Gallery l’Entrepôt

We believe the true purpose of an Art Gallery should be to have the courage to sponsor and provide encouragement to aspiring young artists, who show the creativity and determination to define the future of art.

We aim to exhibit artists from all disciplines who together demonstrate and testify to the universality of art :”Art without Frontiers”.The gallery aims to mix fine arts with a wide range of artistic expression such as: books lau nches, concerts, debates, conferences,p ublications…

Daniel Boeri,owner aims to encourage creative originality from any artistic background providing an unusual integrative approach to the arts.As an experienced Organizational Consultant and Gallery presenter, Daniel Boeri was interested in providing a platform for the best of young artists, visiting numerous studios and workshops and seeing the quality of art produced, gave him the idea of establishing his own art gallery to give life to his visions.

To give prominence to emerging artists, in 2013 he launched a competition for artists called: “l’Open des artistes de Monaco”. The public vote on the work submitted and the winning artists are offered an individual exhibition.For 2014, l’Open des artistes de Monaco competition is entitled “The Lost Paradise” and has generated more than 130 registrations from both local ans international artists.

The Art gallery organizes a variety of cultural events throughout the year including lectures, concerts,conferences,publishing and live performances.

The Art gallery l’Entrepôt has now mounted over forty exhibitions.

Jongerius Restorations

Jongerius Restorations (Antique Clocks)

The first watches were made over 500 years ago in the workshops of blacksmiths. Later came the specialized workshops.

The watchmakers worked with the resources and the circumstances of that time.

When the clock maker from now try to work within this and he or she can combine with science, documentation and tools of the modern time then we have the basis for a high quality restoration.

Our workshop is equipped for repair and restoration of mechanical properties, especially antique clocks and barometers.

Damen Restorations

Damen Restauratie is your warranty for craftmanship concerning the restauration and conservation of paintings and sculptures, since 1965.

Conservation concerns about all treatments to avoid degradation, but to maintain and protect the art object.

Restauration is about all processes to return the art piece to the initial concept of the artist.For this we will define the causes of damage in the best possible way; for ex: water damage, a rip caused by a trap, a fissure by degradation of the canvas, moldiness, woodworm, loosing of the ground, dirt and dust, older restaurations, old varnishes, nicotine, ...

The most important actions are: removing old varnishes and dirt, strengthen the cloth, removing old restaurations, fixing pictural layer, treating woodworm, ... We always respect the rules of reversibility for all we add.

Like this hundreds of art pieces have passed our hands .

Maria Nelissen

Maria Nelissen's art is versatile and multifaceted: bronze statues, portraits and whole human figures, aquarelles, model-drawings, collages, paste-ups and acryl-painting, which all bear the stamp of her creative personality.

Her bronze sculptures are created in wax in accordance with the lost wax-technique. Slim figures, portraits and bas-relief portraits based on a live model, emphasizing the resemblance of the person.

Forover 15 years Maria Nelissen is creating a drawing-art of looking and feeling, with her skilled hand as a flexible medium a Trinity of the Eye, the Heart and the Hand.

Her Eye is always coloured bij the Heart; she enters into her surroundings, she actually feels what is going on and she experiences it after the fashion.

She is acquainted whit the secret of the Harmony of Colours, that she reproduces transparently and spontaneously.

Filip Firlefijn

Filip Firlefijn was born in 1979, in Wilrijk, Belgium.

He went to school in Herentals, in the province of Antwerp, and went on to study literature at the university of Leuven, graduating in 2005, with a master in English and Dutch literature. He also successfully completed courses in art philosophy, art criticism and the history of film.

At Stuk in Leuven he attended a course in analog photography. At the moment he is photographer, artist and writer. He lives in Interlaken, Switzerland.

As a photographer Filip started out as a street photographer, traveling to cities like Antwerp and Brussels.He also took on landscape, portrait and fashion photography. Artistic developments had begon earlier in his life. Already in his youth he was interested in art. Through self-portraits, nude sketches and oil paintings in his adolescence, to large acrylic portraits of iconic people now.

The scale of the painting sometimes reminds us of the extra large paintings of Chuck Close, the colour and cartoon style added to 176 that, the paintings sometimes seem to refer to Roy Lichtenstein as well. Some of his latest portraits are pretty minimalistic, monochrome magenta on white backgrounds, which adds diversity to his portrait series. The portrait series is based on A4 ballpoint sketches, of which he has made already moret han 200.

As a writer Filip completed a series of poems calles "Sunset Boulevard", a compilation of about 200 poems, in the simple yet intelligent style of Herman de Coninck or Bart Moeyaerts "Verzamel de liefde" . In 2002 he ended as runner-up at his faculty's literary prize in the short story category.

At the moment he is finishing a film script (working title: Minuet), based on a book by Louis Paul Boon. However the story is transfered to Massachussets, USA, just after the second World War, keeping the structure of the story, but altering quite a lot of elements.

Wenju FuThe Day without Apple(2012) By Wenju Fu

There are three famous apples related to the human civilization:

The first one is the apple from Genesis (The Old Testament) which had a connection with the wisdom. The beginning of Bible tells the origin of sky and earth, and the creation of human beings: the God created Adam, and took one rib from Adam to create Eve. The snake lured Adam and Eve to eat the apple; as a result, the human beings had obtained wisdom and morality, but they had to be sent out from the garden of Eden by the God. The second apple is related to the “power” of the God: Isaac Newton was hit on his head by the apple, puzzled out the mysterious power of the God, and discovered the gravity. While the third apple is connected with Apple bitten by Steve Jobs. In the symbolic system, apple represents wisdom and temptation. However, in the final analysis, it symbolizes human’s desire on exploring the unknown. In the work The Day without Apple, the metaphor about “apple” is an important creation clue. The English scientist Desmond Morris has ever raised a question: although the human’s genes are filled with the characteristics that are able to cause its extinction, why human civilization can still develop in such a vigorous way? On the question of origin, Sigmund Freud thinks as “libido”, while Desmond Morris thinks that human’s endless curiosity and exploring desires are exactly what support its development.

Art Antwerp Booth B51, TM-Art Fine Artswebsite: www.fuwenjun.com

In the book The Naked Ape: A Zoologist's Study of the Human Animal, Desmond Morris examine all over again the human “animal” from the view of evolution theory. In his opinion, human beings, compared with other animals, the biggest evolution advantage is his endless exploring desires. Just because of this, human beings walked out from the garden of Eden (to Desmond Morris, the so called “garden of Eden” represents the primitive memory of apes that they walked towards open fields from the forests, changed into hunter from gatherer). Just for the reason of curiosity and exploration, Newton discovered the gravity, turning human beings into the real “force” of gravity from the unknown mysterious “power”. In the 21st century, humanbeings, with the curiosity and exploration towards the un known, promote continuously the development of civilization and society.

In terms of the creation technique, in The Day without Apple I misappropriate visual effect of thermal imaging; based on this, I add painting elements, so finally the image presents a splendid color similar to that of Fauvism and almost abstract. In daily scenes, with the use of another technology, many daily things obtain brand-new forms and meaning. This is the eye of technology, an expansion of human senses and consciousness; driven by curiosity, human together with the technology is walking into a new age. The conceptual photography work The Day without Apple was created at the beginning of 2012; after a few months, Apple CEO Steve Jobs passed away; title of that work is turned out to be a prophecy. When founding Apple, Jobs endeavored to avoid the technology obtaining the “godhood”, separating from human beings and developing in its own way; however paradoxically, when Apple avoids the technology godhood, it has developed into a myth of consumerism.

Dario Ballantini was born in Livorno in 1964. He had his first meetings with paintings and theater, within the walls of his own house. With his father who was a painter in the neo realist style, his uncle a post Macchiaioli artist, his grandfather an actor of an amateur dramaticcompany and his uncle a unsuccessful tenor.And he was struck by the reproductions of Guttuso, and Picasso seen in the volumes of reunited publishers that were distributed by his father. He became very passionate about comic strips (Jacovitti, and Marvel authors), and began trying to realize some of his own. As a teen, he discovered the songs of Luigi Tenco, whose figure became the subject of many portraits, and opened the door to the musical passion of Italian singers/song writers. Among of which that stood out, Guccini and Dalla, who were painted many times in portraits.

After taking a course in hatching, held by professor Giulio Guiggi (1912-1994) He enrolled himself in an experimental secondary school specializing in Art. Where he was a student of Giancarlo Cocchia (1924-1987). He graduated 1984.

In the mean time, his passion for being on stage, and for the figures of Totò, Petrolini and Alighiero Noschese grew after he watched their live Pisa.

At the age of 16, he visited Paris, and the large art exhibition of Amedeo Modigliani (The Museum of Modern Art). These works partly influenced his training. The subjects that he was practicing on, during this period, was the irregular face of Totò, which reminded him of the "Cubist" deconstruction, and the portraits and caricatures of companions, and high school teachers, which he filled his scholastic note books with.

It all began in 1983, with his classmate Stefano Ceselli, in the cabaret forming the duet "Le Cornacchie" that, after a radio broadcast in a local radio station (Radio Flash) and a victory at the Festival Nazionale del Cabaret, it surprisingly lands a TV program "Ciao gente" conducted by Corrado Mantoni on Canale5 (Watch the video!), which proposed young talents. Among others, Dario imitated Enzo Bearzot and Falcao.

In the meantime, he acted in theaters interpreting one of the four "Maschere of Livorno" in a dialect company that brought to the stage scenes from the works of Beppe Orlandi.

Dario Ballantini

Art Antwerp Booth C59website: www.darioballantini.it

However, painting remains an open door, and the participation of the collective "Rotonda Expo" gave him the possibility to meet the president of the Senate at the time Giovanni Spadolini (1925-1994) historically refined, that received a gift of artwork for his private collection.

In 1989, he took an advertisement graphic course held by the professor Leonardo Baglioni. In the same year he exhibited in Florence in the "Teorema" gallery, but his expressive language was not appreciated.

Due to this failure he went through a crisis, and took a reflective pause, which proved to be a productive break.

In fact Dario, worked even harder on the formation of the cabaret, and toured all of Italy, finally arriving in Milan, at the "Derbino cabaret".

The comical duet appeared on "Pronto Raffaella" Rai1 (Watch the video!), "Tandem" Rai 2 and some episodes of "Incrocia la fortuna" on Antenna 3, then falls apart. The two 19 year olds did not have a manager, and Stefano decides to quit.

After finishing High School, Dario meets and socializes with the painter Maurilio Colombini, and the art dealer Cesare Rotini (1945-2008). He was exposed to the Livorno lifestyle, at first with the portraits of Pierpaolo Pasolini neorealist, and subsequently with the expressionist works in collection and personal.

Many of his small format works were purchased by the organizer of some poetry prizes, Giovanni Merlo, with of which winners are rewarded. Which is how Ballantini was inserted, in contrast of the paintings post- Macchiaioli which ruled the market of livornesi painters. Meanwhile, the cabaret shows were being improved, with strong changes to hand-crafted quick changing.

Which became his primary job. Dario performed at town festivals, parties, fairs, night clubs opening a small market.

Rudy Van Nieuwenhove was born in September of

1962 in Kortrijk, Belgium. He showed his first signs

of creative artistry at the age of nine, as a first year

Academy student in Harelbeke. Due to high expectati-

ons in academia, Rudy’s artistic journey was delayed.

Rudy later went to college, but was drawn to back to

artistic training.

Through his curriculum, Rudy rapidly consumed all

knowledge and experienced as much as possible on

the subject of painting, illustration and more, with an

undying thirst. At only nineteen, he held his first solo

exhibition. During this age, Rudy focused mostly on

ink drawings and worked day and night. As a result,

the exhibition was completely sold out and there was

a tall list of orders. In the same year, 1981, Rudy wor-

ked with ‘New Gallery’ in Kortrijk along with other

artists including the widely celebrated Karel Appel.

Many works were sold there, and mainly to buyers in

the Middle East. Due to this great success, Rudy was

able to establish his own company in 1983. He held

exhibitions in just about every town around Kortrijk.

Rudy’s artwork evolved as he worked with oil, acrylic,

and lacquer, always working away here and there, in

a frenzy of wine, caffeine and sugar. Over many ye-

ars, Rudy organized his exhibitions with the help of

his wife Dorine Vanhie. In the last 10 years, he has be-

come increasingly sought out in France, particularly

by champagne houses. They commissioned him regu-

larly to portray exclusive frescoed paintings of their

homes for bottle labels and hangings.

Thusly, Rudy attracted much attention and was given

the opportunity to push himself to his limit. He was

invited to exhibit his works and talents in America,

The Netherlands, and Taipei. Unlocking possibilities,

Rudy came to want to conquer the world, exploring

not only the globe, but equally his artistic abilities; he

delved into sculpting, surrealism, pop-art, nudes, drip-

ping and more.

Monica Andres Alvarez

I was born in Madrid on 20 March 1979.

28 years later in 2007 I made the biggest

decision of my life so far, to move to Britain,

mainly to learn English and to explore my

creative side, that always been there. Mo-

ving firstly to Dornoch, Inverness and then a

year later moving to London.

I started painting and sketching from about

the age of six. My teachers first spotted my

talents in art, but my parents where more

pragmatic and decided I should widen my

studies, so later I Studied a Diploma in Ad-

vertising, PR and Marketing at High School.

Then at university I studied Management

and Business for Tourism as this seemed the

best way to find a job. I worked in this sector

for more than five years and it gave me a

lot of knowledge about different cultures

and countries around the world. But always

being passionate about art and design I went

back to university to complete a Masters in

Graphic Design and Event Management for

creative industries at St Martins, London.

A conceptual artist that explore how objects

create meaning and how their placement on

canvas define a narrative.

I am working on freehand utilize organic

materials and focuses on what can be

realized through focusing on the details.

Monica redefines objects and embodies a

raw sensitivity exposed through the process

of the deconstruction and reconstruction.

While her oeuvre clearly hits at unconscious

truths she rejects the idea of “perfection”

and embraces the beauty and truth stem-

ming from the “mistake”.

Monica influences are meditation, pop art,

expertise and study of publicity, fashion,

architecture and graphic design.

moved to Salzburg taking advantage of the Austrian

Alps along with the central European experience.

Pencil is a popular medium for Alexander. His body

of work consists of many drawings featuring various

subjects, from figurative to landscape. “Drawing is a

meditative process for me turning colour and light

into shades of grey feels instinctive. The pencil is a

beautiful tool to express and capture the fine intrica-

cies of the human face or a 25ft roaring wave.

Drawing is something I always return to after long pe-

riods of painting. I believe a drawing allows the viewer

to set the tone and stimulates the imagination”

Over time, Kusama taught herselfthe arts of cubism, abstraction andsurrealism, incorporating her ownunique spins on the classic styles,implementing the obscuring polkadots that had been an integral part ofher artistic works since her childhoodyears. The oldest example of this motif ofKusama's is a drawing from when the artistwas ten which depicts a Japanese woman,presumed to be her own mother, nearlyobliterated by the enormous polka dots. Evenall of these years, this particular style still findsits way into her pieces, and has since becomeher trademark.

Capitalizing on both her love of art and herability to churn out fascinating pieces withsurprising speed, Kusama began exhibiting herworks in Japan and receiving critical acclaimand interest from the public. However, herwanderlust drew her to the teeming metropolisof New York City; with its bohemian idealsand artistic freedom, it seemed to be anantithesis to her strict native Japan. Following along correspondence with Georgia O'Keeffe,which Kusama had initiated after buying andbeing inspired by a book of O'Keeffe's artwork,Kusama set out for the Big Apple to continueher career,where she would spend over 15years. At the age of 27, in 1958, she began herAmerican endeavors.

Due to severe political stringency, Japanesetravelers had many restrictions, including the amount of currencythey were allowed to bring out of the country, to dissuade them fromleaving. Always the ingenious opportunist, Kusama sewed bills intothe lining of her clothes and conquered the city, convincing a smallgallery to stage an exhibition of her work. However, she soon fell onhard times: her meager apartment was unheated, and she describeswinters as being brutal – “a living hell,” though she stayed up all night sometimes, painting to keep warm and to exorcise the demonsof her mind and expel the creative fervor raging inside.

Kusama explains that she has no individual favorite piece of her ownwork – that, once created, it automatically becomes a favorite andthat she loves them all. Her inspiration often comes from her vividhallucinations and visions, which flood her mind on a daily basis anddrown out all other sensations until she is swamped within theatmosphere of creative passion. The results of these visions are herstrikingly singular works, with their lurid colors and bold patterns,reminiscent of aboriginal art with their swirls and dots and delicatestrings of web-like netting.

By 1961, she was being regarded as an innovator in the avant-garde movement, and she was living in the same building as

such notables as Donald Judd and Eva Hesse. Thoughfrequently hospitalized for exhaustion and fatigue broughton by overwork, Kusama continued to delve into her art,inspired by the wild tempest of artists constantly millingaround here, such as Warhol, Jackson Pollock, RoyLichenstein and Willem de Kooning. By 1966, she wascreating enormous free-standing that filled entire rooms

PriskaMedam

Priska Medam, born in Basel/ Switzerland, created

a series of works involved in the magic cosmos of

life. Reminiscent of nature, her work reflects the

processes of forming, of growth and change, of

becoming and of passing away.

Graphic elements, shapes and colors create the

relationship between background and foreground,

silence and movement. Her inexhaustible source

is human life. As a sensitive artist, she observes

her environment then receives passion-filled new

ideas. Colors and forms arise from her inner circle.

Priska Medam is fascinated by art which engages

people. Her works represent at once daydreams

and apparent paradoxes. In the last 5 years Priska

has taken part in, and hosted, many exhibitions at

galleries and has displayed her work in Switzer-

land, Germany, France and the United States.

In 2001 she commenced her studies as a painter

and is now a curator for many events in Basel.

Welcome to our magnificent book Dreams of Di-

amonds and the exclusive limited edition set of

prints from taken from the book entitled The

Illuminant Edition.

As photographic artists and designers for over 20

years we have been involved in all forms of pho-

Alastair laidlaw & Christine Marsden

tography and printing.

Over the years we have become known for our work

with jewels, in particular diamonds, always trying to

combine our creative fine art ideas into our com-

mercial work. As a result of this towards the end of

2007 we began to explore the idea of producing a

Dreams of Diamonds

wonderful book of highly creative photography ex-

clusively devoted to diamonds.

Throughout our commercial careers we have worked

with many of the top publications and jewellers in the

world. But it would be true to say that our greatest joys

in photography have come from our fine art work.

We are committed to large format images and have

been very fortunate on numerous occasions to use the

20x24 inch Polaroid camera, producing exclusive col-

lections of work in both Polaroid Transfer and Emulsion

Lift techniques. We also specialized in Platinum Palla-

dium printing with many of our images being printed

using this technique and successfully produced some

of the largest platinum images in the world.

Considering all the large

format work we had creat-

ed throughout our careers,

the idea of producing a fab-

ulous ‘Super Book’ was a nat-

ural progression along a path we had

already been travelling for many years. The project

was completed in summer 2013.

We both feel delighted and privileged to have been

able to bring together such an exceptional and

unique project and extend our heartfelt thanks to

everyone involved.

art printers, we facilitate art negotiations,

create exposure & media publicity, and give

general art business guidance and assistance.

Maes has had over the 40 Solo and group exhibi-

tions at Gallery’s and Top Art-fairs Worldwide. His

works are drawing the attention of international

collectors; his visions, Sculpture, designs and pain-

tings are published in 7 fine art international books

Contemporary Masters, contemporary Sculptors

and art magazines. The artist is influenced by a

number of fields, including design, technology,

science, architecture, and archaeology, as well as

art history. With such innovation evident in his

work, The visionary Artist Maes is destined to take

the art world by storm.

One of this year’s highlights in the Modern and

Contemporary Art section include artworks by

Thomas Maes, the premiere of unique oil paintings,

sculptures and design objects, inviting the sophisti-

cated art lovers to discuss about it.

Thomas Maes, born 1983 in Belgium, shows an

extraordinary collection of paintings with ordinary

objects in an unusual context. They attract the

viewer`s attraction by giving new meanings to

familiar things. The use of ordinary objects in

unfamiliar spaces is joined to his desire to create

poetic imagery as well as his consciousness to

think about the Universe. Thomas Maes descri-

bed the process of painting as the art of putting

colors side by side in such a way that their real

aspect is effaced, so that familiar objects - clouds,

ARTISTS

amphoras, houses, trees or cubic forms - become

united in a single poetically disciplined image. The

poetry of these images dispense with any symbolic

significance, old or new. Each of these recurring

themes can be interpreted differently and has

significant meanings.

His paintings titled “Dark Matter”, “A New World”

or “Civilization” represent visible images which

evoke a kind of mystery. Thomas Maes` constant

play with reality and illusion can be attributed to his

interest in history, science and culture. Since seven

years, the Belgium artist is living and working at the

Greece island of Crete, surrounded by the ancient

Minoan civilization and archetypical, archeological

find spots. In his artworks Maes is back and forth

playing, zapping on and off with reality and illusion,

reflecting his constant shifting back and forth per-

ception during his mental time journey. Since many

years Thomas Maes formed his own signature in a

very clean, concise and exacting style.

Lulu Wang

Aside from the books, short films, poems, columns and all the other items mentioned above, Wang is also active in the field of lecturing, giving various lectures about Chinese culture, the (possible) cultural differences between The Netherlands and China and related topics. In doing so, Wang hopes to forge a bridge between Western and Chinese cultures. I for one look forward to reading what Adam and Eve will get up to in China. Beijing, in Wang you have found a true multinational and multi-faceted ambassador.

Lulu Wang is a true Beijinger by birth. She was born in the Chinese capital on Dec. 22, 1960, and moved to The Netherlands in 1986. Her big literary break came when she published “The Lily Theater,” giving an accurate and detailed account of the author’s childhood and teenage years, in 1997, selling almost 1 million copies in The Netherlands alone. The debut also gained her several awards, including the 1999 International Nonino Prize. Ever since she tasted that first bite of success, Wang has continued publishing novels, short stories and poetry on a regular basis.

Schrijfster Lulu Wang.(Den Haag 10-08-10)Foto:Frank JansenLulu Wang, Beijing-born, Holland-resident (and successful) author.

Aside from her many literary efforts, Wang has ventured into the fields of publishing in recent years, Lulu Wang Publishing (2012), short films and book apps. One example of the latter, at the same time adding a new twist to her writing, was her 2013 publication “Summer full of Love” (originally called “Zomervolliefde” in Dutch or “爱满夏天” in Chinese).The work was a bilingual (Dutch-Chinese) multimedia book application featuring short poems about love, a song and a short film. Nevertheless, this was not by any means Wang’s first multi format release; in 2012, she became one of the first literary authors to release a full-on interactive multimedia publication in the form of “Holland, wo ai ni” (originally “Nederland, wo ai ni”) on both the national and international level.

At this very moment, Wang is putting the final touches on her soon to be released (March 2014) “Adam and Eve in China” (originally “Adam en Eva in China”), a non-fictional work in which she promises “to add two new dimensions fans may not be expecting from her.” The work will become available as a free e-book, and will also be offered in other formats.

Since 2013, Wang returned to her birth roots and took up a column for the leading Chinese magazine Shijie Bolan, a publication discussing all that lies abroad. From August last year onwards, she could add Shijie Zhishi magazine to that list as well. For both magazines, Wang mainly discusses life, and all it entails, in Holland and Belgium.

Piece of Cake

Piece of Cake is a collection of handmade miniature dessert replicas made into jewelry and accessories founded in 2011.

Colorful cupcakes, doughnuts, cakes, tarts and many more real life desserts become the main source of inspiration for this whimsical and romantic collection.

The miniatures are made from polymer clay, a type of hardenable modeling clay, with a long and detailed process. Each piece is shaped from scratch like a small sculpture and when formed, it bakes in the oven at 110o C to harden. After the baking process it’s time for adding beads, chain and some final touches such as glitter or varnish.

A new collection with a special theme comes out every season. Many pieces have traveled all over the world to get to their owners!

Iris, the founder, designer and maker at Piece of Cake, currently lives and works in Greece where she also studies Architecture.

Gabriel Meiring

Gabriel Meiring was born in 1946 in Johan-

nesburg (South-Africa). In 1968 he moved to

Belgium to complete his education as a con-

cert pianist. Challenged by a friend, he started

turning his focus also on painting. His success

of his first exhibition in 1975 in Deurle (Bel-

gium) convinced him to start concentrating on

pencil drawings, lithography, painting in tem-

pera, acrylic and even oil on silk – a delicate

and unique technique.

As diverse as Gabriel’s techniques, as different are

his many ways of expression: besides painting large

wooden wall panels, he also paints on porcelain and

concert piano’s (Blüthner). He also designs leaded

windows and nteriors for clients. This interior

design integrates his panels in peaceful colors with

a daring and warm color magnificence of the luxuri-

ous fabrics he chooses alongside. This way Gabriel

magically turns a home into a tasteful palace.

Since the 1980’s the demand for private exhibi-

tions of his work increased tremendously. This in

combination with many piano recitals became to

much for him. For three years he retreated to Capri

to perfect his knowledge of anatomy and tech-

nique. After returning a large amount the orders

started pouring in. Thanks to long days of work he

can carry out the numerous orders ever since.

With his work he tries to accomplish a picturesque

balance between color, imagination and a special

technique, which is probably a heritage of his classi-

cal education. Or as a critic writes: “The artworks of

Meiring suggest a musical movement even though

they speak their own picturesque language”.

Comparing his paintings to his music is nog just a

means to comprehend the technique of his works.

The paintings generate an emotional and spiritual

stimulation which is to be compared with the

blessed feeling one gets from listening to a well

performed concert. The emotional timbre of his

work is being developed by the use of mythological

and symbolic theme’s. His style can be described

as ‘Intimate Symbolism’, which portraits the emo-

tional and spiritual content of his art.

The meaning of this expression is bizarre,

supernatural and unreal. Many types of art are

being created and seem to be visual poetry in the

development stage. The

recurring designs he uses

are elegant figures of ex-

traordinary grace and exotic

creatures. Often shaped in gold

and silver leaf and rich patterns. The

subject of his ‘poetry’ is the emotional space and

spiritual atmosphere of his own inner world.

The artworks of Meiring evoke feelings of Art

Nouveau or Vienna Secession of the early 20th

century. With Gustav Klimt he shares the taste

for elegant figures, complicated decorations and

layers of dazzling patterns as well as the refined

and sometimes erotic sensitivity. To accomplish

these effects it’s necessary for the artist to have

absolute control over his tools. The finish and

refinement of Meirings work is perfect and every

part of his artworks deserve the attention of the

viewer. According to Meiring all the paintings have

to be a joy to the senses as well as the spirit.

To reach a larger public Gabriel released in 2006 a

wonderfully illustrated monograph in English, be-

cause he also has many clients abroad and in the Mid-

dle - and Far East. The book received a double Sappi

Award for best art book of Europe and the world.

Roderick Loyed

Patrick Ramont is a phenomenon, an enthusiastic

artist, a passionate painter who succeeds in a field

where just about everything seems to be portrayed

repeated and haughty copying, yet to hear their own

voice and develop both a personal visual language of

form and content is beholden to no one.

He uses an equally obvious and remarkable figuration

that are realistic about coming, and then loaded by

symbolism, with hints of magic is adorned, is

immediately visible and which are still unfolding on

closer inspection in various waves of recognition.

He paints what he sees and what he suspects behind

the visible and feel, which is part of his inner life and

his daydreams that fundamental part of his existence.

Thus sets grow large canvases in which instance he

hurt depicts a surprising abstract visual language that

graceful and evocative at the same time, or a female

nude in an unusual coloration and in a candid and

direct tone of admiration and visual field daring to

approach a concrete and true reality.

Much of what he paints has a strange appearance

that one can not interpret because both the allure

and the meanings of his scenes are barely or not at

all seen immediately and show a surprising depth

and a unique vision of what goes beyond the

everyday presentation.

Not that he would develop inaccessible but in many

of his paintings, and certainly in the works here is

indeed more than just shape and color available.

PatrickRamont

A visual language he clearly chose here to show that a

significant undercurrent, reveal his entire oeuvre, all of

which have to do with space and spatiality, with three

of the five elements, circles and depth, with light that

carries a number of works many mysteries, with

palpable mystery, and an abundance of boulders and

stones in colors that avoid alienating many artists

because they are so difficult to handle.

Purple and teal, however, take this to the creation of

an almost magical atmosphere which further

emphasized by the structure of his works, by the

presence of immediately visible and somewhat hidden

circles, through darkness and light that enter a

fascinating dialogue.

"I am a moon child, born at full moon" says Patrick

Ramont with artless and innocent belief that evidence

of a peaceful and meaningful self-confidence.

That statement can be seen as an explanation for the

ubiquity of a shining and often triple circular motif in

paintings of darkness and light, shadows and ghosts,

of reality and symbolism of what is sometimes

described as the music of the spheres.

Nature is an important motif in his creativity. He

integrates her in a personal way and rarely seen in

everything he paints. So much so that they coincide

with his view of things and beings that they

spontaneously appears when he guided himself

through his imagination.

This applies equally to concrete structures as ethereal

images like moon and clouds, heavenly bodies, a

personal view of physicality and also many that refers

to the sea in general and breakwaters and palisade of

Ostendn in particular.

He portrays a silent world of a multi-layered universe

in which light is a walking data that is born from a

variety of sources, which dragon eggs break open and

a mischievous creature appears, in which a medieval

devil chuckles, a world in which man is not yet present

and little further another world in which man has

already come and gone his characteristic destruction

Patrick Ramont depicts alienation and also a reality

that is part of his experience and by fantastique,

powered view of the world that surrounds him and

part of his artistic mind. That is, as already mentioned,

nudes with a special appearance but above clouds and

skies, depth and tranquility, stones tend towards an

elliptical shape and with a strange luminosity are

animated and sometimes have something of menhirs,

references to the sea with clouds a play important

role, celestial bodies that the trinity of water, fire and

earth calls circles that show how closely he puts colors

and creates transparencies, a sensitive and

immeasurable background that is populated subtle

references and presences.

He creates dialogues and makes connections between

reality and fantasy books, between form and content,

between the pure and authentic painting and a

personal philosophy.

What might be a little strange at first glance turns out

afterwards to be a real and artless pictorial drive the

reflection.
