From Chicago,2004 to Den Haag,2006
since the two Chicago art shows,2004 till Den Haag's Holland Art Fair,2006
artist Antonio Pessoa has been exhibiting his Romantic Period artworks mainly in fancy five stars hotels in France,Spain and Portugal.
one of the main reasons for this choice, is-as far as we know - the artist's clear reluctance to commit himself to the eventual whims of any art gallery...unless the deal at stake fits his very personal idea of how his project plus the general progression of his professional life must be managed,handled and obviously promoted.
a difficult sort of artist,this lad named Antonio Pessoa...or should I say,
Sir Antonio Pessoa????
the strangest artist on Earth...one could claim and complain.
keep on kicking about,friends,make a formal accusation...he couldn't care less,believe me!
while most of the artists struggle to get through the crowd...so very often in the endless breathtaking attept to achieve something...
...Sir Antonio Pessoa seems to have writen on his face "THE HARDER THE CONFLICT THE MORE GLORIOUS THE TRIUMPH!!"
what do you know!!!
if it happens you're thinking he's kind of weird,playing the bloody waiting game...having a stormy burst of laughter out of his waggish behavior,you're stiff wrong.´
...Sir Antonio Pessoa,the great communicator but also the great pain in the ass...is no perverted nor a snobbish jerk,not that,never,definitely not.
on the contrary the artist is a sharp first rate professional who knows exactly what he wants,(his way!!!)...how he wants it and where he wishes to go.
...and a fair good investment...that's the final conclusion many art collectors are jumping to these days...!
