Smoke art as Homage to Rene Magritte, by Stoffel De Roover

Smoke art – Homage to Magritte

The bowler hat should look familiar, and also the picture of the pipe with the inscription ‘Ceci n’est pas une pipe’ (This is not a pipe), referring to the fact that is not a pipe, just a depiction of a pipe. Working on a smoke picture of my last […]

Smokin’ Q no longer

For a bit less than a year, 12 of my works had been hanging in the Smokin’ Q, a BBQ restaurant on 63rd Street in NYC. Unfortunately the restaurant is closing its doors, so you’re only chance to see the works in that restaurant now is on the pictures below.. If you know of a new place to exhibit these works in New York, let me know. from Lumendipity Photography Blog – www.lumendipity.com/blog

Ganesha – the Elephant-Headed God

As hinduism is one of the first religions to make use of insence to worship their gods, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that in one of my latest smoke pictures I saw Ganesha, the elephant headed god, in a lotus position.. Then again, maybe you see something else? Maybe a one-seater couch with a heart as the back or pillow? UPDATE -just wanted to add a picture of a statue of Ganesha, for those who haven’t heard of the […]
