'Fear in Fukushima' - from Guido Vermeulen Belgium.

Frightened Bird. This is the first mail art correspondence I have received from Guido – and the first from Belgium. He describes his expressive painting on the envelope as his “4^th painting on the haunting situation of Fukushima".

I used ‘expressive’ to denote Guido’s use of exaggeration and distortion because I am reminded of van Gogh who used line and color to express “man’s terrible passions”. Our ever all consuming search for energy. It’s a dangerous passion. Haunting. Absolutely. Thank you Guido. Guido has a project on IUOMA – The Book of Ann – the 12 FRIOUR project. His site for more information http://thebookofAnn.blogspot.com

Thanks Guido – its great to be trading.
