Fantastic Visions - Kultschule, Berlin 2010

2010 starts with the first group exhibition project for Fantastic Visions. I will be exhibiting my artwork with my good friends Dennis Konstantin and Micha Colory Krebs at the Lichtenberger Kultschule in Berlin. We will be exhibiting a selection of our paintings.

Having looked at the Fantastic Visionary exhibition projects taking place in other corners of the world and the dearth of opportunities locally, it was often discussed how something could also be done in Berlin. Finally this was acted upon, and now the momentum exists to continue this with further exhibitions in 2010 and beyond.

Recognizing a synergy in our works and our relative close proximities, it makes for an easy step for us to come together and mount this group show. The exhibition is working under the title of the Fantastic Visions project that I recently launched.

On display will also be the first Fantastic Visions printed publication that I designed and edited, a catalogue of artwork from Dennis, Micha and myself.

We will also be offering canvas prints of any of the artwork in the exhibition.

You’re invited, so hope to see you there.

On Friday the 13th, I attended Strychnin Gallery‘s opening for the Magistrates exhibition. This is a video I shot and edited for my Fantastic Visions project. I also had the chance to catch up with Tim Roosen again who had driven a long way from Belgium to Berlin.

Magistrates features over 20 internationally renowned artists. Works in this show range from a variety of different media such as painting, etching, digital painting, photography and sculpture, making for an exhibition featuring many unique artistic positions from pop surrealism to fantastic art, special effects to lowbrow, pop art to urban art.

IFAA – Exposition L’art fantastique Paris 2009

This Sunday, Anja Brinkmann and I will be flying out to Paris to once again meet with our Japanese friends that I exhibited with last year in Kyoto. We have both been invited to exhibit in Paris with the IFAA.

The International Fantastic Art Association (IFAA) is an artist group dedicated to bringing together and gaining more exposure for Japanese Fantastic Artists. The group was founded by the artist Shoji Tanaka and has so far exhibited in Kyoto and Tokyo with international guest artists.

This exhibition is the first outside of Japan with guest artists from Australia, France and Germany included. The IFAA intends this to be the first of many exhibitions abroad for their group. The exhibition is right in the heart of Paris, at the Association Culturelle Franco-Japonaise de Tenri, which is only a few blocks away from the Louvre Museum.

This is my first trip to Paris, a city that has been long on my list of places to go. Anja and I are both excited about seeing our Japanese friends again. It will be also an opportunity to meet some new faces, such as French artist Hugues Gillet who exhibited with the IFAA earlier this year in Kyoto and will do so again in Paris. If we’re lucky, we should also see few other people we know visit us at the exhibition.
