Haarlem.
Keep an eye out for Jan’s upcoming book of poems to be released by the

Boris Klerxx- Artist/Musician/ Poet- undefinable and somewhat
unreliable-
the raw talent of this young man is yet to be fully seen- relocated to
Enschede- in the mix of the an art education – Boris Klerxx is a piece
of
work.
Artists
Featured here in the Library Gallery are works by
Painters Frank A. And Thijs R.
A combination of disciplines ranging from street art to a more refined
studio style.
Both artists have recently showcased their works alongside the
established
QuasiRealist group here in Haarlem.
Works featured here are to be seen every Sunday in the month of Febuary
in
the Patronaat during the Club Funday.
Roberto
The stark black and white images that Haarlem Artist Roberto creates
are
reflections of his day to day life. A frequent contributor to the
Smecht,
Roberto keeps a daily illustarted journal of his life, a sort graphic
novel
of his own existence- hopefully soon to be showcase here.
Baumgarten
- Some call them Mindmaps- while others dimiss them as doodles-
Baumgarten
sees them as ways to escape the noise of the television and allows the
pen
to process the chaos.
