Marc Ahr is an artist, who is widely liked and known – having been interviewed by several different T.V.
networks (France 2, CTV Canada, NBC, CNN…) |
His art is mixed between the cityscapes of New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Saint-Petersburg, Moscow,
Tokyo, and the excitement of contemporary events in particular sporting ones.
He has had a lifelong interest and continued presence of large sporting events, in particular the Olympic
Games. . This began 18 years ago with Albertville (1992), followed by Barcelona (1994), Atlanta (1996),
Paralympics (1996), Nagano (1998), Football World Cup (1998) in France, Sydney (2000), Salt Lake
(2002), Athens (2004), Paralympics (2004), Torino (2006), Paralympics (2006), Beijing (2008). The
forthcoming Vancouver Olympics will be his 11th occasion and his third time in North America.
Who knows? You may be lucky enough to be seated next to him, and see Marc deftly paint the
participants, their teams, the referees, the crowd with their flags. However, everything moves quickly at
the Olympics, and Marc is no exception. So like the athletes he needs to be in good form!
Marc aims to complete his sketches in time with the race`s winner to add their autograph trackside. This
makes a unique memory of the event, which Marc sells as paintings or t-shirts.
