What is the 90-90 concept ?
Very often in the gallery, people would like to see a picture turn 90 degrees to the left of the right because they see something in it. The abstract become real for them in that position.
Since the opening I did struggle with one thing. How to keep the people coming back and not get board without removing some of my better pieces for the first time visitor. This is when I came up with the 90-90 concept. Every new show I will turn
90% of the pieces 90 degrees.

Misho @ The Essex
The Essex is a 21 story design award building by Lake Merritt in Oakland. All the art inside is very abstract. Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud adorn the walls in most common area. When the two Thiebaud located in the Gym faded out from too much sun I was asked to make a proposal for replacement. In my mind two things were important. It had to match the lavender walls and it had to relate to the environment ( Lake Merritt). Those two pictures were taken from the bases of the old fashion bronze lamps stringing along the Lake.
Misho & Nicole Bron-Chappuis
When in Lausanne I finally got a chance to go see my Picture at Yookoso . I was very happy to see myself in the fantastic company. of Nicole Bron-Chappuis ( Picture on the right). I did get a chance to meet her and I was so impressed with her work as well as her personality that a brought back two of her pieces with me. You can see them at the Misho Gallery and I hope a lot more very soon for a bigger show in San Francisco.

A piece of Oakland is going to Milano.
Staying on the international subject I just sold a copy of Alice street to a gentleman visiting from Milano. Very soon this abstract version of an Oakland street will be shining on an Italian wall.
Buenos Aires
Probably because of my background as a musician, I sense my pictures as pieces of music. The different colors interacting with each other are like the sounds of different instruments playing together, the shapes like notes creating a melody to carry an emotion, a feeling.
I spend a lot of time in Buenos Aires. There the Tango is everywhere, on every corner,oozing out of the cracks of the streets. I have always loved theTango; it is the soul music of Argentina. Tension and release. The melody slowly building up to an explosion. Then peacefulness or sometimes sadness linger for a while until the next emotion takes over. A lot of my pictures remind me of the Tango.The eye can wander along the different parts, some very peaceful, some full of tension, all together trying to create a feeling or chronicling a moment in time. This is funny as I am describing my pictures like a piece of music I remember being behind my drums hearing the instruments drawing a picture and adding colors to it with my sticks. I guess in my mind they have always been one.
An "International Artist"?
Well, Saturday, January 30th, Francis from Yokosso Gallery in Lausanne sold # 23, my "Rapallo Wall". Exciting considering it was hanging for only three weeks and we did not have a " Vernissage".
Welcome to the MishoGallery Blog
Enlightened! That's what happened to me after going to a pretty informal Google seminar promoting the tools available to a small business. Yes, being an artist is a small business whether you like it or not. Anyway, this is the reason for the birth of this blog.
They told me that having a blog will help me to get on the first page without spending money that I do not have anyway. I know....... there are about 12 results per page and there were 50 people at that seminar, so, yeah, the math is fuzzy...... it may take a little more than a blog to get me there. Probably 10 thousand of you reading my rambling will help, so pass it along.
