Jiri Szeppan combines the most personal expressions -- drawings, calligraphy, photography, collage -- with the most common materials gleaned at the Brussels flea market. As a curator, he handles all details of AJS Gallery exhibits, solo and with visiting artists, and traveling shows. In his own fine art practice he curates elements from memory, imagination to produce a profusion of artist books, paintings, sculpture, digital movies, and art installations/interventions. 

"Curation & Our Art" includes a preview of The Concrete Jungle Book, a hybrid graphic novel in the form of a scrapbook, a project co-authored by Doug Millison, plus the world premiere public screening of the novel's animated trailer video produced by NYLON Films of London & New York, HD video and this screening courtesy of TCJB co-author Steve Porter and the trailer's producer, Annette Porter. 

Fancy, festive, holiday-aware, creative dress encouraged with door prizes + the usual fun as we mix and mingle with light refreshments & beverages. 

Door prizes include signed original The Concrete Jungle Book art work, and wine.
