RAS

RAS could stand for Rational Anarkey Syndrome, or Reverb Acoustic Staccato, or Reason After Sense, or Rapid Action Support.....

This can go on forever and surely will. But RAS is also ROTTERDAM ART SHIELD. And Rotterdam Art Shield is just like the Musketeers or the Roman Rulers: a bond of three men, artists to be precise. 3 totally different characters with one goal that binds their focus: filling a blackhole with a rising sun!

Tjalling Visser, Tymen Visser, Henri van Zanten decided in spring 2009 to combine their excentric and individualist tendencies. The name that came up:
Rotterdam Art Shield. It indicates their metaphysical mentality. It is not about them against Rotterdam. It is protecting Rotterdam against them. But the shield is also used as a mirror, only provoking subjective suspense. Reflexions?

What's new? Our goal is not to create something new or claim that. Art in our time cannot be but a comment in the form of refreshing combinations, interpretations, collisions and strange love affairs. It is not unthinkable by doing so we repel, attract and bewilder at the same time. That is the female side of Rotterdam atrt shield

Daddy don't get maddy at your saddy,thats baddy laddy

Dear dad,

Although i am older than you, and you older than me, in the spirit of progress we are nearly decadent in our eagerness to ubermensch ourselves. We do not tire, we do not tire, we step in the source of the energy for the other. That is evolution…survival of the wittiest..

“My heart belongs to daddy! “. Didn’t Marilyn Manson, uh, Monroe sing that? Without wanting to cover her up as a dead salesman, i agree. So how can you doubt? Waver? I mean, i don’t say my big mouth isn’t a quote of Edvard Munch’s masterpiece (and it was stealable!) , the scream, the cream, the dream. But no scheme. Dad, you carried me in your hands, not  because didn’t want me as your child. So, you won’t pick up what you don’t want to carry, and you want drop what’s in your heart. So Daddy, be proud of your self, just as i am. Of you. Because of you i can be a stressdesigner between fact and fiction. You Dad are the calm sea under the storm. And not a Samurai in madame Tussaud’s. So Dad, i’ll show you a picture, us , just look at the 2 mthrfckrs. I don’t say i know everything, but i feel the truth that your TAO or Dharma or just your complete intuition is, as i said complete. Not because i am your son you should look like me? You are your time, i have to take it…

life, life of art

Artist and model Tymen Godert Alois Visser was born in the ominous year 1984. Though he is conscious of the Orwellian tendencies in the present day world, his relaxed and serious personality and lifestyle are an adequate countermove. Life is an art. And with art new life can be created. In short: freedom.

As model Tymen Visser embodies integrity and a classical elegance, becoming one with the fashion he is showing. Beauty is not a luxury, it is a necessity to make a better world and not fake one.
That is his attitude.

As painter Tymen Visser is now working on a series of portraits of famous colleagues. Van Gogh, Dali, Rembrandt,lichtenstein and others. With an outlined colourful emptiness, he liberates the icons from
their cage of fame. Behind the portraits he conjures up as it were the true faces of the artists.

TOKYO DECADENSE

Dutch Stunner Tijmen and Wade aim to bring Le Baron down with a night of South American psychedlic rock, russian chess and gypsy voilence, marching bands, orgies, face paint, vodka guns, confetti machines and sparklers and whatever else we can find....and so we did.
