Hello virtual friends. First of all, thank you thank you for adding me to your list. And forgive me for not being a very virtual communicator. I remain convinced that nothing beats a real encounter. 

Also, the Open Days of the Northern Artists’ Workshops are an opportunity to meet (or start a discussion). If you are in the Dunkirk region, let's take advantage of these 3 days to meet and talk. 

And if that's not possible, let's relaunch a more real virtual one. Let's create joint projects...I wish you all continued creativity because more than ever we have a place to play in this troubled world. 

Take care of yourself.

"Don't look for the exceptional, I am not!" This is how the French collagist artist Kerkhove Dominique alias DomKcollages presents himself. His collages are for him "MadeReady" which he classifies in a personal movement which he calls "ArtBatard or Badart"! Hidden son of the New Realists, "ArtBatard or Badart" is defined by the actions of the artist which delimit the movement, the surface and the process: strolling in an urban context (city, metro), recovery-appropriation-take-off of the artist with the aim of creating (assembly-composition-collage) a MadeReady from fragments of other pre-existing works or having heterogeneous from different sources sometimes (poster, book, newspapers, etc.). The "ArtBatard or Badart" does not deny its origins. Better. He accommodates it and creates a positive artistic oedipus. Where the mixing of different movements (New Realism, Art Brut, Appropriation Art, Mash Up, etc.) generates an original creative act without prejudices and in the service of a critical look at our society !
