Biennale de Narbonne 2012

Self Portrait: Breathe at Chapel of the Pénitents Bleus



Association Aud'Aquarelle presented the Biennale Internationale d'Aquarelle in Narbonne, France, October 3-28. The exhibition comprised the work of thirteen invited artists and a number of others who applied, spread across seven historic venues in the city. Several hundred people attended the opening, and combined with the other events, a total of 33,000 visitors.

It was very nice to see Breathe displayed in the chapel, along with five other paintings of mine. I'm sorry prior commitments prevented me from attending, but if I'm lucky enough to be invited again, I will surely be there!




The Art of Watercolour has a feature about the exhibition in the current issue, and included a photo of the chapel paintings, as well as Xin Jin #4


                                                                                                                                                                   
A huge merci beaucoup! to the Aud'Aquarelle committee, Inger and Anders Myren, Janine Gallizia, and the dozens of volunteers and sponsors (including Escoda) who made the event such a success.
