Interesting! Particularly as I feel the same way in many aspects. Over the past... lets say two years I have changed my course too. Even more so, after I was able to enjoy some of the training you mention at a newly founded academy in Bad Homburg some 2 years ago. They too pick up on the old methods and are quite successful!
I Still like fantastik art, but more in a way Marcel promotes it.. imaginary realism and such. And yes, that new contemporary and figurative is super interesting and I have already thought about talking to Monica about a slight "correction" of or "theme".
All very exciting. Planing to come to Vienna later this year. We definitely should have a beer together.. or two :-)
Cool! When roughly is later this year then?
I could feed you some information about New Contemporary and Figurative Art.
Marcel already travelled to Miami to check Art Basel Miami and had a first hand look at things. He noted that the New Contemporary has a place there, but did not see any interest in Imaginary Realism. Judging from his comments, Marcel doesn't seem interested in the Figurative New Contemporary.
Ah so things are still going to happen at Viechtach? =)
I don't have any particular date, but Karin's son only has another semester at the Uni there. I want to visit him during that time... most likely in fall. Excited to talk with you too!
I'd love to team up with you on this new path.. although I usually am on a bumpy trail to the side. But as I said... there has been this itch in me for something new for a while and this may just be it. And... often a (hi)story needs a missing link. It will be interesting for future generations to find out, who were these aquard folks swimming up stream in these times, when dilettantism ruled
OK, every once in a while I'll share with you things of interest that I come across.
When you have an idea abut Vienna, let me know. I will at some point by the end of the year travel to Australia. I have no set date yet.
Looking forward to see these news!
My trip will have to be within motorcycle season ;-)
So before the end of Autumn then.
