Singing Paintings Unplugged
CONCERT - SHOW - AUCTION
30.8/31.8/1.9.2024 in Heim.art in Neufelden (AT)
Additionally, there will be an online auction of Martyn's paintings starting on the 2nd of September, for anyone not able to attend the events!
Martyn Jacques, master-mind of the Tiger Lillies, has completed extensive concert tours with countless performances over the decades. He always painted in secret “so as not to go crazy”, as he himself says, and to calm down from the adrenaline of the performances. In his studios in Athens and Berlin, countless pictures were created that are now seeing the light of day for the first time. The pictures are like his songs and mostly tell strange, dark and humorous stories. Martyn paints soul pictures, that is, pictures that the soul would paint if it could.
He doesn't see the world in pastel colors and ethereal, but rather as garish, brightly colored, carnal, drunken, absurd, melancholic, angry, sardonically laughing, vulnerable and murderous at the same time.
Approximately 70 of these pictures will be exhibited in the Heim.Art®️ station and offered and auctioned as part of a fundraising auction staged as a show for the Ukrainian/Polish film festival UKRAINAFF.
This way, the works of art once again become positive impulses for life.
Martyn Jacques sings unplugged songs to his pictures, the Berlin director and actor Martin Engler leads the surprising program as auction man.
Come, don’t miss this unique opportunity.
