![]() Hi and hello,
My name is Chris Bleicher -
Welcome to my art pages.
About me in brief: My art is my passion and is inspired by my many exotic travels: Africa, Asia, Canada, China, Caribbean, India, Middle- and South America, South Seas and the USA. A few years ago South Korea is added. The first trip there with neon art in the luggage was also adventurous because nobody spoke English. Communication with the museum people was just possible with translation app here. Through my artwork I want to express "joy of living", stimulate the fantasy and promote a positive attitude with colors and shapes. I believe in experiamentalism, exposing in my art the exotic, erotic, ecological and humorous. I am generally the zeitgeist 8-15 years ahead, for example I am the first (neon) artist in Germany who started to paint (animal) urns & (animal) coffins: Urn Art. I was also with my LiveCam project "peepart" 17 years ahead of today's current trend "World Live on the Net"! I don't have a leisure time in the conventional sense, as my profession is my free time. I find time to keep my body fit, because an esthetic body has a special fascination for me as an artist. I like to visit ballet performances to study the beautifully shaped and defined bodies in motion. Female and male eroticism, too, plays a role in my art. The stimulant for the erotic comes from of life. Of particular interest are fringe groups. Any incident inspires my art. Since more than 18 years I have shown commitment for preserving nature in combination with technology. I love people and animals. Today an intact nature is more important than ever before for the next generations. For over 20 years I have been campaigning for the preservation of nature - in connection with technology - with numerous campaigns and happenings in the media. I love people and animals. Today, intact nature is more important than ever for our next generations. In addition, there was voluntary work with 6-10 year old children at a municipal daycare center and the support of Brillen Weltweit (Eyewear Worldwide) with my glasses collection here
Yours, | |
