Just come back from quick trip to Bochum, Germany, where 2 of my recent paintings are in an exhibition for 2 months in a ‘friends and family’ exhibition.
I was happy to find that, though I tried to speak German, most of the people I spoke to knew some English and best of all, while having lunch (lunch at an opening – does this ever happen in the uk?) at the opening I met Silvia, a Fine Art and English degree student who’s at the same stage of her degree as I am. It was very exciting to hear how things work in Germany and to see such wonderful support for visual artists by the company. I’m very glad I took part in this.
