Tymon Ferenc de Laat, some info

I have spent the last 10 years concentrating on painting designs & customizing denim. In the last 3 I have concentrated more on my painting career & continued to build up my networks within Rotterdam city centre, which has resulted in a big upturn in sales of my paintings, as well as press interest.

In 2007 I had an exposition in Off Corso nightclub in Rotterdam of which the main focus (a 2.5 x 5.5 painting of the pope giving away condoms with the message 'Forgive Me' made out of 1500 Cardinal Condoms drew a lot of press attention and the turn out was impressive.

Since then I have been trying to grow my recognition base & have been working on my contacts within many stores in the city centre. I now have my paintings been shown on over 8 stores throughout the city which has greatly helped the aim of recognition. I have in turn received many private projects such as working on several community projects including painting porter cabins for Stichting U-Behave & making 3d objects for the Gemeente Schiedam Oost for a children’s park project. Requests for my original work have been steady & constant also including a request from Edwin Evers for a custom made T-shirt. I have also been approached by Southern Comfort to do a series of Live Paints in bars around the city which has lead to other Live Paint jobs including the promotion of theatre at the Schouwburg Rotterdam. I am also approached for murals & personal design in housing.

I have also been picked up by some galleries & have a number of works being displayed at The Spui Straat in Amsterdam as well as Gallery Barbara Joy Smit in Wateringen.

My main goal right now is to continue to build on my reputation & be inspired by my every day surroundings to create new collections & paintings. I want to bring art & commercialism closer together by working with corporate companies & the every day consumer to bring the gap closer. I want to make art more accessible.

Great Picture of Ha Long Bay, shame the weather for us wasn't as good as yours. Great website interface by the way

Door Mike van pagina Vietnam scenery

Hello,

We met in Ha Long Bay. I was with a friend and we are both computer programmers. One thing I noticed on your website is a security breach. I can easily save/copy you priceless pictures. you need to watermark your photos.

Sincerely,

Jean-Claude Tounkara
