Introduction

Erik en Paul

I Will Win 5 - The Body is my ??? I Will Win self portrait which draws attention to all those anonymous individuals throughout the world who strive to improve themselves in among others, relationships, work, studies, arts, sports, etc every day.

The Body 10 by 6 m. (= 10.9 by 6.5 yard.) is different from my paintings I Will Win and I Will Win 2 - The News a photographic artwork inspired by among others:
 

- Eadweard Muybridge photo A Man Running  (1887)

- Rembrandt van Rijns painting The Night Watch (1642)

The idea is to show The Body at a framework of six by seven bi-fold photos of each 145 x 108 cm (w x h) like last year along the ING New York City Marathon course at the Harlem River Yard, so that 37.000 runners on the bridge and approximately 260 million TV viewers in 125 countries and a photo satellite can see The Body for six to seven seconds.

Different to Muybridge, I will photograph the 42 naked self portraits myself in 360°, the first at 8,37°, the second at 16,72° and so on in order to show all facets of the human body. But most important, I will photograph and photoshop myself alive and glowing similair to Rembrandts deceased wife, Saskia, in his world known painting The Night Watch in order to lighten taxis, cars, pedestrians, etc in New York’s five boroughs.

In order to finance “I Will Win 5 - The Body” I sell 42 unregistered numbered options for only $ 200 (€ 150) at Van Loon Art Party's which gives you the exclusive right to buy one numbered and signed copy of one of the motion pictures of $ 2,000 (€ 1,500) each, with as rule that the number on the option is equal to your place in line till the end of November 2007 to choose your desired motion pictures.

Please let me know if you are interested? I am very much looking forward to hear from you!

Third time lucky!

Erik van Loon

p.s. I draw the 42 unique options myself and please be aware that the prices of the unique drawings can fluctuate due to the number of people throughout the world who have seen The Body.

Art is for me communication whereby I want to reach public beyond the art world (Beyond Art) on my own power with the use of mass media in order to move them literal and metaphorically with work that doesn't create only beauty but also incites discovery, stimulates reflection, and generates self-knowledge, which will eventually increase understanding, exchange, and cooperation between governments, companies and people worldwide.
