Do you know VANIA ?

While i wrote the text about "art inconsequence" another great trainpainter came to my mind - VANIA . i remeber his works from ekosystem . he seemd one of the few how did abstract works back in 2000. A time when trains in south west of france been extremly painted. A friend of mine told me those days he had to look out for a free space on the commuters ... good old times. here a collection of his works via ekosystem.org

Book - art inconsequence

Till now i did not feature one of the best book about painted Trains - art inconsequence. Even it was published in 2006 , it seems still an alien in the world of writing based books.

The book consists of 2 main parts - A Book and a DVD. When i invited R.Kaltenhäsuer for a lecture in Dresden , he told me the book was original planned as a kind of booklet for the DVD, but finally ended up in a 140 pages book.

The book is a great collection of texts and pictures. Pictures of filmed works in the Video. Higher quality , then the DVD - Pal, and combined in a well done layout.

The texts are in german and english language - not only about trains. R. Kaltenhäuser made a collection of texts by artists like Hans Winkler ( p.t.t. red) or art historians, that refelct about legality & llegality of art or "visions in motion". While Publikat seems to throw out the book of their stock, i cannot understand , this book is a must for trainworks lovers. it is maybe the first bok about a theme that is not reflected in artworld , but maybe will soon more relevant then ever before. you can buy it here are at your favorite bookshop ;)

TALL&small by Shlomo Faber

"lot's of writers don't like to paint over doors. you can take pictues of the whole piece only when train arrives,leaves or is running. on the platform doors are open wide. i love thisinteraction especially those doors , which cover parts of trains outside. one of this interactions is TALL&small done in 2007 in Italy.":says Shlomo Faber - via

He is one of the really long & still active freight artists from Canada -LABRONA.I already showed one of his works earlier on this blog. this time i want to show more works of him , cause he is a really really active guy. well this is again his foto-account and if you like to read an interview with hime - arrested motion made one "AM: Can you tell us a little about yourself and your background? Labrona: Hi, I am an artist that goes by the moniker Labrona. I’m known for painting oil stick characters on trains that travel the North American rail system. My friend Other got me into painting trains around 1998 and I haven’t stopped since. Lately, I’ve been making a name for myself as a gallery artist." - continue here
