For my invitation to participate within the Art/X/Toyama 2022 - 9th Toyama International Contemporary Art Exhibition in Uozu-City in Japan, I
submitted the installation - James Ensor Afterparty - total size
360x275 cm - 2022 - a part of the Revival of the Fittest installation. An homage as well as a reflection on the colorful,
fancy, strange, carnivalesque, masks, puppetry, skeletons, and fantastic
allegories that are dominant in Ensor's mature work. Relaunching his
work into the 21st century as a sobered and grey reflection on the
current times we are living, plagued with pandemics, global warming,
greed, crime, wars, terrorism, child abuse and more. The Art/X/Toyama 2022 exhibition, took place from April 30, 2022 till May 8, 2022 at Shingawa Cultural Hall - 〒937-0853 - Toyama Prefecture 110 宮津 Uozu-City in Japan.
