Every artist undresses his subject, whether human or still life. It is his business to find essences in surfaces, and what more attractive and challenging surface than the skin around a soul? ~Richard Corliss~

"Petite" Exhibition scheduled for June/July

It's been a while since I've posted someting...so just to let you know: The next exhibition will be held during the World Cup (are we allowed to even say the name without being fined by Fifa?).

It's called "Petite". All artists are welcome to submit works, only condition being that the canvas be no bigger than 20x20x4.5 cm. Your works should reach us first week of June, but before you send it, email me pictures of the works. Artists and photographers all welcome. Let's hope we can convince some of the overseas visitors to buy our art! Hopefully the small size will encourage them to purchase it and pop it in their hand luggage. We will also have a jewellery designer showing her designs and sensual greeting cards by photographer Branden Hart.

Personally, I have played around with faces and leaves/flowers. I thought to show that it does not take a naked body to show sensuality. It seems the subject is sometimes misunderstood.


"Autumn Creation" Oil on canvas 20x20cm (btw this was my first attempt at painting a black lady)
