DENMARK is a Belgian artist whose real name is Marc Robbroeckx.
I do love his work.  First saw it many years ago in Antwerp at a time I didn't make pictures so I don't have anything to show from back then.  Such a pity, it was a great soloshow.
Now we just got the last day of his show at Museum M in Leuven, Belgium... only six works exhibited here.

It inspired me, so off I went to buy a sharp scalpel... dissecting old magazines... wondering what will 'pop out'.

Annette Besgen & François du Plessis

"Pas de deux"
galerie freitag 18.30
03.09.2010 - 23.10.2010

I am somewhat addicted to shadows, I'll stop regularly to try to capture these ever changing wondrous creatures with my tiny camera.  Apparently I'm not the only one with this addiction.

Painter Annette Besgen shows a nice selection of oil paintings with shadows in the star role.

François du Plessis exhibits his latest creations made from ART magazines and books.

Maria Bussmann at Galerie Ernst Hilger

From a distance one can't tell what these little things are on the wall, but once I got closer I was happily surprised.  Small paper sculptures picture different scenes like waterfalls, vineyards, lakes, roads and so much more.  I really enjoyed discovering this.

Different work from this artist in the downstairs exhibition space.

I was not the only one taking pictures, but this is not my equipment, my camera comes in another category.

More Vienna the next days (and in the previous posts). The photoshop managed to retrieve some of the lost pictures from my camera.

I Medici - A Renaissance in paper

A Dutch friend invited us to an exhibition we hadn't heard of.  It was not quite the event I would have noticed in the announcements, but I'm very glad we saw it. 

Isabelle de Borchgrave causes wonderment at the transformation of a simple sheet of white paper.  Through the magic of trompe l'oeil she walks us through history meeting one of the most prestigious families in Italian history: the Medici. 

Extraordinary craftsmanship with stunning details.

I was so intrigued by the details - even the heavy jewelry and delicate lace is made from paper and ultra thin slices of corrugated cardboard - that I actually forgot to capture the full costumes, some 30 in total.

Encore une Fois / Once Again

Fascinating, delicate little sculptures made of matchboxes, cardboard rolls and paper at the Galerie Luz.

I did not find a website for the Galerie Luz (there is none mentionned on the business card), nor for the artist Elisabeth Geraghty. Looking for more information I found this site about the Belgo buildng. If you want to stay tuned on ongoing exhibitions have a look here : http://www.bettinaforget.com/TheBelgoReport/
