I like Opensala and the Internet where artist and patron can come together directly and simply and work together. Having newly opened-up to the net, I look forward to collaborating with other visual artists creating who-knows-what. The ease and velocity are stimulating, shocking.

Onward ! It should be fun.wifred-sarr-signature


About Going ON

For most truly devoted painters it would be inappropriate for them to discuss or even give titles in company with the art work.

We must speak here and may appear that we wish only to make names for ourselves, however more than anything it is our need to communicate.

As it has already been said, our need for an artist-owned and operated company has finally matured; and today we are a fact.

Today the co-creation between Opensala artists gives them the window to a new reality.

Opensala finds its roots and now selling

⊆ March 24th, 2009 by admin | ˜ No Comments »
Opensala finds its roots in ‘The Unity of Painters’ . We seek to combine and revive the creative spirit of the Renaissance with la culture du Café of the mid 1800s in Paris, where French revolution was inspired.

This unity took off in 2000, when Yos met Imanuel and Alberto while he lived in Barcelona.

Internet and computers are playing a tremendous roll in their projects. Their actual meeting was in their working; that made them closer.

In 2007 Yos met Wilfred Sarr in Santa Cruz, California and now in 2009 they have a functioning studio – headquarters for Opensala.

The growing need for an artist-owned and operated company has finally matured.

In Opensala, trying out universally advancing concepts, painter and web designer Joseph Tany and his artist friends, are freely co-creating both locally and cross-continentally.

Given that no one at Opensala is in actuality working or designing on line, no one knew how to handle an online shop but one, So all have given us their permissions.

We now offering our art for sale on Opensala on Etsy.

hi everybody

from my nice hotel room i can see and hear rain through big crystal windows, facing the sea and it is feeling so good .

Vicente Holgado is seriously considering to leave Barca and learn movie making in San Francisco . we had a movie shot last year, an interview and in fact a discussion between him , wilfred sarr and yos . this movie is supposed to be edited and presented by the Santa Cruz TV . today yos feels a bit overdosed by the intensity of that interview . wilfred is interested in making a better version . and so vicente’s intention to rejoin with us is perhaps how we have some 3 movies in prospect .

Alberto Oliveira was one in ten artists invited to Olive Festival in Cyprus , where he also did a beautiful painting with olive as theme . hoping for that and other series of his on opensala sometime

Chaparral Andrew Hodges is in recording . he sent me a very special and may i say magical blessing card for the new year or something .

Nos Levin is moving forward with Mecomodo which yos is building it in smaller steps . inspired by Sunsong who appears to be a  Chinese master in 12 different marshal arts at the beach, he said ~ the fastest is yet the slowest .

and Wilfred Sarr is holding his first portrait show in years . most of them are of his artist friends . it is happening in the fire fly . . but wait a minute; here you have an invitation:
