Urban bonsaïs

Hello, here's a little exhibition we did in Paris this week-end with the "Paname bonsaï club"
The bonsaï are not kokufus, but the environnement is original, i like the mix of the background and the trees... ...urban bonsaïs !

Thats such a unique modern way to have a display of bonsai trees. I like it alot, did they have to stop all the trains from running? Your elm composition "stuck by lighting" goes great with this theme.

congratulations!

lovely venue.
watch out for the train we are not yet done with your literati, be sure to save it first when you hear the coming train.
your trees are looking good too. its about loving your tree:)

regards,

What a great idea! I hope this sparks other odd ideas for show venues.

And the trees aren't at all bad, either.

Well done!

very good idea for display bonsai but I think, the display and tables look not work together with this modern area. I like the theme that I understand as it mean modern and newblood bonsai lover, my opinion are... all elements will work well together or not?, if this display table has made from same meterial as in the area?. maybe brick, old wood table, railway sleeper or the rusty metal that work well with railway metal.

Hello thanks for your comments.

I think that there's a lot of poetry on those disused railroads.

Pongsatorn, you're right, it could be more impressive with industrial stands, old metal boxes or industrial elements with rust...

We'll think of it for next year.

Duplicate the set of the Blade Runner movie

Maybe one of the trees could be a Banksy-a?

Joking apart, I rather like the concept. Pongsatorn's suggestion for tables and other stands from similar materials would be a great addition.

It does rather beg the question about what pots would be suitable too.

Nice thinking outside the box. Here's a couple of suggestions under the vein of continuous improvment. Such an idea would really need to abandon the traditional Asian display concept. However some more artistic considerations could make the display really pop. For example, I would consider cutting down the weeds in the back ground in front of the graffitti as they really conflict with viewing the trees unless you want to make them more integrated with the trees which could be very different.
The idea about different type of stands is also good. The pot selection needs to be carefully thought too but its hard to change pots for a single show. Some of those Mateusz Grobelny pots from Poland would work here. And since you have plenty of room consider wider spacing between trees to give them more visual importance and try not to put a tree directly behnind another in the same view.

Keep innovating and having fun.

I think the pot are not big problem as many pot come in earth tone color, for color or glaze pot are not big problem also as we already have more color match on graffitti color background. only my opinion
