When we left Uruguay in March 2020, we had no idea that it would take almost 20 months to get back. Corona, what else.Our car had survived the break rather well and our next destination was auenos Aires. The ferry only transports vehicles up to 3.10m high, the next border crossing in fray bentos is about 200 km upriver, but this is still closed to tourists in the direction of argentina, so we had to drive another 250km upriver to salto for the border crossing and the whole distance on the argentine side back again.

Susannah was born into a new york artistic family and studied in this metropolis before coming to frankfurt. Here she developed a very own but still classical style of painting and celebrates great success in numerous exhibitions. The context of man and nature is reinterpreted and here is her statement on the approach:

“While working on my first pictures of nude figures in the landscape, I very quickly realised how strange the present man seems outdoors in the nature. He just didn’t seem to fit in anymore, and so this aspect slowly became my theme: Nature as theun-home (anti-home) of man. Then came the day when I incorporated the first plastic toy into a painting. Suddenly, I felt, man no longer seemed alienated. And it wasn’t just me, viewers also felt a stronger connection with the images.” Man’s relationship with nature is not yet completely lost; brightly coloured balloons, plastic guns and sticky-sweet candy snakes can still save it.

some impressions from frankfurt / germany

René Holm is one of Denmark’s most established contemporary artists and has been shown for years at fairs from Miami, Basel and New York, many solo exhibitions at galleries in Denmark, Germany and France. Again and again Holm takes up existential Themes and locates Them in nature. Frequent Humans appears as themselves in Rene’ Holm’s paintings, sometimes however only by Human traces. The backdtop is often a slightly threatening Dark forest.

Quote from daniel lichterwaldt.

We were lucky enough to meet rené in his dependance in berlin and i hope to take a portrait of him at work on our next visit.

this mountain is the rubble hill of berlin and was piled up after the 2nd world war. the american military built a large listening facility on it, which is now a “lost place” and can be visited for an entrance fee. The large graffiti artworks are particularly interesting.

world traveler meeting

because of corona our motorhome is stored in uruguay since more than 1,5 years and so we enjoyed – also this year – the meeting with friends

Since 15 months it´s not possible to travel to our truck in uruguay due to corona restrictions. Therefore we rented a camper and went to Croatia. Here are a few impressions.
