I’m off to the Boom Festival next August in Portugal to exhibit with other Visionary artists. This August 3-9th. marks the 6th. incarnation of the Boom Festival, a massive global trance culture gathering. For the third time at the Boom Festival, the Liminal Village returns presenting the Vision Gallery.
After all of this time getting to know Delvin over email and Skype chat sessions, I would finally get to meet him face to face. He was making his way to England to meet with Brigid Marlin of the Society for the Art of Imagination (AOI) to discuss assisting them with their Inscape magazine. I was very happy to offer him a place to stay in my studio while on his travels.
I am very pleased to announce my inclusion in the exhibition: Fantasmus Presents the Society for the Art of Imagination, 13th July – 30th August. I will be exhibiting my artwork titled “Manifest”.
A social evening at the opening of Chet Zar’s exhibition at Strychnin Gallery London. Strychnin Gallery has published a catalogue of his artwork.
My good friend Peter Gric has released a catalogue of 55 paintings from 1990 to 2008. I was very honoured that he sent me a copy of his catalogue. We had been discussing Print on Demand (POD) as an option for getting our artwork in to print
Somewhere between imagination and Berlin lies a special place called Zozoville. The doorway to this land of oddball under the bed monsters, devils and dysfunctionally cute can be found at Mainzer Strasse 21, Friedrichshain, Berlin.
To our good fortune, the IFAA exhibition had been planned to coincide with the cherry blossom season. The exhibition was situated in one of the popular quarters of Kyoto at the Dohjidai Gallery.
All great adventures involve something not going to plan, and so it was on the very first day as I set out for the IFAA exhibition in Japan.
Otto Rapp has writing an essay about, “The Vienna School of Fantastic Realism”. This is by far the most succinct and informative writing I have read yet on the Vienna School.
The day draws near when I fly to Japan with Luigi La Sparenza and Anja Brinkmann, where Luigi and I will be participating in the International Fantastic Art Association annual group exhibition. I feel honoured that the director Shoji Tanaka has extended this wonderful invitation to us.
Like most artists, I dream of seeing my artwork in print and better still that being a book. With the advent of digital printing, it became viable to do short print runs.
I recently visited Japanese artist Shinji Himeno in Berlin. It was a great surprise to discover him there after I had lived there for three years, never knowing he existed. I wonder who else is hidden there.
When you squeeze that black paint from the tube, have you assumed that is the limit of blackness? Well apparently it is not so black after all. Standard black paint still reflects about 5 -10% of the light that falls…
