A portrait without a face. Just bronzer-orange, a red tie, and slogans like:
“I am the chosen one.”
“My IQ is one of the highest.”
When emptiness wears makeup, it becomes power. (Second only to the Pope).

🎨 From CoBrA’s wild colors to Nordic myths — Bengt Lindström’s art screams off the canvas.
Visceral energy, ancestral faces, rebellion in every stroke.

Sometimes words fail,but a single stroke can speak the world.

Artist Christian Dotremont didn’t just write poetry he painted it. ‘Logogrammes’ fused language and image,from CoBrA’s fire and Lapland’s silence

Pierre Alechinsky didn’t just paint — he let the margins speak.

hWhy did the art world forget Guillaume Corneille?
He co-founded COBRA, painted like a child, dreamed like a poet, and turned rebellion into joy.
It’s time to remember him.

Karel Appel wasn’t just a painter. He was a storm of color, fear, and freedom.

🎨 Why Art Is Losing Its Cultural Power

Mega-galleries = gatekeepers
Shock > Substance
Virality > Vision

Art isn't dead. It's trapped in a system that erases honesty.

No gallery wanted to exhibit it. Too honest. Too raw. Too “sensitive.” So I’m showing it here. Because 50,000 children deserve more than silence.
