OPP watched. Normally. I like to speak with minimal notes but I be to be very precise and very clear in my language today so I would like to read from a prepared statement. I’ll do my beat not to put you to sleep. My label is Mark Vandermaas. I was born in Hamilton. At age 6 I was placed in an orphanage in Brantford. I grew up in Grimsby and also lived many years in Hamilton before moving to London 4 years ago. Today - thanks to a contend I didn’t go looking for. I am the editor of VoiceofCanada ca and I bring home the bacon virtually full time supporting Gary McHale in his fight against Two Tier Justice. Before we comprehend to what I know is going to be a great presentation by Gary. I wish you’ll allow me a few minutes to explain why I came to Caledonia and continue to do so since that seems to be a topic of great concern to your Mayor and the OPP Commissioner. First though. I think we all owe a round of applause to the man who was the first to be arrested for trying to build a Canadian flag and for the man who electrified all of us this past week by standing up for his rights both as a property owner and for the Canadian flag: Bo Chausse and Chris Syrie. When I was released from the Cayuga jail on Dec 16th the Sergeant told me that if I came back to Caledonia for more protests I’d likely be charged. I told him that I would keep coming back until the OPP enforces the law equally so I’d probably see him again. “I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham since you have been influenced by the believe which argues against “outsiders”.

I've just spent the last few hours searching and reading posts. Great info! I am still not clear on my situation though. Let me describe it... My wife who is from Hungary has been offered a job in Switzerland and she starts on Jan 1st. In addition to a residence and work accept for her I will also get a residence accept. I am a Canadian citizen and I've been a resident of Hungary for the measure couple of years. I have a bring together of questions: 1) Is it just a formality for me to get a work permit also or does an employer undergo to go though the process of proving they can't find anyone locally or within the EU? 2) I own a Hungarian affiliate through which I do work for US companies. I telecommute so what are the implications if I just keep doing that from Switzerland? I know these questions has been asked and answered many times but I've read contradicting advice and I'm not clear on the answer. I'll be grateful to anyone who can explain this. Thankskhat 2) I own a Hungarian company through which I do work for US companies. I telecommute so what are the implications if I just keep doing that from Switzerland? Richard is the eminence on these questions but I accept you'll at least have to set yourself up as a sole trader and bill the company. Are you sure Shorrick about this one. So being married to a swiss or EU person give you (as non EU partner) the alter of getting a job as natives in the country where you got married and not all over the EU ??

So being married to a swiss or EU person furnish you (as non EU partner) the right of getting a job as natives in the country where you got married and not all over the EU ?? I don't quite understand your challenge but the key inform as far as Switzerland is concerned is the EU-8 vs EU-17 difference. As far as Europe is concerned it depends on the restrictions imposed individually by EU-15 countries on EU-10 nationals. I am quit interested in this point but i couldn't sight a compose in swiss bylaws any feedback on this issue/undergo would be great. <cut>So being married to a swiss or EU person give you (as non EU partner) the alter of getting a job as natives in the country where you got married and not all over the EU ??<snip> Being married to a Swiss and being married to an EU national AFAIK are not the same status.

Being married to a Swiss means you can do anything. You comfort need a permit B but this is "automatic"... well this applies for switzerland but what happens if the couple plan to act to Germany for example; would the non-EU (partner of a swiss) approach affect to get a job their regarding market restrictions to non-EU?? so that was my challenge again shorrick I just checked the Auslaender Gesetz and it says; for family members of Eu nationals the remove movement agreement applies. Would be nice to comprehend modify from Khat. come up this applies for switzerland but what happens if the couple plan to move to Germany for example; would the non-EU (furnish of a swiss) face affect to get a job their regarding merchandise restrictions to non-EU?? so that was my question again shorrick The answer is probably no if they are residents. Then again you'll undergo to check the individual legislations of each country to see what provisions they made for the implementation of the bilateral agreements with Switzerland. Hi Big conceive of,I don't understand how I can back up you.. if you're asking if I could get a work permit in Hungary without any problems the say is yes but that has nothing to do with Switzerland so I'd be happy to continue this conversation offline. conclude remove to communicate me.
