Disappearances 14, 2015

Oil on canvas, 30 x 40 in, framed contact Allois Studios (allois@allois.com)

Disappearances 14. I smiled as I watched my children build this sand castle, they never finished it because kids never finish anything. Kids think they have all the time they need in front of them… This was the last Castle they ever built, soon thereafter Humans came to our island and started building our homes and our castles for us. Humans called my children Trolls and for some reason they though that we live only under the bridges. Go figure! Simpletons, but tame and hard-working creatures they are! These Humans always had enough sense not to come close to our Last Castle. I am the one who oversees the Castle and the Land, once a century this is the place for The Family Gathering. We talk, we drink, we laugh, we dance, all the windows are lit and all the skies are set for spectacular fireworks! Everyone is invited, but Human creatures never come to the party, they must be afraid of the Storm and an occasional earthquake when the Party gets going! When in the morning I tuck my grandchildren to bed, I warn them of these Humans, of becoming like them: always unhappy, always afraid. (Allois and Jörge)

Monique, 2015

The story behind the painting:

I am Monique, I am The Beauty of this world. Humans know about me, the chosen few are allowed to see me in their dreams. Symphonies, sonnets, sculptures and paintings are the reflection of these dreams. You can find my portraits in the museums all over the world, some artists  do not forget about by favorite pet Frosty, he is a guardian of my beauty.  (Allois and Jörge)

The story behind the painting: 

Lorry and Wilfred. We are the travelers of this world, we traveled for as long as we remember ourselves and we shall travel for as long as we live. Only once in our lifetimes we visited our hometown, and that is where we found our True Love. We found each other! Now we travel together.  (Allois and Jörge)

 

Marcy, 2016

The story behind the painting: 

Marcy. Sweet Assault. Welcome Home, my darling! I will pour you a glass of sweet honey from my wild honeybees, I will bath you in the crystal waters of my mountain stream, I will sing you my songs of loneliness and devotion. And if you ever betray me, my wild bees will kill you! You are safe with me, my Love! (Allois and Jörge)

Simone, 2015

The story behind the painting: 

Simone. My name is Simone, but neighbors call me “The Listener”. I live on Corsica, away from the great Concert Halls and Opera Houses, I listen to the Wind, to the Birds, to the Sea. They sing to me and I sing to them, I never sing to humans. Our singing keeps our island safe. (Allois and Jörge)

The Theater of Earth

 

Oil on gesso panel, 40 x 30 in, framed, private collection of Hollywood luminaries and public figures Gabrielle & Christophe Choo

The Theater of Earth. This is my latest painting from The Floating Kingdom series. Painting was inspired by a fleeting encounter with a wonderful couple. Two creatures of power and fine attributes are enjoying their night out at the theater. They are watching a new channel, a non-stop reality show broadcasted from the Earth. Our couple is mildly interested in this new program, but you can tell that they are not really concerned about its outcome or happy endings for the characters (called Humans). They are happy being next to each other and their love fills the painting with an aura of happiness. (Allois and Jörge)

Christopher and Gabrielle. I am the Princess and I am in love! I have been in love all my life, and it was true and selfless love, it was my Love to myself! My Love came easy to me because I am beautiful, I am inhumanly smart, and my accomplishments are the base for a few urban legends. But my True Love and my greatest accomplishment is my Love to my husband! I do not talk to my fellow humans about my new Love for the same reason I do not discuss my achievements with my pets: they will listen but will never comprehend. Humans are of the different species than me and my Love. We are the aliens on this Earth and I know quite well what happens to my kind when we try to explain ourselves to Humans, or when we fall in love with them. My closest relative, Antoine De Saint-Exupery shared his story of The Little Prince, he also imagined that he is of the same breed as Humans… but then he had to leave. I am not ready to leave the planet of my birth, not yet. Also, my True Love, my husband, still has some duties to perform here. Nothing too important if you ask me, but he is not me, he follows the Orders from the Emperor of The Floating Kingdom to the letter. Men!!!  (Allois & Jörge)

Picnic 2

Oil on gesso panel, 40″ x 30″

Will be recreated in 2019 for the anniversary of loosing the  house and my art studio in Malibu. Offered for commissions, contact allois@allois.com

The story behind the painting: 

My name is Lars de Montesquieu. You must have heard about my father, Baron de Montesquieu. My mother is still alive and well but she is not quite human. I love to travel. I travel in an old-fashioned way by train, boat or by car and I love to use my talents for slipping into parallel worlds and different realities. I believe that peculiarities of my genetics and upbringing provide me with unique means to finding keys to personal happiness. My twelve-volume treatise “Happiness is Easy” is going into its second printing but it has yet to be translated into Human language. (Allois & Jörge)
