London Raw Arts Festival

From 14th – 22nd may I exhibited at the London Raw Arts Festival. It was the first time for me and the second time the artshow was organised. I studied in London at the International Filmschool from 1977-1979 and had never returned so it was great to spend some time in the city again. The artshow was a tremendous experience. Over 75 artists from all around the globe were showing their work. Raw art, outsider art or art brût are denominations of a fast growing art movement which defines itself best as ‘self thought’ and ‘no art tuition’. Have a look at the photoshoot and visit back when the video’s will be up. The festival was well promoted and drew a lot of attention. Read what for instance the New York Arts Magazine had to say about it.

Rabbi Moses Maimonides about angels

Rabbi Moses Maimonides is one of the great inspirators of www.angel-drawing.com. I hope to work on some Maimonides pages soon and explain in greater detail about the cause of automatic drawing, transcendental ideomotor automatism or TIA and how this subject relates to the concept of Angels as explained by Maimonides. Maimonides touched ideas that we now see back in quantum theories: ‘Angels are changeable in form; they appear one time as females, at another as males. Now as spirits, now as Angels.’ By this remark it is clearly stated that Angels are incorporeal, and have no permanent bodily form independent of the mind (of one who perceives them). They exist entirely in prophetic vision, and depend on the action of the imaginative power,…” an active power … a devine force that operates on its own, expressing itself by means of ideomotor effect and its aspect automatic drawing

Anton Heyboer Dies

Uncrowned King of Angel Drawing Anton Heyboer died on april 9th 2005. Yvette, Evanne and me went to his funeral and bought an artwork at his gallery on that day. In my view the Indonesia born Dutch artist actually lived the art of spiritual communication, of automatism together with his 4 wives, Maria, Lotti, Marike and Joke. The man was permanently transcendent and lucidly so he was fully aware that he had reached the highest possible form of active enlightenment, consciously living love and existing in a state of insanity which he meant to escape doing art.

Famous artists doing automatic drawing and writing

Salvador Dali, André Breton, André Masson, Jean Arp, Austin Spare en many more world famous artists have all been experimenting with automatism. Automatism was the basis for the surrealist manifest, written in 1924 by Breton. Angel-drawing.com features all these artists, each on a sepatate webpage.

TIA group

Over the past five years I have made some friends doing the same or similar work as I do. Together we form the TIA group. Scroll down a bit and find the art of Nicholas Socrates Randy Joel Biroco John C. Wilson Michael Bevis Gregory von Seewald Yagihashi Tsukasa and have a good look at the work of some great artists doing automatic art experiments called angelic drawing.
