DREAMS OF BEIJING

Today Beijing is the capital of a country with a population of more than one million million. Usually cities, they develope and transform but beijing is amazing. To visit such a place in the 80´s was very complicated affair now all the conflictive elements have desolved and we are free to discover your country.

Every artist that spend some time in the city will have a great opportunity to observe first hand the radical changes like those from the era of Mao Zedong and the cultural Revolution of the 70´s. Now we don´t need documentation to travel and paint for 3 months in Bei Gao, Beijing. The problem to finding a gallery of modern art has now dissapeared. The musseums are still fulled with people and everywhere we can see social changes. The beijingnees have started the consumption of art on a revolutionary scale. The napkins are being changed from paper to clothe but there are a lot of young artist with wich you can discover the other face of the city. Paint , enjoy and learn from a culture of thousands years old would be a dream come true.

I want the people of Beijing to be able to enjoy my art and take part in this exciting process with me.

Today you can enjoy art. Beijing opens its doors. And we accept.

OBJETIVES

My objective is to be in Beijing for more than 4 months. And complete 3 projects.

STAGE

Project part 1. BECOMING REALLITY

Arrive un Beijing is the first step. Settle into an apartment and get to know the city and enjoy the culture. Look for interesting images for me in the creation at new work. Dedicating this time to the preparation of ideas and studies for later works.

Project part 2. STAGE Developement of work in Bei Gao.

Once settled in Bei Gao in better conditions I want to make a series of paintings in a large scale (10 paintings of 150cm x150cm along) based on the documentation made in stage one. I will also make smaller drawings and studies.
These i would like to exhibit in a gallery in the final stage in Bei Gao.
