Jef Bourgeau by Jan van der Marck

An 8 minute edit from a 30 minute PBS interview with Jan van der Marck: discussing the art of Jef Bourgeau.

A Moon Shot

A bit of a change-up from the abstraction of late.

SHREDDED HIRST

I came across this one tonight in the storage room - from the kaBOOM! show a while back. And am uploading it now due to current facebook talks about the notion of having just "one" retrospective and what does that mean anyway.

Hirst had one in 2003 for Saatchi; then another this year in Kiev titled "Requiem".

Screw it... This is the age of excess and over-exposure! We should all go for an even dozen.

And so, on topic, I remember and brought this one up too: from a piece published in FLASH ART in 1999 (titled, CONNECTING HIRST'S DOTS).

Art for Sale

This is another work in Bourgeau's current series of Anachronistic-futurism. Don't ask.

Today's Art

Another in the latest series, which will be on exhibition soon in fact -- my first solo show in over a decade. The last was in 1995 I think at David Klein's. Been working undercover since then. We'll have to have a coming out party.
