Highlights
The Possibility Of A Humatopia
James de Blas has a special way to share with us his psychedelic visions: he cherishes representating half human half animal people- like Ancient Egyptians did to represent their gods- dancing in apocalyptic landscapes which picture the strengh of nature, the mystery of wilderness.
Textures As Life Itself
John Williams gives life to textures on his canvases, like the painter Jean Dubuffet did with his series of Texturologies, creating landscapes where gouache in thick layers was used as an element to create a third dimension. Frottage technique, work on the..
The Surrealistic truth of our bodies
Ansen Seale's photographs play with the limits of our perception, to desorientate us, by body distorsions. As if these bodies were genetically modified, or of an other human reality Ansen Seale roots his art in the contemporary research done on body and the limits of its representation.
The Dyonisian Pleasures of Landscapes
The Lohin Geduld gallery exhibits up until the 13th February 2010, landscapes paintings by Albert Kresch. Albert Kresh's paintings linger in our memories because his colors are shaped as a vibrant clay. More over, Kresch's thick color patterns and technique, using mixed media, give his pieces...

Erotic Voyeography
Tichy would probably look quite out of place wandering around the ICP. An outsider to not only the art world but in his own small town in Czechoslovakia. He was discovered almost accidentally only four years ago and propelled into the spotlight by his clandestine photography of voyeurism. Every aspe
The Female Control of Art
It is an important fact in the history of the arts for the last century or more that in England and America, if not elsewhere, the chief interest in all the arts, including literature, has been taken by women rather than by men.
FUGACITY
 Martine Thoelen's paintings illustrate her own poetical vision of the world. She wants reveals the mysterious beauty, the inner beauty of her models. By creating apparently unfinished paintings, Martine Thoelen leads us to the full sense of fugacity.
Ellen Von Unwerth's "Fräulein" at Staley and Wise...

From A Kaleidoscope
 Davor Vukovic is an artist that finds his inspiration in the amazing beauty and richness of nature. His art reveals harmonic influences of late impressionist artists, Fauvism, and painters such as Cezanne, Vlaminck or Soutine.
What Is Consciousness
 The center of the earth is what Professor Lidenbrock was looking for in Jules Verne’s 1864 novel "A Journey to the Center of the Earth," and it is also what Larry Poons was looking for in 1969 with his encrusted topographical paintings.

"A Foot In The Grave"
