Since the „renaissance“ of COL as active international art-movement (starting in the end of 2005 in Tepoztlan, Mexico, 38 years after the „birth of Col-Art in Zürich) the most important town in Germany (besides Murnau) for our projects has been ZWEIBRüCKEN, with meanwhile (until 2013) three exhibitions and four events in seven years ! It’s JüRGEN RINCK (see also his pages on Google), who made this possible, and in 2006 we had in his RINCKENHOF a first Col-Art-exhibition, including the realisation of several Col-Art-works.
This painting was started by a child of 3 years (Yannick Fuchs) , who realized the blue part and declared: „It’s the sky!“. I, Marc, did the part in the middle with red mountains, and Norbert Rinck (who was at that time 73 years old) did the land- scape below…

A special way of practicing Col-Art is an intervention on paintings of other epocs. In Travers, Switzerland, I found on the street and for waste disposal a painting of a bird – around 200 years old !- with evident qualities, but looking quite gloomy. With quite fiery colors I could transform him in a „fire-bird“… 70 / 40 cm oil / wood Unknown painter (around 1805) & Marc Kuhn (2005)
