THE BLOG AT THE CROSSROADS
Kevin O’Neill in Brussels & Paris
Posted: December 17, 2011
I am just back in London Saturday night after joining Kevin O’Neill for the private views of his first major selling exhibitions of his original artworks from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, first in Brussels on Thursday 15th at Galerie Champaka, and last night, Friday 16th, at Galerie 9eme Art in Paris. Click here for some photos of Kevin, the centre of attention of course at the opening in Brussels, and here is one I took in Paris, a highlight when Kevin finally met the brilliant Argentinian-born comic artist José Munoz. The two of them got on really well, laughing about how José, initially an assistant at the Solano Lopez Studio in Buenos Aires, would try to sneak in forbidden artist credits into the thirty pages of comic art which were being supplied each week to IPC by Lopez’s studio - by hiding them in shrubbery or stonework - and how Kevin, who started at IPC aged 16, was given his first job of scouring these pages and white-ing out these offending hidden signatures! Both selling exhibitions continue till the end of this year and will carry on after on line via both galleries’ websites. Response was extremely positive, as proved by the estimate of about 60,000 euros of artwork already sold on the two first nights alone.
