Exhibition SURREALISM NOW – Pousada de Condeixa Coimbra – 15.1. to 15.2.2024

 Coimbra, Portugal – From January 15th to February 15th, the International Surrealism Now exhibition will be on display, organized by the ADFP Foundation and the Portuguese artist Santiago Ribeiro, who has been traveling with his art to numerous corners of the world.  International Surrealism Now began in 2010 organized by the Bissaya Barreto Foundation and now features 126 artists from 52 countries. 

The facility where the event will be held is the Conimbriga Hotel do Paço, whose building origins date back to the 14th century. Here, kings and distinguished members of the European nobility slept. Destroyed in the French invasions, it was rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1993, it became a Pousada de Portugal and since 2019, it has been a charming 4-star hotel.

SOLO EXHIBITION AT THE GALERIE ESTHER - ERNST FUCHS MUSEUM, VIENNA

Prior to my 80th Birthday, I am proud to be showing at this prestigious gallery in Vienna. Showing many of my works that were never shown in Vienna before, together with some of my best work from the decades of art since the seventies.

One painting that was never shown in Vienna was this: 

THE SURROGATE MOTHER OF WISDOM

MY ARTWORK POSTED ON FLICKR

I had posted most of my artwork to several albums on Flickr - one of them is my main album that holds all my work.

Here is a embedded view of this album:

I strive to keep this updated. The works are not in any order, some are early works, some most recent. The leading image is of course my signature image, a Surreal Selfportrait called SELFPORTRAIT WITH THE CRITICAL EYE.
