You will always be in my heart

On Saturday 7 November at 2.10 pm Paris time my beloved Partner Nitro Fireguard passed away.
Although I knew this was inevitable, it still was a shock. After all nobody wants to loose a loved one. The only redeeming thought is Nitro doesn't have to suffer these horrible pains anymore.

Nitro and I, we had 4 wonderful years together in Second Life. 

It all started when we met at the installation 'The Path' on 17 October 2011.
We flirted, fooled around, got partnered on Valentines day 2012 and started a gallery. 

We both worked very hard in/for the gallery, which we enjoyed a lot.
How bizarre that eggszackily 4 years later, even on the same day, Nitro made his own 3D mesh sculpture installation 'The Paths of Life', which opened on 17 October. 

I am truly happy he could be present at this opening party, enjoying the good spirit and the many artist friends attending that evening. It was his goodbye to SL.

Nitro loved art, he was a very creative person, always had been in RL and SL. Over the years his 3D mesh sculptures were getting better and better, and he gained name as a sculptor.
Most of his sculptures and installations (like the Maze) were shown at Nitroglobus.

He exhibited his works alone or with others (who doesn't remember the exhibition 'Hidden Faces' he did together with Mistero Hifeng in January 2013).
Last but certainly not least, there were his sculptures in the main hall of Nitroglobus, as he always 'fitted' the gallery to the theme of the exhibitions by guest artists. That's what made Nitroglobus gallery a unique place.
So unreal to know this will never happen again. 

Second Life is empty without him and his always loving care for me. Now that you are gone sweetie I realize more and more how dear you were to me my soulmate!
Gros bisous mon cheri, may you rest in peace.

You will always be in my heart!

'What If' by Senna, MM & Nitro @ Nitroglobus gallery

poster for the exhibition 'What If', made by MM (Mysterr)

Nitro and I are proud to present the work of the talented MM (Mysterr) and famous photographer Senna Coronet, in our gallery.

Senna is well known and respected by the entire SL art world for his high quality awesome photography.  For MM this is her first exhibition. 

We love both their work, which is so full of expression and emotions, something that's not easy to capture in Second Life. 

A sincere thank you to both the artists, whose work we think fits so well together because both artists play with light, shadows and emotions.

For this exhibition 'What If' Nitro created an installation of mesh sculpture groups of people walking a path. There are many paths one can choose from: the regular path, and the more difficult, windy and less traveled ones: it's a choice.

The regular path shows people walking the path of life, getting children, growing old and ends with Sisyphus rolling his stone up the hill, a heavy task.

The various windy paths lead to different endings; one brings you to angels, the others to demons.

 'What If' you would have chosen the other path instead of the path you walked in life?

You'll never know.

Don't miss it. Here's your taxi to our gallery

In the main hall of Nitroglobus gallery we still have the work of famous machinima artist Tutsy NAvArAthnA and the awesome mesh sculptures my partner Nitro, made especially for this exhibition 'Serie Noire'. 
In case you didn't have time to visit yet, here's your taxi to Nitroglobus gallery.

E-Motions exhibition by Yoon & miumiumiu at Nitroglobus gallery

We did it, we changed exhibitions at Nitroglobus gallery.
We say goodbye to 'Body' by Paola Mills and welcome 'E-motions' by Yoon (Toyono) & miu miu miu (Miumiumiusecond).

For Yoon and miu miu miu this is the first time in their SL life they exhibit their work in a gallery, although they both are active in Flickr and/or Facebook. However, until now those platforms were more or less the only ones they used to express themselves with images.

E-MOTIONS:The title refers to how we as humans always are being moved by emotions. They literally cause 'motion' in our lives. They make us go forward, backward, up and down or move in endless circles.

Miu and Yoon interpreted the theme of E-motions in their own personal way. Yoon's work is very personal. Her expression can be called conceptual with a fixed idea about what had to be expressed and in what context. Miu on the other hand is expressing her avi in several moving images, some hard, some tender. Miu calls her approach an impulsive one, meaning she will do a shoot without a prepared idea how it should become.

And of course Nitro made awesome sculptures for this exhibition as he always does.

E-Motions will be on the walls of Nitroglobus gallery for some time and all are welcome to visit. Here's your taxi: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondl…/Costa%20Blanco/…/117/771

'Wish you a Cold Xmess'

poster made by Cold Frog

NEW exhibition at Nitroglobus gallery called 'Wish you a Cold Xmess' by the artist Cold Frog.

Soo proud to have her at our gallery again. 

This time with a theme that's rather heavy but soooo beautiful and right from her heart. 

Death and suicide are major topics in this present exhibition, although Cold added some 'Xmess ones' too to make it less heavy.

However, the burden of life in general is for Cold a major topic in RL so she is true to herself and expresses her feelings. Her SL artwork shows the real Cold. 

Her motto 'the Unbearable Darkness of Being' 

Humor is very important to her too and you can find that element in her work as well as in the avatars she chooses to wear.

Nitro made truly awesome mesh sculptures for this exhibition; rendeer, moving angel children and more. 

Worthwhile visiting for sure!
