Huge Scandal has
struck the Hans Christian Andersen 2005 celebrations. 2005 has until this
day - 13 June 2005 - not been "a huge
cultural year devoted to Andersen, both in Denmark and worldwide".
Read more.Danes are fed up with 2005 and Hans Christian Andersen. No Danes are participating in the celebration activities. A huge scandal has struck the Hans Christian Andersen 2005 Foundation. The scandal has been front page news for several days recently. Due to a not profitable Grand Opening on the 2nd of April 2005, where it was found out that Tina Turner was hired as a last minute stand in for a substantial amount of money, about which the members of the board of the Hans Christian Andersen 2005 Foundation had no knowledge. The chairman of the Hans Christian Andersen 2005 Foundation, Mayor of Odense, Anker Boye, decided to resign on 30 May 2005. And. Secretary General Lars Seeberg has resigned as Secretary General after mutual agreement! There will be implemented a 5.8 million DKK cutback on projects. The cutbacks will affect about 20 projects. There will equally be implemented a 3.8 million DKK cutback on administration and marketing. What a nice start! Read the message from the Board. We hope, however, for business as usual... We hereby announce the logo and poster motif to the musical "The Swineherd" in 2006.  One of those are the Hans Christian Andersen Festival Plays in the Village of Funen in Odense. Every year a group of children performs a musical based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. In 2006 the fairy tale is "The Swineherd". We hereby announce the logo and poster motif to this musical 2006. Made by Asbjorn Lonvig - as usual. "Completely Excellent", Chairman of the Hans Christian Andersen Festival Plays, Jorn Erik Schreiner said about the 2006 logo. See the Swineherd, two of his pigs. See the ladies-in-waiting behind the fence. A lady-in-waiting is checking all the fuss through a hole in the fence. And it might be the emperor to the right behind the fence? Or, is it the princess? |
| The Pope
has died. I have made these drafts of sculptures to his remembrance.  "trinity I"
 "pray"  "thanks" Nothing more. Silence. |
The
great day has come: 2
April 2005 Hans Christian Andersen's bicentennial is celebrated in Denmark and all over the world. Poem of the day depicts many Danes' tiredness of all the fuss about Hans Christian Andersen. However, we sure understand the great marketing opportunity and sing along in the choir of enthusiasts.  200
years
all Danes say cheers but for heavens sake let's have a brake Other poems. Download the above motif in size 29,7 x 21 cm as a part of the celebration. And read my article "Once upon a time..." if you like. |

Appointed
member of International Society of Artists and Designers. The ARTROM GALLERY GUILD in
Rome, Italy.
 www.artromgallery.com The purpose of THE GUILD is: - showcase and promote outstanding artists and designers through the strong online presence of ARTROM Gallery worldwide. - to provide a support system for the advancement of those who demonstrate a passion and dedication for their chosen field of interest. Dear Asbjorn Lonvig, The Staff at ARTROM Gallery has met to view
your images.
We have also
visited your website and entered immediately into your world.
We are impressed with your ability to
simplify a concept into an image and concentrate it,
to include only what is necessary. In evaluating your work for its strong graphic content, we became aware of the size of the originals; they are all quite large and are acrylic on canvas. In viewing your works we discussed not only
their graphic content, but discussed them as paintings, as objects unto
themselves. Knowing that the images exist somewhere as
objects of that dimension is far different than looking at images
stored in some computer, regardless of how they were
created. One can appreciate the graphic illustrative/informative
quality of an image on a computer screen, but it stops there, until
you know more about the image as it exists in "real
life", and this adds another dimension to the work. It also
adds credibility to the commitment the artist has made to the image.
We feel that you believe in your commitment as an artist. This is one of the aspects we look for in our GUILD Members. When one believes in himself the message is clear. We are also interested in your
"Manifesto" below.
It's
about the fact that the art market is predicted to grow 3,5 times
because of the Internet.
It's about my decision to stake everything on the internet. It's about concentrating my efforts on the internet when it comes to sales. It's about my decision to make new standards and challenge art traditions by making my drafts on a computer and exhibit the drafts. And insist upon that a computer is nothing but a new tool. And insist upon that using a computer is as worthy as not doing it!!! Worthier???? We
would like to help you accomplish these things, and welcome you to
become a Member of ARTROM Gallery GUILD.

New exhibition in Tokyo, Japan at Artday Network  artday.org the International site in English jp.artday.org the site in Japanese Artday is a worldwide celebration of art scheduled to take place each year on the second day of July. Why July 2nd? Because it's at the very center of the year just as art is at the very center of the word "earth" as well as a central element in so many events in our lives. (Another neat trick: take the "h" in earth and put it up front and what do you get? Heart! Art's gotta have heart! Art's in our hearts?) The creators of artday, the artday network, are dedicated to democratic principles and faithfully ignore all differences in age, sex, race, religion and nationality. July 2 is off center in leap-years, so there are no artdays when February gets its extra day. And. Artday Network is among other things an online gallery with online exhibitions, there 2 of mine: Asbjorn Lonvig Gallery and For Children. Artday Network has it's own World ArtNews for which I have become a columnist. It too has Artist Salon, art Blog, Art Classified Ads, Event Calendar, Competition Guide, Art Site Directory and ArtistsBlog Headlines. Sure an interesting portal.

The Interactive Lecture ConceptToday I am excited.
Very excited! Tomorrow I'll make my first Interactive Lecture. The only thing I need is a projector and a fast line to the internet. The only thing I bring is myself. On the internet I have made 1950 web pages to choose from. And as every image on these pages represents one or several stories my lecture can go on for ever. In the past I have made a lot of lectures. In schools, in universities, in companies, in associations, in counties, in municipalities - you name it. I thought the preparations were very time-consuming and boring, and I often did not use the pictures, the slides, the transparents etc. etc. that I had prepared. Questions and remarks from the audience often altered the whole context of the lecture. Therefore the interactive lecture. My contact person has informed me about a theme of the lecture, so I know where to start. After that it is the dialog with the audience that guides us through the lecture. If the audience is not very active, I'll guide the audience. If the lecture moves too far away from the read thread in the theme, I'll make an invisible change of subject. It's sure demanding to do it this way. I have to be on the marks. But it doesn't matter, the quality of the lecture is enhanced enormously and sure I don't do it for free even if it's superb marketing. Next time, in the next artblog I'll keep you posted concerning my interactive lectures. My dream is that the interactive lecture will develop into a real Road show, traveling around from school to school, from university to university, from company to company, from.....to..... Making a lot of money by lecturing and making a superb marketing for myself and my art works at the same time!!!! My first Interactive Lecture There
was an audience.
There was a computer with fast internet. There was a projector. There was a "pilot" from the management - it might as well have been from the audience - to click on the computer. I enjoyed, that the only thing to bring was myself. The show started. I knew where to start and instantly the audience understood that the dialog guided us through the lecture. It was fantastic. After the lecture the managers praised my lecture into the skies. My new concept - Interactive Lecture - works!!!!!!!! |
The Interactive
Lecture concept got a logo today
I have made this logo to tell you that the lecture will probably not be boring.  "the lecturing owl" of course Published

| How
to communicate through pictures "Communiquer par l'images"  The French author Alain
Joannes has written a book on this subject. It is presented in March
2005 at the renowned "Salon du Livre" (Books Fair) in Paris. He has
written
the following about me - translated by himself from French.The jubilation feelings given by forms and colors of Asbjorn Lonvig The art of the Danish painter Asbjorn Lonvig communicates at the first glance euphoria in a rough state. A so intense euphoria that the glance can not move away from the piece of his art. Of course, the saturated colours are decisive in this very great glowing. The coloured dazzling and the feeling of pleasure which prolongs it have multiple causes. As adequacy between artistic creation and the constraints of communication, the art of Asbjorn Lonvig illustrates an assumption of neurocognitives sciences: the neurons in charge of visual perception are first activated by patterns recognition, then by colors recognition, then by recognition of textures and movements recognition. In a piece of art like "Soul hurting still ", the sensory impacts of the forms and the colors are very strong and equal. The pleasure comes from what the eye and the brain receive from the red, the yellow, the green and blue at the same time as they recognize the squares, the rectangles, the circles, the triangles, the straight and broken lines and even the letter “A”. The glance thus filled by a profusion of feelings founds a generating mental state of pleasure. After and beyond the primary emotion, in a second phase of contemplation, the spirit endeavours to confer an overall significance on the table. It calls upon its repertory of already memorized forms. Then, the pleasure becomes ludic. Functioning like a rebus, the chart of an unknown territory, a coded language or a mysterious diagram, the piece of art asks to the witness: " What am I ?" The many possible answers are mental resonances which give to the artistic communication a richness higher than all the other ways to communicate. This communication is intersubjective. It organizes the meeting between the subjectivity of the artist and the subjectivity of the witness. The witness of the piece of art is free to refer to tropical sensory prints: association of a dominating solar yellow, sky blue, deep vegetal green. He can also associate the table with an intimate collection of primitive art. He shall perhaps remember the geometrical abstractions of Kandinsky and Mondrian. Surely, the piece of art will be kept in the long memory space into the brain with all its resonances sensory, emotional, ludic and cultural. It is may be interesting to know that the joyfull impact piece of art by Asbjorn Lonvig is closely related to its is canvassed artistic. High level data processing specialist then head of a software company, the painter found serenity in a pictorial creation which starts with digital drafts and finds its completion on a support – frame and fabric - entirely conceived and manufactured by the artist. |

Bridging Europe
at Avenue des Peintres in Paris |
| The
painting "Bridging Europe" (to the right) is acrylic on canvas, 139 x
201 cm - that is 54.8 x 79.2 inches. It was inspired by the recent
election into the European Parliament situated in Brussels and
Strasbourg. I
have my own unique style of simple shapes and bright colors. I call it "Colorful Zen Simplicity". "Zen" because when I am
extremely lucky I might achieve
a "Simplicity" near divinity. The online gallery Avenue des Peintres, 17, rue Joubert, 75009 PARIS by Stéphane Soulmana exhibits a selection of 13 paintings. At the far right you can see thumbnails of "che guevara", "grand maitre", "champs elysee", "philosophy of life - blue" and "mediterranean seashore". Read more. |

 1080 Haight Streetin San Francisco The painting “1080 Haight Street” is acrylic on canvas, 201 x 139 cm – that is 79.2 x 54.8 inches. It was inspired by my two visits to San Francisco, having seen all the “painted ladies” of sorts, having seen Robin Williams portrayal of “Mrs. Doubtfire", and so much more! Recently, I was contacted by Gallery-Worldwide about a link exchange on my website. Gallery-Worldwide maintains a website representing very famous contemporary artists and their original art. After e-mail communications, Luba Dein, Gallery-Worldwide’s CEO and I began to think there could be more to our relationship. In 1973 I developed a software program that interested IBM so much, they came all the way to Denmark to meet me and praise my work. Now I am returning with my work to Silicon Valley as an Artist.

 Blue Sky - New YorkThe painting "blue sky" is acrylic on canvas, 201 x 139 cm - that is 79.2 x 54.8 inches. It is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece on Fifth Avenue. Guggenheim museum. Amazing how Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture is contemporary. In Chicago I saw several of his houses that looked as if they were built yesterday. One was from 1909. The very blue sky symbolizes divinity. Frank Lloyd Wright had a rare gift, sure. Divinity? "blue sky" is part of a number of paintings inspired from New York. An art dealer from New York asked me to let me inspire from perception. Read more. |

| The
LAURA-project Inuit Circumpolar Area culture and especially Greenlandish culture as inspiration to fairy tales in children's books The LAURA-project are fairy tales in children's books inspired by the Inuit Circumpolar Area culture especially the Greenlandish culture. A similar project is the LUCCA-project. I illustrate in simple shapes and bright colors and I write in simple shapes and bright colors. I'll write the online children's books in English and translate them myself into Danish. A Native American will check my English. The online children's books will furthermore be translated into Greenlandish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Dutch, Greek and Russian. Research of Inuit Circumpolar Area culture especially Greenlandish culture will last from 2004 to spring 2006. Starting 1 November 2004. I'll travel to Greenland in near future. Illustration and writing of 3 - 5 fairy tales will take place spring 2006 and end 30 June 2006. Read more. Mascot and logo for

The
first Inuit drafts of main characters The Inuits are the native inhabitants of the seacoasts of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America and the northeastern tip of Siberia. Their habitation area extends over four countries: the United States, Canada, Russia, and Greenland. Of the more than 90,000 Inuits in this region, the greater part live south of the Arctic Circle, with approximately 28,000 on the Aleutian Islands and in Alaska, 17,000 in Canada, 1,500 in Siberia, and 45,000 in Greenland. I have contacted ICC - the Inuit Circumpolar Committee - and asked that exact question.

Noosa in
Queensland Australia I was invited by Peter Alexandroff, Noosa Gallery, Queensland - the Australian East cost - to a review for exhibiting at 10 WORLD ARTISTS SHOW 2005 in Noosa in Queensland, Australia. Inspired by this I made "Noosa Queensland Exclusive Selection". The painting "kangaroo - blue" (to the left) is acrylic on canvas, 139 x 201 cm - that is 54.8 x 79.2 inches. Inspired from visiting a kangaroo farm south of Canberra. And a road sign. I was in Australia. We flew from Denmark to Bangkok. Bangkok to Singapore. Singapore to Sydney. By Quantas. By bus from Sydney to Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide. I flew to Alice Springs and Cairns. And collected a lot of motifs. The kangaroo, of course. The colorful fish in Great Barrier Reef. Daintree Forest. The koalas. The penguins on Philip Island. The Sydney Opera House etc. I was very impressed by the Australian Native Art. Earthen colors. Therefore every single motif in "Noosa Queensland Exclusive Selection" has been transformed into Australian Native Art earthen colors, too. Read more. |

  Children's
Books OnlineThe LUCCA-project - short multicultural fairy tales to download and print  Octo-Pus
and Crab-Mac-Claw are main characters in a number of fairy
tales. The
fairy tales are made to my grandchild Lucca and children all over the
world. The keywords
are mutual
understanding through
mutual inspiration.
The fairy tales are translated into English,
French, German, Italian, Chinese and Danish by human translators. The
fairy tales are translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese,
Greek, Russian and Dutch by computer translation. Besides children's
books online there are coloring books, slide shows, mini-posters,
T-shirt transfers etc. In Hartford, Connecticut and in Calusa Elementary School, Boca Raton in Florida they use the online children's books and the coloring books in school and preschool. The Memphis TN based web site Internet4classrooms.com has ranked the fairy tales as number one in the category "General foreign language resources". The result is heavy use of the fairy tales by Internet4classroom.com's users. SitesForTeachers.com in Tucson, AZ, which is a list of the best teacher's resource and educational sites on the net and DayCareResource.com, that focus on preschoolers and kindergarteners in all US states use the LUCCA-project every day. The publisher Pumpkin House in Columbus, Ohio has the fairy tales on the main page. Children's Museums use the LUCCA-project, too. And then Cecelia Routsaw - Grandmother of 15 - form Greenville in Michigan wrote to me about my fairy tales: I only have one word that best describes these books: "Awesome". Thanks

| Danish Industry Regional Initiative Price
2004 in Vejle County to Easy Food Over the years I have made an art work to the price winning company Danish Industry is a union af all Danish industrial companies. Every year a price is given to a company that has shown outstanding initiative over the years. It is called The Regional Initiative Price - Vejle County. I visit the company to seek inspiration. This year I had a very fruitful meeting with the CEO Flemming Paarch. There were many interesting issues. For instance Easy Food makes bread to McDonald's. Easy Food has very strict hygiene security precautions in the factory. But what I found most interesting was Easy Food's HR policy. "Diversity
is our strength".
I knew at once I had to make a puzzle.If you want further information about the symbolism, please ask. The price was handed over to CEO Flemming Paarch by chairman of the board in Danish Industry, Svend Haargaard at a celebration in the factory 28 October 2004. Everybody praised the puzzle and the symbolism behind the puzzle. "Bulls Eye", the CEO said. Contact me. |

| PEOPLE AT WWAR.COM Markus Kruse, President and Founder  After a decade of national and
international curatorial and gallery activities Markus Kruse discovered
the impact of the early World Wide Web:
"When I first started to work with the Internet in 1993, I was struck by the lack of visual art within that medium. So, I started collecting a few art links and began publishing my curated exhibitions on the early www as part of any exhibition program. All of a sudden national exhibitions were propelled into an international arena. Some retrospective exhibitions such as 'Roy-Lichtenstein Pre-Pop' actually had more visitors from via the web. I began to understand the impact and importance of the globalization of the visual arts via this medium. I guess it started snowballing from there... I love the ever changing nature and challenges of this type of work." Markus' in-depth knowledge of the visual arts as well as his expertise in Internet activities bring together two areas that often cannot be found when taking a scrutinizing look at Internet based Arts companies. Markus holds a B.A. in Art History from Wittenberg University, an M.A. in Arts Administration/Art Education and a Ph.D. in Art Education from The Ohio State University. When
not at work you can find Markus on the Outer Banks in North Carolina
windsurfing, traveling back to his original hometown Berlin, Germany,
or riding his R90, and often on a ladder restoring his over 110 year
old house. |

Colorful Zen
Simplicity Portrait Painting Dogma Colorful Zen Simplicity in portrait painting is the concept of extracting face shapes and face shadows in gray nuances and black and white. The gray nuances and black and white is placed on a white or a black background. That's the Colorful Zen Simplicity Portrait Painting Concept. The Colorful Zen Simplicity Portrait Painting Dogma if you like. The concept is developed by my son Morten Lonvig. To make it simple you might call it Morten's Dogma. Use of other colors for instance blue and red is possible - but high aesthetic caution is recommended. This is the procedure: A digital image is made of the person who's portrait is to be painted. I'll make the portrait ready for painting so that the customer can see exactly how the painted result will be - including placement, size, colors, posterizing, brightness adjustment, contrast adjustment etc. etc. Book of Records On 10th November 2003 there were 30,558 on AbsoluteArts due to featuring of the baby carriage from the fairy tale "The Baby Carriage and Sleep-Sheep".

| "H2O" from BG Bank to the waterworks How was it made? At first I have to do some research. And have an idea. I ride my bike the same tour every day. It takes an hour or an hour and a half depending on the weather, my legs etc. My tour goes through the huge metallic sculpture symbolizing two giant Hs in Hedensted. I ride the tour despite of rain and storm. One day I got the idea, it had to be the chemical formula of water: H2O The two H's in the sculpture refers to the city of Hedensted: H2 And the fresh air and all the oxygen I need on my rides gives the: O I make a draft in my head – that's why I always work in simple shapes – and then I draw it on my computer , when I return home. I send an e-mail pointing to a web page with the drawing to the customer and ask if that's it? If it is, I do the original. In this case it is a 80 x 80 cm collage. In other cases it might be a painting, a sculpture, a....... For collages I have preprinted silk screen printed paper in red, yellow, green and blue. I have white and black, too. Every single color is cut out and mounted on the collage. During this process I make corrections to the motif. When
I am happy with the outcome, I sign the collage with my name I
frame it, and now I have to stop, |
