Comments on: Robson Cezar’s Wooden Houses From Whitechapel https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/04/robson-cezars-wooden-houses-from-whitechapel/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 04 Dec 2021 13:59:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Jill Wilson https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/04/robson-cezars-wooden-houses-from-whitechapel/#comment-1439784 Sat, 04 Dec 2021 13:59:06 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=189761#comment-1439784 Yes – another inspired bit of recycling art work by Robson! These are charming and would make great individual Christmas decorations.

And grouped together they look fab, and remind me of the Gingerbread City which I saw at the V & A a couple of years ago.

Looking forward to seeing them at the jamboree…

Seriously. The silhouette man! The Polish folk art! The amazing artists! The toy theatre! And now this truly stunning array of heartfelt houses. I’m limp with admiration for all of these gifted makers.

I so appreciate the idea/intent behind this artist’s work — the houses radiate with the joy of
re-purposing, transforming something quite humble and functional into something FULL of spirit. I long to see the collective grouping of houses, lit from within, arranged under a holiday tree. For me — more is more!

Off to buy our holiday tree today, and saluting all the makers and artists.

Beautifully done. And beautifully photographed. A lovely true Christmas story.

How very delightful. Lighting up the breakfast hour on this dark day almost more than the candles around the house. C

I particularly like the single width, 3-storey house. Well done that man.

I really want to purchase one of Robson Cezar’s Wooden East End Houses! — I think the idea and its conversion is brilliant.

Love & Peace

Here in the U.S. and also in other art galleries that I have visited abroad, people buy cases of stuff from China, add a few dabs of paint or other embellishments, and sell the result as their own work. Shoppers should really look closely at what they are buying. If the basic structure is identical in several pieces and too perfect, you can suspect that the item was not hand made at all. It will lack the beauty and feel of a hand made item. So, thank you, Mr. Cezar, for staying close to the joyous experience of creating hand made items and shopping for them at a lovely holiday bazaar.

While I live in the U.S., I do wish so much that I could be at the Bloomsbury Jamboree! Maybe one year soon.
