was at the painting exhibitions tonite at TCC, The Gallery by this artist Einstein Kristiansen. it's was quite an experience meeting him in person. Someone really himself like he was on TV. Unfortunately, i couldn't snapped any pictures of his artworks. but at least got a picture of him up there.

Cartoonist Einstein hates it when he is referred to as an art clown, or if his work is dismissed as "child's play, not art". This is the number one voice against the boundaries and the elitist nature of the art world - Einstein's mission as a practising artist is to demonstrate that creativity exists everywhere, and cannot be boxed into neat categories of fine art, cartoons, etc. This well-read scholar of the arts has long been interested in trying his hand at anything new and in Infusion, he takes on the challenge of learning print-making. A difficult process, he is taken through it by Singapore's leading print making institute, The Tyler Print Institute and learns how to make prints of his wild and weird flights of fantasy. Because print making is a delicate process of pressure being applied to the surface of the painting. Einstein will proceed to test prints under 2 very different types of pressure : one by driving a truck over a painting, the other by having an elephant from the zoo sit on it!
