The venue was arranged to perfection with over 100 artist and gallery stands from over 30 countries from around the world. The atmosphere was charged with positive vibes as visitors took in the wide range of original art available and took pieces they had purchased home.

Visitors were sipping away on champagne, whilst looking around to invest into a piece of original art.

Nate Hester, magic realism and the language of maximalist collage - Tokyo International Art Fair Exhibitor.

Nate Hester - an emerging mid-career, transdisciplinary, diaristic artist from North Carolina in the United States, exhibited widely two decades ago—resurfacing recently at Satellite Art Show concurrent to Art Basel Miami in December 2023 with subsequent exhibits in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo. Hester’s unapologetic pop-punk, Southern Gothic, magic realism works are included in the permanent collections of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, the Allen Memorial Art Gallery at Oberlin College, the Newark Public Library, and the New York Public Library. In the upcoming year, Hester will be in residence at Residency Unlimited (Brooklyn NY), Kolaj Institute (New Orleans LA), Studio Kura (Fukoka, Japan), the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (Amherst VA) and Chateau Orqueveaux (Troyes, France). He loves fruit pies, the trickle of water over rocks along a creek in any deciduous forest and the memories of his 15 year old son as a young boy.

Hester’s absurd and reverential vision explores the charming if disquieting incongruities of the places, communities and bodies to which we all yearn to belong – in particular, the landscape of the modern home.  In his most recent topo-psychoanalytic, “In Search of Lost Time,” toys, flowers, imaginary avatars, human figures, found objects, and pop culture aphorisms cavort in almost—but never fully— comprehensible ways. The language of maximalist collage is invoked to address the fragmentation and inclusive reintegration of modern living. Hester asserts: “I don’t know about y’all, but my life is a hot-mess-dumpster-fire. Like that Leonard Cohen song about the cracks letting the light in, the beauty for me is how I manage to stitch all the ripped-toshreds pieces back together again.” Here, in the face of the predatory aggression of the adult world in the forms of advanced free market capitalism, neocolonialism and patriarchy, intimate sensuality and soulful tenderness prevail and proclaim that everything belongs to everything. In the face of sadness and “saudade” - the Portuguese concept of nostalgia for the future, Hester’s unapologetic pop-punk, Southern Gothic, magic realism calls forth the curiosity and playfulness of his own inner child, with the explicit hope that it invites audiences to connect to their own native and enduring bliss.

What drives you? 

I exist to expand the scope of human empathy through the expression of the silly sacred.  I care about and am driven by meaningful relationships.  The great thing about drawing from life or observational rendering is that it is always about harmonizing relationships. The way to achieve the correct proportions or tonal gradations is by seeing how things fit together.  I like when the right things fit together in the right way at the right time. In essence, I like creating harmony surprising harmony.

Where do you get your inspiration?

I get inspired by looking at Titian’s Andromeda in the Wallace Collection in London or graffiti in the banlieue train track corridors of Paris, hugging people that I love, reading Wallace Stevens’ “The Idea of Order at Key West,” going out to dinner with raucous friends, hiking to the top of mountains, diving into the ocean, dancing to funk beats and singing outlaw country music at the top of lungs.

If I could have a group exhibit with anyone in the world currently alive, I would want to call it “Sidewalk Shamanism: Contemporary Surrealist. Hip-Hop Protest Textiles” and feature the work of Yinka Shinobare from Nigeria, Nick Cave from Chicago, Joo Young Choi from Houston, Texas and Melissa Monroe from Portland, Oregon. 

What is your life quote/motto?

In Voltaire’s Candide, the naïve religious cleric, Pangloss, is a foil for the author to criticize organized religion at the time of the Enlightenment.  Pangloss routinely says, “Le paradis terrestre est ou je suis.”  This translates as “earthly paradise is wherever I happen to find myself.”  While this was used in mockery and derision as Pangloss would exclaim this in the face of experiencing real human atrocities, I have reappropriated it for my own brand of earnest optimism and devious delight.  In other words, my life motto is “bloom where planted.”  No matter what forces try to pave over you and block out your sunlight, keep pushing your leaves up through the cracks in the sidewalk.

What jobs have you done other than being an artist?

I have been an interfaith hospital chaplain as well as a sports marketer for a cybersecurity company.

"You have to live it to believe it!" Interview with Marc Noël Avatar from Belgium - Tokyo International Art Fair 2024 exhibitor

Marc Noël Avatar was born in Belgium on the 08/04/1962. He is also currently living in Belgium. He is a very passionate and even excentric and out of the norm artist. Who has a major objective to the world where he wants to show and share his paintings all over the world. He has acquired now a reputation that when he comes in physically at one of his exhibitions, people recognize him immediately for who he is, the paintings he will be presenting and also his very out of the box entertaining skills during these exhibitions…

When he was young, a major car accident shifted his life into a completely different dimension from what he had planned. It was then that he began his training "at the Academy of Fine Arts of the Universe." During a long path of rehabilitation, Marc’s therapist understood very quickly that the patient he had in front of him was not a “standard” patient, and thus, this professional has been able to go outside of all his classic rehabilitation techniques with his patient. Together they completed a magnificent therapeutic path, which allowed Marc Noe l to, first, gain the ability to hold a pencil again between his fingers, through which the first achievements were the drawing of completely closed circles. Through his motivation, determination, and self-teaching, Marc Noe l progressed through drawing, pastels, Japanese calligraphy, and painting, eventually recovering full control over his hands. Always looking to push boundaries, he realized that traditional artistic expression felt limited. This led to a mystical opportunity where his painting became guided by another dimension, giving birth to his quantum paintings. The paintings he creates today are not just paintings but are very powerful evolving tools which, through time and the observer who stands in front of them, will create an opportunity for an “out of the norm” encounter between the quantum painting and the observer. These are now quantum paintings that change every day for the observer, even though the painting is not modified physically, because the quantum painting adapts itself in what it shows according to the evolution of the observer. He also teaches quantum painting to people, whether they have had or have not had academic training in painting, to make them live and experience “the painting” from a completely different point of view, or to dare enter into the feeling of the creation of the painting, and even become their painting. All the people who already have had the chance to acquire one of his quantum paintings have all experienced an evolution, from when they first saw their canvas, and day after day, as well as a change in their quantum painting and in the feeling that they had with their quantum painting. Today Marc Noe l also presents his paintings to the whole world in physical, digital and online exhibitions, and also on other media platforms, such as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), videos, etc., so that everyone who wants it can benefit from these very powerful tools

Every single time when a curator, a journalist, a gallery owner and even another artist is seeing my art on a physical exhibition or even digital exhibition, they are always intrigued.

Once journalist said from my work: “Mr. Noël, one thing is for sure… nobody will never be able to copy your artwork… not even with artificial intelligence !”

Every single exhibition that I have being presenting to the world have created with every observer/visitor a lot of questions because they “felt” things that their brain could not identify through a certain norm.

The uniqueness of my art is that first it has to be felt. Once the observer has made that connection with my canvas, with his eyes closed, he can open his eyes and invite them to discover one area of the canvas and caresses through his view every single relief… knowing that each one of my paintings are created through a hundreds of reliefs…

Also, I am a very passionate artist and so for me using a lot of very powerful and bride colors is a personal signature of who I am. Even the way I am “merging” colors is very intriguing. Once a curator shared with me that I was able to combine some colors that he had never seen been done by other artists.

You have to live it to believe it!

How would you describe yourself? And your artwork? What drives you?

Pure Passion ! In everything I do I am bringing in pure passion, and through that I am able to live every single second of my life the most beautiful things that I could not even imagine… And that gives me even more passion and drive !

Where do you see your art going in ten years?

Couple of years ago I decided to share my paintings all over the world. Since then, I have been participating in a lot of exhibitions. As well physical as digital exhibitions.

There where it fits into my planning, I honor the visitors of the exhibition with my physical presence. Because I know that people love to meet me face to face and of course I love to meet them too.

I have noticed that the popularity of my artwork grows day by day, week by week, month by month, and even year by year. I am also aware that my paintings are not just “paintings”, they are very powerful tools that are transforming people. So many people have already expressed verbally and also in writings how seeing and also owning one of my paintings has completely changed their life in a very positive way.

So in 10 years time, I see the impact of my art being something that will have influenced exponentially humanity…

I know my artwork is finished when…?

One of my foundations I have learned, practiced and integrated is the practice of Shodo, Japanese calligraphy. For me practicing this art has never been putting something on a canvas…

It has always been and still is practicing “the breath of the Dragon” …

So when I stand in front of a completely new blank virgin canvas… I present myself in a very humble way to it and I request for the permission to get in contact with the canvas. When I feel that I have been accepted and I have received the authorization from the canvas, I choose also a brush that is presenting himself to participate in this creation. And then of course all the abundance of colors that are in my environment where I am going to create this painting starts to sing and to breathe in the rhythm like an orchestra which are tuning all the instruments to start a magnificent “creation” …

And then breath after breath and stroke after stroke, the painting is created and is manifested on the canvas… until this beautiful symphony of breaths and strokes merging with colors onto the canvas and comes to an end in a complete silence…

That is where my creation of this canvas is DONE!

What other hobbies do you have?

I choose this question because it is a very very funny one when people ask me “what are your hobbies”?

Why? As I am a very passionate person, I have developed hobbies already very early in my life and until today I have just been adding up more and more hobbies…

Every hobby that I have, I am still practicing with a lot of passion in the time frame that is available for me in my day-to-day planning. Very often people ask me how it is possible for me to do all these activities as well professionally as personally in a 24hours day period?

The answer is that I have learned to be “very time management efficient”. So, I will share with you some of my hobbies so that you have a taste of how passionate through my hobbies I am.

First, I would like to mention that I practice 7 different types of martial arts that I started when I was 7 years old. For me martial art is something that has created a foundation of my life and I am still living in a true way of “Bushido”.

I am also a very passionate long-distance runner which gives me always that opportunity to go in a very deep state of meditation during my long runs.

I am also a very passionate alpinist and rock climber which gives me that opportunity to be always very focused in being aware that every foot step that I make, every grip that I make with each one of my hands have to be perfect because my life depends on it. I am also a deep sea diver and rescue diver, it is a passion that grew early in my life because I always been one with the water, and once I grew I wanted to explore also the depths of water through special diving gear equipment. And through that I felt the need also to become a rescue diver so that I could help people in need at those depths.

Another passion of mine is to drive motorbikes and sport cars on circuit, a hobby that brings me also the opportunity to work on my focus through high speed on 2 wheels and on 4 wheels. Another hobby of mine is the art of archery, again a magnificent tool for me to work on my focus, being in the present moment, and become the arrow and travelling with it until he has reached his target.

Another passion of mine is to play the Taiko drum, Japanese drum, that for me is much much more than just a percussion instrument. Every single time I strike with my “bachi” on my Taiko, it is like a heartbeat, a breath of life, a creation into the Universe. Communication in all his forms is also a hobby of mine, that I am able to practice, to teach into seminars and on one to one encounters. For me the art of communication is a day-to-day tool that I practice every single moment.

And I could of course continue much much longer on this topic but I am sure that the reader has already have a view how passionate I am through my hobbies.

Have you ever had a spiritual happening?

I have been very lucky in my life that I have so far had a lot of spirituals happenings/ awakenings.

But one I would like to share here is the one that changed my life overnight. When I was 26, I had a very major car accident that make me live a near death experience and a very long revalidation period. This experience brought me even to the big question that I had on that moment: “Would I like to continue to live a normal life with a job, a wife, a child or live the rest of my life as a Tibetan monk?” And I went into a very deep “introspection” and finally found the answer to this question…

I could live both and that’s what I did. It changed my life a lot but the major advantage is that through this spiritual happening, I am now a very good businessman, and I am still able to live fully into science and merge at the same time in the most freeing spiritual and energetical dimension and share it and teach it to the world.

And I enjoy every single moment of it.

If you would be on your death bed what advice would you give to people?

This is such a beautiful question but even that I am still not on my death bed… I would like give people already this advice today…

First, enjoy every single moment in your life… every moment that is gone, is gone… so make sure that when you see that that moment is gone, that you have no regrets on that “gone moment”!

Second, I would like to advice people that they make themselves aware, and also to every child that is walking on this earth, to look very deep inside of them and look for that very special light that is telling them who they are. And then, that they dare to approach that light, go into a deep communication with that light, and being fulfilled with it.

Third, I would advice them to look around them, wherever they live in the world, and look of what “the norm” is, look at that norm and see if they are compatible with it…?

If they would feel that they are not compatible with it, I would advice them of not going into resistance, and I would advice them to look for a way to transform this norm in something that is compatible with who they are today… and then eventually from there, share it and maybe teach it to others!

Fourth, if you really committed in something in this life, you should use this sentence for yourself and for others : “I will do whatever it takes, no matter what to succeed !”

And finally, I would advice them don’t judge themself and don’t judge others and your life will become much much easier. And then, before I will close my eyes definitely I will ask myself this question, the question that I have asked myself every single time before I was sleeping in since my childhood: “Did I do everything that I had to do today in all my knowledges and my competencies to make this world a better place ?” and the answer will be as it has been every single night when I was sleeping in : “YES !”

Why do you do what you do?

This is a very simple question for which I have a very simple answer. I do what I do because I am unable not doing it…

Every single breath that I take is a gift that I received from the Universe and so it is my duty and commitment to this world that every time I have been granted through this breathing in, that in every breathing out I am giving back something to the world and to the Universe. So it is a very natural and automatic process for me, the things that I do, there is no mental process involved in what I am doing…

I do what I do… Just because I AM WHO I AM.
