"je suis charlie" ... we all should be !

 

2015

 

on that horrible january day a group of islamic terrorists invaded the parisian sarcastic newspaper "charlie hebdo" dear to the french people.

"charlie hebdo" defends the rights of the press to write about anything in a very sarcastic and humorous way, rights that those assassins do not want to exist in their religiously influenced ideology ... they chose to kill most of the journalists in their newspaper's office  as well as a french policeman right in the street.

at the same time, in another part of paris, another terrorist invaded a jewish kosher supermarket killing several clients and employees after having shot a policewoman in the streets of montrouge, a parisian suburb.

 

I sincerely believe it is our duty to defy ideologies like these looking for annihilating our liberties and trying to impose their way of seeing the world to all of us  ...

liberty of the press - liberty of religious beliefs - liberty of not believing in anything - liberty of loving who we want - liberty of deciding who we want to be ... as long as one's liberty does not restrict anybody else's liberty, of course ...

make love, not war ... this is what we all should stand for !!!

MESSAGE from THE NEWBIE that I am in the Art World

As a newbie int the art jungle I had to learn quite a painful lesson indeed - four years ago I was contacted by 

ART PRODUCTIONS NEW YORK 

telling me that they were quite interested in representing me and my artwork.

THAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER ...


As a newbie I have never before heard about so-called VANITY GALLERIES, etc. and believed that - if you wish to exhibit here and there - then one  would have to pay for that. Today I - as well as plenty of other unhappy artists which had put their faith in ART PRODUCTIONS NEW YORK CITY - have learned that I had been fooled for almost 2 years and that my reputation as an artist must have been dangerously jeopardized because of my ignorance and naiveté, or - as many art critics see it - for wanting to boost my ego.

That has never been my attention at all ... unfortunuately, I didn't know it better at that time.

What had happen however is that not only did ART PRODUCTIONS NEW YORK CITY  NOT do anything of what they promised and got largely paid for

 but worst of all - they never returned my two artworks in their "care"



# 280   THE TEAR

as well as

# 285   BREAKING FREE - the last journey of huguette


The two artworks that connected me to my late mother-in-law !!!

 


May this mishap be a warning to other inexperienced artists - never accept invitations from any VANITY GALLERY that are pure scam ...             

 Be careful, watch out, check out before making a decision involving your artwork or your money !!!
