Currently I do not have new paintings to show as I am working at a couple of commissions and I cannot show at the moment. But the preparations for the live art event in Bogense at Galleri Knægt are in full swing and here I would like to share the official brochure of the event, which is entitled: Sprog, Toner og Billedsprog. In English it could be translated into: Language, Tones, and Visual Language; a name that well represents the essence of the event and I feel very flattered to have been invited to participate as visual artist, with my odd watercolours. Here you can find the local newspaper, which presents the whole festival, that is called Sprogense and includes a series of other events, including the one at Galleri Knægt: https://www.e-pages.dk/jfmadhoc/1645/
Currently I am warming up for the event, improvising with paint and quick wet-on-wet technique, but I am not so happy with the results, so I will show some later on ;) Thank you for stopping by Bertie xxx

So I am finally back to work and all the daily stuff. There is a new wind at the horizon, with new ideas and changes in my daily work as a researcher, as our department is going to be restructured. During the summer I took some time off, basically to think about how things are going, and actually I am becoming more interested in exploring sketches as a form of poetry and narrative, so I would like to develop further my artistic investigation on that front. I have been sketching in nature, at the beach and around in cities. On the other hand, I did not sell any work on my last exhibition in Filosoffen, but I received some nice commissions. The first commission I would like to mention is an invitation I received from a nice art gallery placed in Bogense, north of Fyn, to draw-paint live during a poetry and live music event and be paid for it! What's not to like? ;) The idea is to create an artistic performance, combining music, acting and live sketching, where painters will paint on the spot according to their emotional experience of the music and the acting. The event will be at Knægt Galleri in Bogense on the 17th of September from 2:30 to 4:30 pm and I am looking forward ;) The gallery is named Galleri Knægt and it has a good reputation in Denmark, so I was quite surprised to be invited. Here is the link to Galleri Knægt: https://galleriknaegt.dk/index.php/arrangementer/# And the link to the online brochure: https://www.e-pages.dk/jfmadhoc/1645/ Here are a few images from my sketching by the sea :) A dead leaf, hiding the appearance of a bird and a sketch of a stone resembling a sea creature in the current Thanks for Stopping by, I hope to seeing some of you in Bogense :)
