PETER MURPHY showing works in the GOLD Exhibition at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna
I just promoted this work in the private Visionary Art Network because I think it should be known that it is one of two pieces by our fellow Visionary Artist Peter Murphy that are currently on display at the prestigeous GOLD Exhibition at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna - if you happen to be in Vienna, the show is scheduled until June 17th.
Aside from that: if you are a collector, these works are still available! Get in touch with Peter if you are interested!
Below is the second work featured in this show:

Malwerkstatt Kulturzentrum Palais Palffy - Malkurs: Realistisch Malerei mit Mag.art Bella Volen
www.phantastenmuseum.jimdo.com/akademie
Unterricht auf Deutsch, bei Bedarf auch sehr gerne Englisch oder Bulgarisch.
Die Malerei ist eine Bildsprache, je reicher unser Bildvokabular, desto schöner, interessanter können wir uns ausdrücken. Ein besonderes Bild kann nicht nur gute Ideen und handwerkliches Können darstellen, sondern auch Rhythmus der Formen, Symmetrie und Asymmetrie, ruhige und aktive Teile, verschwommene oder scharfe Elemente, klein oder groß, quer oder hoch, Kontrast und Harmonie von den Strukturen, Farben, Dunkelheit, Helligkeit, Lichtquellen in dem Bild selbst, Schatten.
Die Gegenstände können realistisch, reduziert, transformiert, abstrakt, transparent, von verschiedenen Perspektiven betrachtet werden …
In diesem Seminar werden wir uns jeden Tag mit einer neuen Aufgabe beschäftigen und sowohl an dem Konzept, als auch sehr bewusst mit den Farbkombinationen, Grundlagen der Gestaltungslehre und verschiedenen Pinselstrichen arbeiten.
Es wird individuell gearbeitet, somit ist das Seminar sowohl für Anfänger, als auch für Fortgeschrittene geeignet.
Egal ob Flora, Fauna, Architektur, Gegenstände, Traumwelten, Muster oder Menschen, alles ist möglich.
Sehr gerne können Sie sich bei mir im Voraus per e-mail melden und ihre Malwünsche teilen, damit ich die passenden Vorlagen für Ihre Ideen vorbereite.
Es wird mit Acryl, Aquarell oder Gouachefarben gemalt. Diese und Zeichenmaterial, Papier, Pinsel und Leinwand sind bitte mitzubringen.
Falls Sie etwas vergessen haben, bekommen Sie für das Seminar
natürlich Ersatz-Materialien von mir.
Es wird auch die Arbeit mit verschiedenen Imprimaturen, Emulsionen und Lacken gezeigt.

Paris Surrealist Heritage – Bissaya Barreto Foundation
Artist Santiago Ribeiro the curator of the very successful “Surrealism Now” exhibition in Coimbria, Portugal, in collaboration with Liba Waring Stambollion have organised a quality exhibition in the heart of Paris at Dorothy’s Gallery, the American Center for the Arts. The exhibition brings together artists from diverse countries, such as France, Portugal, Russia, United States, Czech Republic, Vietnam and Latvia.
“Surrealism, which was born after the first wold war, is characterized by its opposition to all social conventions, moral and logic. It is a movement immersed in dreams, instinct, desire, rebellion, and the liberty of life. It is also perhaps the movement most tied to imagination, a movement fully alive in the artistic and literary worlds. In Portugal, it is perhaps the link which ties these two worlds together. Prof. Perfecto Cuadrado said so aptly in one of his conferences: “The history of Surrealism, meaning anthologies, studies, catalogues (and exhibits) devoted to the so called International surrealism, needs to be divulged – the price, sometimes, in a simplified fight against other forms of simplification, when it is not against a total silence due to sectarianism, or ignorance whether French, Portuguese or International.” Surrealism through words, painting and sculpture continues, like life to be: insistent, concrete, daily and real. This exhibition in Paris, the birthplace of the movement, is proof that “International Surrealism” is still alive.”
