Artist, Elizabeth Romhild, Exhibits at La Lanta Fine Art – Bangkok

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

mackiage

La Lanta Fine Art is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition by a celebrated female artist, Elizabeth Romhild.
In this exhibition, Romhild turns her gaze away from the external subject of her past work and focuses her attention to the inspiring calls within herself.  Romhild has come full circle in her artistic journey, returning from finding artistic fulfillment in the world beyond to searching within her own heart for answers.
A parallel thought to the proverbial “windows to the soul,” Romhild gazes back into herself.  These eyes, whether open in contemplation or closed in meditation, are the mirrors in which the observer can see their own soul reflected.
In the exhibition “As Eye Am,” Romhild challenges herself by exploring new palettes of subdued oil while teasing eroticism with varying degrees of abstraction.  In her long artistic career, Romhild continues to defy her boundaries with body of works that reflects her quest in self discovery.
Please join us to meet the artist and view the works in person.

Death of a Chef, Bernard Loiseau of La Côte d’Or – France

The changing landscape of French cooking.

Poularde Alexandre Dumaine, a two-hundred-and-sixty-seven-dollar chicken offered at La Côte d’Or, Bernard Loiseau’s gastronomic temple in Burgundy, is filled with julienned leeks and carrots, lightly basted and seasoned with salt and pepper, and baked in an earthenware pot. Truffles inserted under the skin give the bird an earthy flavor, and the meat is tender and pungent. Early on the afternoon of February 24th, Loiseau watched his team of a dozen chefs prepare the poularde for two American chefs who were completing internships in France. After the dish was served, he went home for a siesta. Sometime later that day, he shot himself in the mouth with a hunting rifle. He was fifty-two.
