THIS IS PERHAPS THE WEIRDEST SURREAL TAKE ON KASPAR HAUSER

I came upon this by chance on Facebook. It ties in with the surreal visons you would find in the descriptions under my painting BOGOMIL'S CEREMONIAL STAGE: CASPAR AND HIS PROPS

 
SYNOPSIS
In Sardinia, in an abstract dimension without place or time, a body arrives on a beach: it is Kaspar Hauser, a young heir to the throne kept hidden from an early age to prevent him from reigning. The island is inhabited by only 5 characters: the Grand Duchess, who became queen, the Dragon, her humble servant, the Dark Man, the Duchess's handyman, the Seer and the Sheriff. Kaspar Hauser will be looked after by the Sheriff and will soon learn who to trust or not.

CAST

​The  Arts and Entertainment Center (CAE) was opened in 2002. Large cultural structure (2 200 and 800 seat auditoriums - outdoor amphitheater, foyer, breakout rooms, studios, 4 exhibition halls) was thought of as a centrality with European Community funds and its programming tends to go through major national and international shows and this structure is also linked to other programming centers and events, in an anchor logic that disperses without losing continuity.

 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.

​I have other boards also, you can see them here:
