During may 1993 mk as painter was invited to exhibit his visual works in Maldoror Gallery.

Part of the 1993 exhibition in Maldoror gallery was the spatial arrangement of large panels with drawings mounted on them.
The panels were placed in a circle, the visitor could be in the centre of this circle, surrounded by this drawings, based on x-rays of the human body.

The same series was presented on another location in the gallery as a slideshow.
The drawings were projected in a very fast pace, so that the figure seems to be moving.

In the central space of the gallery, a painting was made during may 1993 on a 31 X 2,20 meters papers.
The presence of the painter and the physical activity of the painting was part of the exhibition - and also in line with the subjects: movement and body.
