Make up art for make up artist for 25 years

The anniversary party was a spectacular showcase of make up arti in its best form. It included imaginative body paints with magical hair constructions that made guests hold their breaths. It was easy to notice why Dany Sanz still is close to none when it comes to make up brilliance. “The show was as colourful as Dany herself.” Adds Laura Leppänen from VEEN Waters.

While the party was full of make up artists around the world the evening had much more to offer. Make up teams around the world were showcasing their respect by creating an integrated show with spectacular masterpieces. Teams had come from different countries including Korea and Finland and were gathered from Dany Sanz’s students. This created an interesting and free spirited atmosphere around the show and party in general. Every team gave the viewer a magical route to the world of make up art.

Visionary Dany Sanz

Dany Sanz started from theatre makeup and have since worked in various fields of fashion industry before starting her own brand Make Up For Ever in the 1980´s. There are few people who can create new brands and even less people who can create international super brands.

KOSHERFACE - A photographic exhibition by Frederic Aranda At theprintspace gallery, Shoreditch
 
Where there is art there is VEEN. While you enjoyt the full experience of art you also get the pleasure enhanced by the effervescent bubbles of VEEN water. The same pattern continues at the Kosherface exhibition held by Frederic Aranda in London UK.

 

KOSHERFACE

Kosher Face is not an exhibition about the Holocaust. It is an optimistic encounter with a fascinating section of Orthodox Judaism, presented through the eyes of a fashion portrait photographer. Whilst exploring the unseen life of modern-day Lubavitch Jews, Frederic Aranda invites viewers to discover a thoroughly updated, colourful vision of their unique world. For the very first time, rabbis, together with non-Jews dressed as rabbis are captured in modern aesthetic terms, highlighting the highly public, cross-cultural and relevant role of the Lubavitch movement in the 21st century.  
 
 
From the series Three Thousand Rabbis,  winner of an International Photography Award (USA) and a Paris Photo Prize (France), 2007
 
The Exhibition
 
Frederic Aranda presents a balanced account of his experience with the Lubavitch world. Whilst in his final year at Oxford University, Aranda rented a room in the household of the Lubavitch rabbi in Oxford. For a year, this room became a photographic studio, with rabbis and their families being photographed there on a daily basis. In the seven years since, Aranda has spent time amongst the Lubavitch community in Brooklyn, but also travelled to places as diverse as Tokyo, Milan, Paris and Berlin to explore the Lubavitch world and to define the kosher face of Judaism today.
 
The Photographer
 
Frederic Aranda was born in 1979 in Geneva. He took a place at Pembroke College, Oxford to study Japanese in 1998, whilst running the Oxford University Photographic Society. Two years after graduation, Aranda was shortlisted by The Times as the ‘Young Photographer of the Year 2005’. Frederic Aranda is a portrait photographer and a regular contributor to British and international editions of Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ, and for The Sunday Times STYLE magazine. He has worked with prominent figures in international politics, entertainment and fashion. Aranda has received photography awards and merits from the International Photography Awards (USA), the Paris Photo Prize (France), and the
Fujifilm Distinctions Awards (UK). He lives in London.

The donations were gathered through selling VEEN Art bottles exclusively at Harrods. The bottles appeared with the Kaj Stenvall painting, “Better than a cookie!” which was also donated to the children’s hospital in London. "This is a great opportunity for us to bring joy to so many children, doing what we do best," says Kaj Stenvall.

 

What is VEEN Art? 

 

VEEN Art is a concept featuring famous artists and designers bringing VEEN Water into their creations. The artist has full artistic integrity to complete the work. “We want to create awareness with the artists and raise money for good causes,” says Tomi Grönfors, MD of VEEN Waters Finland Oy. The first VEEN Art exhibition created 10.000 euros for children in Finnish Lapland.

 

 

”Better than a cookie!” by Kaj Stenvall

 

The painting features the duck familiar from Stenvall’s earlier works. Water is playing the leading role and is featured in three forms: in a glass, in the sea and in tears. The tears are there out of pure joy and enjoyment of sipping VEEN. It is hard to say whether the duck is laughing or crying for the water being so smooth.
