Got any other pics?

Laurentius --

The mask-mobiles were a phase (sorry; "period") she went through a few years back. She started working with dowels, then went to found branches for a more natural look (and a more challenging balance job). She gave a few away as gifts, we hung a few in the house, and there are a few more making it difficult to walk in her (tiny) studio. We thought about marketing them, but she (understandably imo) hates the idea of doing art on command.

She also paints in acrylic. We have a lot of those. Got into stone sculpting a few years ago, which is more time consuming. and of course, you can't paint over your mistakes... So we have just a couple stone pieces.

Coolest thing is the wall that goes from our basement up to the 2nd floor. It's all a big sky-mural. Can't capture that, but will post another piece or two when I find the files tomorrow.

Your compliment is much appreciated.

Is that a triptych? What kind of material have you used in these? Do these have names? Have you had any exhibitions? Do you have a web site for your art Michael? Would you like to have one?

A Finnish artist Teemu Mäki uses a little similar mutilated "muscularity" in his works. His colours are very brutal though...

Can we have more?

It's a faux triptych. The majority of the paintings are oil on linen canvas.

This one I call "Tightrope".

Thank you, I knew somebody would know who it was.

Molly: Sounds like a very interesting collection! I'm dying to see some of those pics. Do you play that mbira too? And what about that Kali? Have you kept it satisfied?

Kali seems happy with the stuff I offer up to our beloved mods- you know, the odd black rooster, Christian missionary, et cetera.

The mbira is more decorative than anything else, unfortunately, but I do have a few recordings of mbira music.

Forget to mention the Peter Schmidt prints that came with Brian Eno's 'Before and After Science' and the Russell Mills' print that came with 'More Blank Than Frank' .

As promised, here's another piece that hangs in our house. Again, my wife is the artist...

I love them! Especially your latest works. "Man in a bar" is brilliant.

I'm gonna be honest here. I like the brush, I like it very much, its perhaps a bit grand wich with the coulours you've used perhaps gives a little cartoonish feell to some of the paintings. I'm not a big fan of Dali but surrealism is always great. You've managed to stay away from the most common pitfalls that so many other post dalists or enviromental surrealists fall victim to. Your paintins ahve at the same time attitude and humour in them and it works. Also some of the inks were fantastic. Especially this untitled one http://mcerion.tripod.com/b094.htm

I see you've got your fair share with the censorship. Thats sad reading but I guess its up to the restaurant owner to decide especially as I understood you hadnt got any written contract and you werent paying for the exhibition. Otherwise it would hsve been a clear breach of your contract. I'm not sure but if this happened in NYC I'm very surprised. From the paintings you have on your page there is not one painting I could imagineanyone could find even remotely offending. Even in "last call" the penis is somewhat deformed.

If I had money for an airline ticket I'd lve to be at the opening of your new exhibition.

That sounds neat indeed. And the picture you posted, wich I guess is acrylic. Thats pretty, and she should definately keep on painting if it results in stuff as good as this. Anymore pics?

Thank you for your wonderful compliments on my artwork. I wished had more admirers like you. Wish me luck on my first NYC show, I am hoping to make a big impression on someone influential who take me to the next level.

I have not entirely shaken the Dali influence, it occasionally sneaks its way back into some of my paintings. My high school art teacher introduced me to Dali's work and in a large part I learned to paint by visiting his paintings in museums and copying the technique. It was only much later, that I learned what a reprehensible person he was in his private life and how hated he was by many in the arts community.

Now I am combining some other influences to come up with a whole new style for me. I am not there yet, but with a lot more work I should achieve my goal in a few years.

Some very intriguing stuff, Moses. Keep at it, and good luck with your show.
