Preparing the last things for the next exhibition


I've made a few new series of small paintings. This is new for me... from the very beginning I made large paintings. I cannot help it, I just love 'big' art. I think this comes from the fact that I get overwhelmed every time again when I'm in front of a big piece of art, that I like, in a museum and I would like to get in to it... lose myself in it. On the other hand, this does not mean that I cannot get hit by the beauty of small art. It was really fun making these small paintings, and since I made series of them, they can be hung together... that makes big too!
Some of them will be shown at the new exhibition at Gallery ART-ist in Geel, Belgium that will start Friday May 1.

Videos about art


If you need background information on an artist, or you're just interested in art there's a new website you can visit. To me it looks like an artchannel, but not on tv, but on internet. It offers videos about art from sources including the MOMA (New York) LACMA (L.A.) and the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA). You can also watch videos about how an exhibition is installed in a museum. For example Marlene Dumas in the MOMA.
