Up there again

 

 

Welcome everybody!

Work in progress with the help of all who pass by and tell me how to spell "Welcome" in other languages.

Grillon in his cabin!

The "Poya" in process received some more followers,
and the bathroom with the "indian shower" was marked with a lotus flower.

(poya = french word for "ascent to the mountains" with the animals like cows, goats, donkeys, etc.)

 

 The entrance to the stable for those who like to sleep in the hay:

Next is the stable of the goats:

Some of the new paintings shown at the Jolimai

Maik, the horse of a friend inspired me to bring in some "stable" into the clean gallery room.

"Wieland" another work on jute like the painting on the original bag of grondnuts

Bienvenus "Au Joli Mois de Mai" à Bienne!

 There will be a Vernissage nearly every evening in the month of Mai and the beginning of June
in the "old crown" and the "Voirie" in the old town of Biel. The event is organized by Visarte Biel/Bienne.

The beautiful invitation card was made by Jérôme Lanon who will expose on Mai 31,
accompanied by a bass solo concert from Jan Buchholz.

I will expose my latest paintings on thuresday the 4th of June in the "old crown", on the same day like Susan Mezquita, who will be showing her latest works around the corner in the "Voirie" - 
¡Welcome everybody!!

Ready for the new season

 I painted Grillon's car on demand during the wintertime, now that spring has come it is ready for the new season.
He will open the caban around the 1st of Mai (depending on the weather). Welcome everybody to that crazy place at les petits lacs!
On the front a friend artist Anne Catherine Roth painted the flying dog from "The Neverending Story".
On the other Side of the car she painted the rainbow and the pink floyd prisma, too.

Salon des refuses

The gallery owners had the idea of inviting all the artists who didn't make it to the christmas exhibition of the "cantonale berne jura" to have an alternative exhibition place just next to one of the participating museums - the centre pasquart in Biel. They painted this suiting entrance and made a very good job in finding a good match, hanging all kinds of paintings in different stiles:

The "People in the Ricefields" and the "Indian Palette" are amog all the others. The two suitcases in the back are from Susan Mézquita who will expose on the same day as me in the joli mois de may 2015!

* Surprising Vernissage *

  

Welcome in the Art-Etage!

Tomorrow saturday 6th of December at 5 pm

I participate with one painting

in the "Salon des refusés"

Daraus Heraus

Just finished this abstract painting last week - it comes out of an drawing experiment in common with Pen:

We had a working session this year in July, preparing for a chain of little video sketches! (To be realized, as soon as Pen returns from her artist residency in Colorado.)

Back in Grillon's Cabin - Welcome anytime!

Grillon brought back these arabic words while driving through Iran and Pakistan to reach India.

Most colours withstood the winter, except the "Allahu Akbar" painting with casein tempera on cement. So i gave it a new coating of egg tempera. Let's see if it survives till next summer.

Everybody is invited to participate in the Poya* painting. It's eihter possible to add an animal painted by yourself (with or without help) or giving me the order to paint it. The alpaca named Shakespeare is still missing. It will hopefully be finished next year.

*Poya: french for cows, goats and other farm animals that climb up to the alps in a row to remain during the summertime and eat good herbs.

This summer they built up two Yourts

This is one of the two yourts, right next to the cabin. 

It is dedicated to the Vacherin Fribourgeois who supported this purchase.

The tipical "fribourgese" cows look like goats though, i think i was inspired by the six goats that walked around... :-)
