"It is a privelege to witness viewers' reactions to Alush's once-hidden art. I've seen some giggle like children and others choke back tears. At his last exhibition, an elderly woman simply hugged him and whispered 'Thank you.'"

-Ricky Padro,
Art Agent

Me thene te drejten nuk kisha degjuar per kete piktor te madh shqiptar sepse ka kohe qe jam larguar nga Shqiperia. Shume rastesisht hasa ne faqen e tij ne internet. Punimet e tij me magjepsen me kombinimin fantastik te ngjyrave si dhe penelaten teper te qarte. Ftoj te gjithe dashamiresit e piktures te vizitojne faqen e tij:

http://www.alushshima.com/sold.html

Klikoni ne secilen nga pikturat per te pare punimet e ndryshme.


Penelate thjesht Fantastike.

[armando2001]

Shume nga pikturat e tij jane blere nga artiste te njohur te Hollivudid madje edhe nga ish presidenti Xhorxh Bush(senior).

Pikturat e tij shiten ne sekonda dhe cmimet e tyre rriten nga dita ne dite. Nje tregues i mire ky per cilesine dhe vleresimin e punimeve nderkohe qe konkurenca ne kete dege eshte ne majat e saj.

Pershendetje

Me vejn cudi qe nuk kishe degjuar per Alush Shimen Armando se me te vertete eshte nje nga artistet e kohes me te famshem shqiptar. Nuk e besoj se jam i vetmi qe sheh aq shume jete ne pikturat e tij. me pelqen sidomos teknika dhe kombinimi i ngjyrave qe ka krijuar edhe ne nje fare menyre me kujton Van Gogh-un.
Ky ishte opiniomi im, pak i shkurter por i qarte

Disa piktura te Alushit i kam pare ne origjinal, kllouni te siti eshte njera nga ato. Alushi ka profesionalizem ne punen e tij, ate çfare i mungon ne pergjithesi shqiptareve (jo vetem piktore). Duke qene i tille, ne shikim te pare duket sikur tek ai ka dhe me shume ART se tek te tjeret, por kjo veç ne shikim te pare dhe nga ata qe s'jane njohes te vertete te artit. Piktura e tij eshte dekorative, dmth shkon jo keq me mobiljet e nje dhome. Keto jane aresyet qe ai shitet jo pak ne krahasim me piktoret e tjere shqiptare. Fakti qe tabllote e tij blihen nga aktore, bile dhe Bushi, nuk eshte megjithate tregues qe puna e tij ka "vlere" me teper se sa dekorimi i nje dhome, per te cilen folem me lart.

Per mendimin tim piktures se Allushit i mungon madheshtia, ajo qe shihet tek ARTI i vertete, tek "rilindja italiane" pershembell, ose tek "francezet" e shekullit te kaluar.
Kjo vjen ngaqe piktura e tij eshte pa "pretendim", perveçse atij qe folem, pra dekorimit te nje dhome, mnjf te qenurit " pikture familjare".

Mungesa e Temes dhe njefare mesazhi, ben qe piktura e tij te jete me pa "vlere" se Arti i Realizmit Socialist, te piktoreve me te mire shqiptare te epokes. Sepse piktura e tij te pakten deri me sot, nuk eshte MUZEALE.

A+,

[armando2001]

Po aq i habitur sa ty jam edhe vete qe nuk kisha degjuar me pare por kam rreth 8 vjet larg Shqiperise dhe jo gjithnje ka qene e mundur te ndjek evenimentet artistike shqipetare.

Me te vertet nje piktor qe te kujton Van Gogun me shpalosjen e nje koloriti plot jete.

[Static-X]

Ornament, me te vertete rilindja jo vetem ajo italiane por edhe ajo nordike ka madheshtine e vete, por ne kete periudhe kohe qe ne po jetojme, do ishte pak e veshtire te krijoheshin ato lloj pikturash. jam dakort me ty qe jane madheshtore nga te gjitha anat , si ajo tematike ashtu edhe ajo profesionale, thjsht ama nqs Alushi do ndermirrte ate iniciative te pershaste artin e vet bazuar ne artin e rilindjes do quhej nje "piktor me shume" edhe asgje me teper. Mos harro qe teknologjia ka ndikur dukshem ne art edhe ne vitin 2002 qe jemi ne ato lloj pikturash do ishin thjesht 'Tregim profesionalizmi'.
Ky ishte opinioni im
respekt Henri

Madheshtia nuk eshte lloj dhe as varet nga ai. Kulla Eifel ne Paris eshte nje konstruksion modern, kjo se pengon te jete madheshtor po aq sa muri kinez dhe po aq popullor sa ai. Picasso gjithashtu eshte modern, me moderni nga piktoret, kjo se pengon pikturen e tij te jete madheshtore e ne te njejten kohe muzeale.
Me qe jam tek Pikaso po tregoj nje ngjarje ; Pikasos ju dha leje ti varte disa nga tabllote e tija ne Louver prane mjeshtrave te tjere te medhenj Tician, Velaskes, e kompani, pasi ndenji nje dite te plote duke i kqyre ai tha : Jane e njejta gje.
Ne çfare ishte ngjashmeria midis tyre, ne stil, ngjyra, teknike, tematike, JO ! Ngjashmeria ishte ne fryme, ne emocion, ne sensibilitet, ne force, mnjf ne jeten qe reflektohej ne to, ishte ne ate qe quhet GRANDEUR , pra MADHESHTI.
Ngjashmeria e gjithe mjeshterve te medhenj, eshte tek qellimi qe ata kane ne ART, ne veprat e tyre shihet perpjekja titanike per zoterimin e subjektit, qe ata kurre nuk e nenshtrojne ndoshta nga frika mos e vrasin ate. Ata jane skllever te ARTIT te tyre.

Besoj s’ke kuptuar gje, aq me mire, sepse edhe ilaçet kur jane me teprice mund te vrasin.

[Static-X]

"Alush suffered a lot during those times, but he absolutely refused to participate in the official exhibitions of Socialist Realist Art. I guess he considered it a type of prostitution."

Jam dakort me ate qe thua per punen e artit edhe ckupton ti me madheshti, por nuk e di pse njerezit duan qe cdo artist ose piktor te ndryshoje duke u bere si dikush tjeter vetem se ate dikushin te tjeret e pelqejne, per kete sjam aspak dakort, nuk e di nese me kuptove apo jo por per mua tematika ne piktura e Shimes me duket mese e qarte duke nenkuptuar qetesimin shpirteror te artistit. Persa i perket thensies se Pikasos i bie qe cdo krijimtari te jete e njejte, duke reflektuar Emocionin, frymen edhe sensibilitetin, vete natyra edhe bota eshte Madheshti.
