VHS Memories
2014-01-10 12:28AM / 標準BLOG
Last time I was in France, I found a box full of old VHS I thought I got rid off years ago. There was a time I thought they were useless but seeing them again brought back memories of the video stores where I spent my childhood discovering hundreds of movies I'm still found of today. I definitely couldn't throw them away this time so I decided to recycle these VHS for a series that would pay tribute to all those great characters I have known through them. I'm actually working on the sixth and seventh ones and making contact with galleries and events interested in exhibiting them when the series will be finished.
Here are number 1 and 2, no need to introduce them I presume:

Enter The Dragon !
2012-11-10 1:54AM / 標準BLOG
It seems like ages since we last posted on this site. It's good to be back.
We've been very busy opening our little ArtCafe in ZhengZhou, hoping to make it a place where people can relax and enjoy good coffee and home made cakes as they discover the works of young contemporary artists from Europe and China with fun and unusual style. Things seem to be starting pretty well so it's quite encouraging and we have lots of plans for the future. We'll post pictures of our place very soon....
We also continued our creations, one of the latest being a big version of our Kung Fu paintings titled "Enter the Dragon" (...literally). Dimensions are 120 X 60 cm. Here it is, hope you'll enjoy:

"Bernini Cafe" has just opened a few days ago and if you live near Zheng Zhou and like contemporary art, it's definetely worth checking out. We both had a very pleasent and relaxing afternoon, drinking excellent coffee, chatting with the owner (who also has an art gallery in ZhengZhou), and enjoying the works of very talented artists that are exposed there. This kind of places being quite rare here in Henan, it's been a great discovery. Hope to meet you there one day.
The cafe also proposes a lot of interesting Art related books and magazines and you can enjoy yourself customizing small china characters. We couldn't resist doing one:

Hi everyone!
Here are our first five "Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting" paintings (50x60cm) completed and ready for the show.
