It's almost time for Paris!

The Salon de SNBA is fast approaching, this Sunday (December 4th) I will be getting on a plane that will take me and my painting to Paris. I am super excited! Right now I’m super busy with all the final preparations, The crate that will protect my painting during the flight is almost finished, it just lacks a couple of wheels and a handle. A new set of business cards is in and as I type this my printer is working overtime printing out material for my mini press kitts. For now I think I have things under control although I’m a bit apprehensive about the weight of my luggage, I can only bring 25kg with me as checked luggage and that includes my painting so I’ll have to be careful when I start packing.


While the preparations are keeping me busy for now I still hope to be able to at least make a start with a new piece, I’m thinking Halifax but I might change my mind. I did finish my large Montreal piece, just in time for the opening of ‘Small for W’all’, a group show at Viva Vida Art Gallery. When I get back from Paris I’m going to have to work really hard, I’m hugely behind on my boroughs project, I’ve another commission piece that needs to be finished in January and I really have to create some new art as well. I also want to do some experiments with the fast image transfer technique to see where and how I can implement it in my work.


This week an extensive interview about me, my artwork and my artistic background was published online at www.whyfey.com, the interview at this location is in Dutch, I’ve created an English translation which can be found here. I’m very grateful to Kees Hoogervorst for this amazing piece of press coverage, I had a great time answering his profound questions, he really made me think and I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed the interview itself.


I won’t be able to write a post next week since I’ll be in Paris but I will tweet and update my Facebook page while I’m there and I’ll write all about it in this blog after I get back.
