I am happy to have been selected to participate in this exhibition in honor of Serbian artist Milena Barilli  I am participating in this invitational exhibition in honor of Serbian artist Milena Pavlovic Barilli with one painting and one drawing. https://www.culturalplaces.com/tour/the-gallery-of-milena-pavlovic-barilli Official opening is on November 5th, the birthday of the artist. The exhibition will be opened by Dijana Metlic, art historian, Snezana Petrovic, artist and selector for this years event, and Vladimir Dunjic, artist who won the top prize last year. Milena Pavlović Barili was one of the most prominent Serbian artists of the first half of 20th century. She was well acclaimed in artistic circles of Europe and USA. The gallery houses nice selection of here works from all the periods of her short life including posters and covers she did for Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and other famous magazines and some of her personal belongings. The gallery is open from 7 to 15h from Tue till Fri and from 8 to 16h on Sat. I am participating with these two works - both completed in 2023 - a drawing and a acrylic painting
On Saturday, October 7th 2023 my friend Artist Shahram Alizadeh opened his atelier for a group show of fantastic artists, where I had the opportunity to participate with some of my artwork. The display will be open-ended, that is, I can exchange my work with other pieces at any time. This is both Shahram's atelier as well as a showroom for his artist friends.
On Tiktok I made a vide from clips and photos that Shahram provided, adding special effects (and the 'obligatory selfie' at the end, which is a transition creation from Dreamwombo. The charcoal drawing of 'Nubian Kore' is not in the video, but it is displayed in the back room part, whereas the other two are in the front room.
In connection with the OPEN STUDIO at the KUNSTQUARTIER WIEN MEIDLING, a selection of artwork from our house was placed at the nearby Cafe Cosmos which will be there for about two or three weeks. The Open Studio was held on September 30th 2023 and was quite a success.   WALDRAPP'S TOMB This was my OPEN STUDIO at the KQWM   Yesterday I received a Email from my POD Merchandise ART OF WHERE to inform me that the associated web page for my products will not be maintained anymore after April 2023. This announcement came via Mailchimp. It is a bit frustrating - on Facebook I wrote: According to the latest update from my AOW Print-on-Demand place, the store web page will no longer be maintained after April 2023. I would have to host my own store (pages?) on my own website, or else join Etsy or Shopify to offer my products via API from AOW. All rather complicated and time-consuming work to make those changes. This is frustrating. For anyone to check out within the next few weeks, here is my existing store on the AOW website that will be no more after a month (get it while it lasts - I will still be able to sell my creations, but have to make other arrangements): MY AOW STORE PAGE ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPP  After some time of being idle, I just recently created a number of items so maybe check them out while my store page is still up. Still available to order from my store page until end of April.

On the right sidebar you may see similar merchandise advertised that I have in my Zazzle Stores, and also in my RageOn Store where masks are available. Both of these Stores are US based. 
I have been a member on Pinterest for several years now, and had created some boards that highlight not only my art, but also many different interests. The first board I published already in 2015 was "Fantastic Art by my Friends" - here I show you my artwork, posted on the board from a variety of sources, so you may find work that is not on my website here or otherwise easy to find.
A new product I launched on Zazzle!

This for starters, there will be more added soon.
