Old and New 

My permanent Exhibition in Florence, Italy

Is about

Titled Fung On,

A meeting of Peace

An international language centre

Is a show I put on at Lexis,

In 1993

Thanks to my friends Francesco, Memma, Larry

The show has been going on all these years

On 74 Via Gioberti

Before this show, a number of one person shows were held regularly at the same place

Thanks also to other friends , Elisabetta and Mark

Those were the old days

But revisiting them gave me joy and inspiration 

As if

I am young again

Now that I am on vacation in Florence 

I could only do some small still lifes

But I enjoyed doing them

And see still life paintings as a revisiting journey

Of painting languages

Painting indeed is another language

It has its own tones and rhythm

Like poetry

It says and it says not

To put the painting sideways

We are like zen masters

Awaken

No longer attached

As the new grammar

To the previous grammar

The new language

Lies

Simply 

On a new vision

May God bless all painters

Merry Christmas 

And

Happy painting
