steem is art for felix stoever
blockchain catalogue for the art of felix stoever
When thinking of fluorescent artiste felix stoever, the next thought is Jean Giraud or H.R. Giger. this is who felix,
quoted often as his inspiration. the large paintings, that traveled the world to be shown as "deco" around the world, have cult status in the respective musical scenes.
When felix died from cancer at the age of 38, he was extremely worried and sad about what would happen with this paintings. he cried a lot about this. family and friends were devastated. Nobody from his close circle knew how to deal with the situation. all of a sudden, he was just gone.
His fluorescent paintings, a world of an art, that maybe does not exist in the conventional circles of art, but an art that is fascinating and that spans globally from japan to costa-rica, canada to south-africa and of course, the 1990's goa trance scene in berlin!
felix studied physics at university since he was rejected at the art academy where he applied. it seems a legend that all good painters are rejected from art school, because they are "un-conventional". In his case, legend was even more concrete - it says that he was "the best in fluorescence" and "ingenious".
The decision, to publish #felixstoever here on the #steemit, and thereby giving it
- Context
- see Research by Stefanie de Winter, University of Leuven
- Story & Authenticity
- Function & Relevance
- Proof of reception
all of this will not go so quickly of course. the project to conserve felixs' art has already been running for about 9 months. so far we have:
- categorized all the paintings
- they were controlled by specialists of fluorescent art at the University of Leuven, Belgium.
- cover-story of music magazine
- organized 2 events where felix stoever paintings where shown together with 3D lightning show.
Steemit as the crypto-token to felix stoever paintings. we believe that one day will be able to create an art value driven user-issued-asset e.g. on Bitshares, to have Felix's paintings scripted in ownership to whoever may hold that token. any steem or other income will go into this token and therefore, the holder of this token. this will of course all depend on the value of the paintings and whether it is worth all the effort.
Our inspiration is the great "Van Gogh" who never sold a painting in his life!
family and friends of felix have been very supportive and together we even managed to have the parents at one of the events. they actually saw the 3d visual mappings of felixs' paintings, together with the bass music for the first time. the father, who sits in a wheelchair told me, "i can feel felix now, he is alive".
we know how much it means to the community, to see the paintings and felix's art live.
thank you!
