I got an invitation to attend the exhibtion of Sophie de Saint Phalle at the Galleries of New Babylon. New Babylon is the new location of the former Babylon Berlin Club.

The galleries are in a skybox. It is a modern gallery with two floors, high ceilings and flooded with light inside so that the exhibits can develop their expression.
Sophie de Saint Phalle is formerly known as Sophie Marie Sinclair (perpetua1010) and I have seen quite of her art already. Sophie also owns her own gallery in Second Life, the SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Center.

At the Galleries of New Babylon she showcases parts of her exhibtion “Terra Australis” (read here), some of her more erotic pictures anda few colourful more abstract pictures. So it is a nice selection of her art, there are just her caricatures missing. All of her art just looks great in this environment.

She loves to experiment with different kind of paint and lithography. Her favourite materials are sand, plaster, glue, terracotta, stones, bones, ash, charcoal, natural pigments and more.
Sophie has made several book illustrations and was for many years political cartoonist for a well known satire magazine. She lived and worked in the Unites States, Australia, Rome and Monaco.
