Thomas Von Arx

Good day, sunshine!
Yes, I was a teenager, when the Beatles had their best time. I was born 1955 in Zrich, Switzerland, but I am living since 1986 in this dark city called "Berlin" (but I like it!). Now I am looking forward to the Year 2010 'casuse I will be 55 then, & I like this number - & I hope I will be a real good artist at this time!

Recently I like ceramics! It is a really lovely material that you can form without too much pressure. Before I was working with wood most of the time, but that for you need a lot of power and agression! My aim is to create with my art someting like an icon, a clear picture that opens new spaces in the spirit of an observer - & that is not an easy job!

I was never student at an art-school. I was "learning" art, by working for galleries, Museums and Artists. So I was meeting Old Guys like Mario Merz and Master Szeemann, but many younger artists, when I was working for Kunstwerke Berlin or Eigen & Art at Berlin, too. The nicest show I could organce at the Kunstfaktor in Berlin (www.kunstfaktor.de).,
