Vernissage FAKE YOU!

Nice vernissage at the Haagse Kunstkring last Saturday, where I showed my portrait FAKE YOU!

FAKE YOU!

I made this iPad portrait a few months after Trump announced candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America. I could not imagine that many people would vote for him. I saw a television interview in which he did not substantiate his opinions with any argument. He based his feelings on world politics, in his own words, mainly on the information he received from television.

I had known his artificial hairstyle for a long time. But during that television interview I noticed for the first time that the orange color of his face becomes paler around his eyes. You would think it is caused by wearing a protection cover for his eyes at the solarium or in the spray tan booth. However, there are rumors in the White House that the President is not doing anything about his skin color. It is all genetically determined.

This portrait will be on display in the Haagse Kunstkring as part of a member presentation with the theme Portrait. The opening is on April 6 at 4 p.m. Everybody is welcome.

Pointe d’Areu

In the valley of the Arve, east of Geneva, you will pass the Pointe d’Areu. It is difficult for me to estimate the mountain’s height. My computer tells me you can have a magnificent view of Mont Blanc from the 2478 meter high summit.

Le balcon de Genève en hiver 4

A 15 minute walk from my apartment in Carouge I look at the Salève, a table mountain that has the nickname the Balcony of Geneva. I start with sketches on the iPad in black and white. Here and there you still see some patches of snow.
