Fresh New Website!

A new summer, a new look! (it doesn't always have to start in the spring).
According to my wishes my website has been completely redesigned by Artishox Media.
I think it's very important to have a clear site which is easy to handle for the viewer.
Since I don't want to make a catalogue of my website, one can only find a small selection of recent work on it.
It's just to give you an impression. In my opinion art should be experienced in real life, so one can immerse in it.
So if you like what you see, you can visit one of the galleries I work with permanently (CONTACT-button), to meet with the paintings for real.
Of course you can also contact me directly if you want more information.

The launch of CALVET - the documentary

http://artblahblah.com/?p=1745 <-Here you can read the beautiful review on the launch of the documentary by Dominic Allan about the life of my fellow artist Jean Marc Calvet. Soundtrack made by Edith Progue (breathtakingly, goose bumps giving). The review is written by Marina Hadley. She is one of the 2 gallery directors of the gallery I work with in New York City, Monkdogz Urban Art. 

I'm getting really impatient now.... I just have to see the movie. The trailer is not enough!... If you do want to know more about it, you can check this link as well: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/video/2011/jun/10/sheffield-doc-fest-jean-marc-calvet?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3486
