Meeting an artist

Is always nice to meet other fellow artists but to meet an old timer artist that do art just for the passion and been living with it for half of his life is kind of legendary. I never believe I get to have a chance to be part of the community or even get to know one. The reason I said so because most of the art community is pretty hard to join especially when your art is not part of their genre, or even get to google about it because they are very niche. Frankly speaking, when I tried to google Jan Hubinsky, all I can find is a fellow who do public speaking. But when I saw some of the open call, I can see his name as part of the judges, you get to have a pretty big name among the art community only can be a judge. So ya, I’m very lucky. I went to his vernissage and it was pretty grand. A lot of artists came but unfortunately for me, I don’t understand Slovak. So I only stay a while to greet and meet whoever I know. Here are some of the picture I took. Hope you enjoy.

A little bit of who is Jan Hubinsky. He is a self thought artist and his first solo exhibition is in 1990 at Trencin Museum. He did not set the direction or goal of his artistic journey in advance and he once said, "I'm not a planner in life or art. Spontaneity is close to me, I let myself be influenced by what life brings." His work mainly contain of ceramic sculpture and you can see his characteristic in his work are mainly humor side.
