OONARK

today I brought 2 works to an exhibition in the local library, about growth and conflict. fryday the 3th of may 2024 at 19h is the opening  I am happy to be able to show a a part of what I do.  the one work is the self portrait of the viewer and the other is the space he lives in. my works are about the inner world and what life you live from in within what can not be seen. mostly abstract images whit vivid colours ore black and white. there is an other project whit a deadline at the 29th of may starting aswel from Thursday. where I've been given a wall from 3.7m to 2m I hope to get a bigger space because I have a huge canvas to cover up ., and my call was that my home was not big enough en that's why I wanted to take part in the call  

 wijklabo 2024  the parochi at koxplein is empty , and they asked if we want to have our project there ., even tho our project is not supported because they stand for community and neighbour hood and we do a fight against poverty., se we have to change our ideas a bit and fold our words in a way they understand that being part of the community protects you from falling out of society. we have a small budget to start up our project, to connect people to each other and them self. where the goal is to connect and not to earn a living. but where we can teach each other and hopefully create skills to find jobs. the church has a door to enter and we have permission to use that door and walk into the house of god., not in figure of speech but open the door and walk in do things and use the space , the organ , ore chairs.,  5th of may wil be our first event they asked us to open up the space and play some music we wil include thee and yoga the name for now wil be thuis van heden now i like buu
