Italian artist Enrico Baj (Bye) is demonstrating his new technique - interplanetary painting in Gallery One in London, where his work is exhibited. He is creating painting called "Mountain of D'Arblay Street", a portrait of the gallery director. Enrico Baj is a well known artist. He has studies at the famous Brere Academy, his work is exhibited around the world and he fights against 'conventional abstract art' by inventing new techniques. He pioneered 'nuclear movement' and now is advocating 'interplanetary painting'.
