Street Art
Like them, I admire the artworks of the artist (wearing brown jacket, blue bonnet). I have passed more than a couple of times looking for the right opportunity to click my camera. He seems against people photographing his works, I had simply clicked the camera while it was on top of my son's stroller. We passed by in a breeze and was I glad I did caught them actually - in frame.
This man draws portraits-on-the-spot...if customers do not carry a photo with them, they sit (notice the partly shown white chair) and pose for the artist, in the middle of the plaza!
I remember from a conversation with the artist that he said he comes from Vietnam.

People seem to be very interested. What's the medium? I can't tell.
ReplyDeleteI hope they make enough money, at the end of each day.
Those art pieces are beautiful! I wonder if those people bought any of his work?
ReplyDeleteHe probably does not want photographs of himself at all. Looks like a nice outing for the family.
ReplyDeleteI think its mixed-media Fenix...I was drawn to look because of how he made those dancing figures...
ReplyDeleteThe portrait artist gets 20Euros a portrait....not badif he makes 5 in a day...
Yes, Ann perhaps they did, the works were noticeable even if they are on street display only.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Isadora, but I hope he does not get angry when he sees this...=D
ReplyDeletelots happening on the streets of Vienna.
ReplyDeletedid you know that in bosnian language for Vienna we say Bec(h) =)
Hmm..thanks for the info Jazzy...I got a co-worker back then who comes from Bosnia but she never mentioned...we always chat a lot though. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a cooling afternoon.. strolling on a beautiful piazza filled with arts and crafts and other interesting stuff :)
ReplyDeleteYes, murphy_jay, speaking of interesting, I'd post some more later! =)
ReplyDeletePhotographing artists in action is a fun challenge. I've had mixed results. Some artists are totally cool with it and others aren't so happy. I try to win them over by telling them my grandmother was an artist (which she was); that sometimes works.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures!
Thanks Janet! I'll try that...hmm...but only hubby is the artist here...=D
ReplyDeleteThe one the top attracts a lot of tourists! I like the portrait artists a lot. It's amazing how fast, talented and precise they are to reproduce a portrait. It's fun to watch as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely art and I'm so glad you had that camera on top of your stroller!!! Good job!

Do you think they can finish 5 in a day Dorothee? Then they really have enough to spend if they do. Thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't so obvious on top of the stroller Pat. Good thing though baby wasn't moving much. =) Good day!
