Vincent

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ Vincent was born in Copenhagen in 1947. Named “Flemming Vincent Hansen”He grew up in a working class family, with his father, his mother, and two sisters. Vincent left school at the age of 14. Because, as his father said, ”You can’t become and artist, this is something you have to be born with, so find yourself an apprenticeship.” Vincent became a waiter. After having ended his apprenticeship he worked within his trade and apart from working as a waiter he worked as a hotel manager and built his own Café in the mid-eighties. He also worked as a head waiter on ferryboats for two years. In the 60..s and 70..s Vincent played in various rock bands. (He had started playing drums at the age of 12).Vincent lived for 10 years as a professional musician, with different jobs in between, such as professional diver, designer of clothes, independent bus owner, Thatcher, blacksmith, bricklayer’s assistant, and various other jobs. At the age of 30 he took a Higher Preparatory Course. His philosophy was that if you want to paint people and the conditions of their lives, you have to get out there and work together with them.Since 1970, pictorial art has played an increasingly important part in his life. In the mid-seventies, he spent some years with different artists and took courses with them. Furthermore, he attended drawing courses for two years at the Ny Carlsberg Glytotek, a renowned Danish art museum.In 1974, Vincent had the first exhibition of his paintings. In the following years he works in various communities of artists.In the 80..s Vincent is a member of the central board of the Danish Visual Artists Union.In 1981, Vincent is a co-founder of Syntese (Synthesis), an art and culture community, together with painter Per Johan Svendsen and sculptor Steen Krarup JensenFrom 1981 to 1989, Vincent has a series of big exhibitions in Denmark and France. Among other places, on Charlottenborg, the Art Museum Louisiana, and Ateliers Portes-ouvertes in Paris.Vincent was one of the representatives of Syntese, on the Nordic cultural delegation’s great trip to Nicaragua, around the turn of the year 1988-89, where he played a major part in Syntese’s decorations in this country. (The National Library in Managua, Hotel Litto in Managua, and the school in Sebaco, in the Maiagalpa Mountains)At the end of 1989, Vincent was among the members of Syntese, whor participated in the Nordic Cultural Festival in Trondheim, Norway, where he made a great contribution in the carrying out of Syntese’s 25x3 meter decoration in the city’s harbour.In 1990, Vincent painted Syntese..s big mural with an astronomical clock on Nørrebro, Copenhagen. The title of the mural is ”A stranger is a friend you haven’t met yet”At Syntese’s big exhibition ”Den Lange Rejse” (The Long Journey), on Charlottenborg in 1989, all of Vincent’s works were seized by the tax authorities and the police, due to a bankruptcy in 1986. Syntese took the matter to court and after 3 years and 2 different courts, supported by the Visual Artist’s Association and Copydan, because of the principal nature of the case, Syntese won and Vincent was given back most of his works. After the trial, Vincent all but turned his back on the established world of art in Denmark and moved to Sydhavnen (the Southern Harbour) in Copenhagen. Here, he built his own studio out of recycled material, in which, since 1990, he has been working on a project that he calls ”the World as seen from a shed in Sydhavnen”. He finds his subjects in the news media for a series af large three-dimensional portraits.In 1996, he went to Africa to do more murals, plus a series of exhibitions in Tanzania and neighbouring countries.In 1998, Vincent and visual artist Lars Kraemmer developed the concept ”Art Money”. More than 500 artists are involved in this at present.In the new millennium several exhibitions have been arranged in connection with ”Art Money” around the world, in cities like Vancouver, New York and Amsterdam.In 2002, Vincent was elected chairman of COAST (Center of art science and technology)In 2004, Vincent has been invited as a visiting professor by the Art College of Inner Mongolia University. (Academy of fine art, China)Julie 2004 he was 1 of 50 artist from all over the world, making murals and sculptures in the United Nations project “First Encounter of World Artist for Honduras” Arte Para Todos / Art For All.
