Buon Giorno da Firenze! Florence Biennale Opening Day
Today is very special for those of us invited to show our artwork at the Florence Biennale (07 edition). It’s taken over a year to prepare and it’s hard to believe this Olympics for artists is finally here. But, if you look at the images below, you’ll see that it’s true. This is the entrance to the Fortezza, with posters announcing the event.
And, here is my freshly uncrated exhibit, "Buon Appetito!" (with crates infront).
I arrived in Florence a few days ago, on a picture perfect morning, sunny but crisp, and had a magnificent view of the snow-filled Alps on the flight from Munich. Not a big skier, but this snowscape made me want to be!
And, it came after a spectacular sunrise.
Of course, photos taken at altitude throuh a plane window, don’t do justice to what’s seen live. But, it’s always fun to share them.
While I’m a little preoccupied with this new chapter of the Biennale adventure, upcoming blog entries will reveal what has refreshed and empowered me since finishing painting "Buon Appetito!" in September—an extra special visit to Africa at the end of October. The photo below provides a clue as to where. (Please remember to click on the images to enlarge them.)
