THE MEMBERS SPEAK OUT...

From
Michael Cheval

To all 5 opponents of the WAF!
The one
thing I would like to ask the critics of WAF – Who are the
judges? Who are these people who so brutally and forcefully defy
WAF and personally Mr. Marengo? Who is Christian De Boek? What is
so remarkable about this man, with what did he glorify himself
and thereby acquired the right to judge? If he is an art critic,
his expression and the texts are extremely unprofessional, and
often obscene. A real critic has never made a personal remarks
and never resorting to insults. If he is an artist, then, for
reasons of professional ethics, he has no right to drag his
colleagues through the mud. If he is neither the artist nor the
critic, then he has no right to judge. By his tone he can be
defined as a gallbladder and jealous person, who pleasures
himself with mud, which he fills the space of the Internet. Mud
is his natural environment, with the intoxication, he repeats the
same words, trying to defame the business, the essence of which
he had not even attempted to penetrate.

And to all
of you, who willingly or unwillingly became his supporters, I'd
like to ask: Don’t you have anything else to do? Most of
you consider yourself artists. So is the purpose of the artist to
spent all day on the Internet typing on a keyboard, spreading all
over the Internet gossips and rumors? You forgot about the
brushes and paints, you do not care how your paintings are
selling and what should be done to ensure that they sell even
better? Instead, you’re like some people in a marketplace
who day and night chew over non-existent facts and accuse people
you don’t even know. And the most unfortunate, that you did
not even try to learn about them. It is believed that mental
illness is not contagious. But looking at you, I am beginning to
suspect that the disease of paranoia that Mr. De Boek is
afflicted with is actually contagious. Now you are afflicted of
the same disease. I congratulate you on this! Now you’ve
done it!

And finally - some of you, who supported
the opponents of the WAF, did you ever participate in large
international exhibitions? New York, Miami, Basel, Florence,
Berlin, Las Vegas, Tokyo ... If anyone of you have participated
in these Expos You would have known how expensive is it costs.
How much is a booth, how much it costs one-page of general
catalog, how much it costs a banner over the entrance? If you
don’t know, I’d answer - about ten thousand dollars.
And this is a modest part - a small booth, one page, and no
banner ... If you want some more - please double the amount, or
may triple it. I know what I’m talking about, because for
many years I participated in such international exhibitions. Did
I get a return on the money I invested? I did. And even earned
over. But I know that some artists have not been able to. And
that's OK. This is a nature of the art market. No one can force a
buyer to pull his wallet and buy your work, if he does not wish
to. And I know many artists, who failed, then once again they go
on exhibiting their paintings and persevere to succeed. This is
how people begin to recognize them.

It's good to
have a personal websites on the Internet, It's good to show your
work on FaceBook and other network sites. Shower each other with
praise and glory. ... But this is all an illusion, ladies and
gentlemen! You must meet face to face talk with the audience,
with your potential buyers. You must learn how to sell your
paintings. But if you do not know how - there is such a
profession, which is called Art Dealers. Usually they can be
found at the Expos, or just in the galleries, which they normally
own.

If you want your work to be sold, you must
first understand that this is a business. And this business is
defined by its own laws. Yes, there are some risks. You can
quickly take off, or you also painfully fall. Just as in any
business. Those, who are so afraid, sitting at home, leading a
Bohemian way of life and recognizing only their art, and not
terribly happy for someone else's success.

The WAF
invites you to get rid of this inferiority complex, go to the
light and demonstrate to everybody what you do best. If you fear
to compete with others, stay home, work for your friends or a
narrow range for your customers. But please, be ethical people,
be artists, not only by profession but also by the
soul.

Sincerely
Michael
Cheval

I have been a professional artist for over 20
yrs,
having owned a Gallery for 5 yrs. on Duval St. Key West,
Florida
& toured the United States with Art Festivals for
13 yrs. with promoters. I now enjoy the pleasure of
representation & partnership with Galleries for the last 3
yrs.

Soooo along this incredibly bumpy ride I have had my
share of groups and individuals offering & promising what I
call "MUCH TO DO ABOUT NOTHING". I flew in to Orange
County about 3 wks. ago and for those nameless artists screaming
about 25 dollars, my tab for this venture was over a thousand for
the plane ticket & hotel expenses etc.
You see a very
prominent gallery had offered me a contract, once I had made
known about this deal to Jojo Marengo of WAF he was able to put
me in contact with another artist who was having a much different
picture painted for them then what I was promised by said
Gallery. The information shared saved me considerable grief, at
Jojo's suggestion I decided to venture out and see what was
available on the West Coast, WAF hosted a dinner and a contact
was made for a new Gallery. You see in my 20 yrs. in this
business my one golden rule has been how does an individual
follow through on what they say, Mr. Marengo has passed with
flying colors.

So for those that are concerned what will
WAF do for you, maybe you should be thinking what can I do for
WAF to help make it a success.

As brilliant an artist you
may be, in my twenty years I have found it takes those
(promoters) with their own talents for connections to bring
together an event & make it happen. My final thoughts on this
matter to artists are: what would you rather do, listen to
someone that spews negative & bitterness with no constructive
thoughts to actually elevate you as an artist, OR not just join
but participate with a cause that has already produced
actions.

For those that continue to beat a negative drum
all I hear anymore is "MUCH TO DO ABOUT NOTHING"

The
way the art world is changing WAF is the only artists
organization today that has a chance to succeed. I applaud the
way WAF is bringing artists together . That is the way artists
become stronger.

The success of the World Expo 09 in
California will make WAF the most serious art organization in the
world

WAF is different. WAF artists can Meet. Talk.
Learn. Have hope.
Not all will succeed. But all will learn to
succeed.

The art world will be watching us in
California. And I will do my share and my best to help it succeed
and succeed we will George. We must do this for all of us
artists.

Keep going George. Some people believe in you
more than anything else in this world. Believe as I am one of
them. You can count on me.

Three
months ago I expressed my adhesion to WAF art group and my full
support for this art organization. As many other artists, I had
my personal doubts about the project, a lot of questions, a lot
of thoughts, but everything was about art and I decided at that
time to give my support to the project. Today, I am very pleased
by the work of WAF and the perspectives of the organization; it
overpassed my expectations, as it is not easy to put together in
such a short time a powerful international art organization.
Behind the WAF image there is a lot of work and we are indebted
to Jojo and Antoine Marengo, the initiators and engine of the
organization. What they built in this three months represents for
other people a “life dream”. Let’s keep
supporting this kind of initiatives, lets share our thoughts and
I am sure I’ll meet a lot of you at WAF art expo.
I will
continue to give all my support to WAF as long as I see it
supports the art and promotion of culture and good relations
among the world's artists.

Hi
Jojo,
thanks for your reply to this. This is my number in
the UK (0044)787 553 111. I have chosen a side and it is the WAF.
I will immediately end any contact at all from this
Christian de Bloek, with his malicious time wasting
criticisms.
Keep up the good work, will continue to promote
WAF and will add the WAF link to my website on my next
update of images.

I wouldn't worry too much about that small group that
is bad mouthing WAF- one of them stooped to using profanity in
her writings and at that point they lost any credibility that
they might have had for me. As artists I suspect we have all
experienced jealous, back stabbing behavior at some point in our
careers, and those people usually dig their own graves. I am
happy and proud to be part of such an ambitious, globally
unifying event.

thnx,
A. Proulx France

Jojo...No,
I don't wonder why you don't fight back to all those so-called
"critics", that for me are losers. Period.
No, I
wonder why you even think on them!
Don't waste even a bit of
energy on your fingers to write about them, about their
existence...
For me is clear, (and I think for all those who
had accomplished something worthy in life, as I am sure,
everyone, member or founder of WAF have did...) the counterpart
of creation is destruction, and in this crazy world the shadow,
the resentment and the lack of talent is disguised as
"critics".

We are walking...thus the dogs are
barking!

Cheers!

I
want to express my deepest thanks to the generosity of the
Marengo family members and the WAF organization for existing and
most of all for giving hope and opening new doors in the complex
world of Art, especially for new talents like me

As an
fast ascending emerging artist, I know how hard it is to climb
the ladder towards a dream, specially when not always it’s
possible to afford certain fees requested from marvelous
Gallerists and innovative Art Directors…. WAF believed in
me, believed in my talent, and they provided me with a
sponsorship to enable me to exhibit in the U.S. and that is one
dream come true to me… this was the next step
in my ladder of dreams…. Thanks to their ambitious
initiative that goes beyond frontiers, I have been given the
chance to share my art to the world’s eyes.

Thank
you with all my heart,
Sincerely,
Eugenia

I
am so great full towards WAF. It is offering me the chance to
exhibit in the USA for the first time.
Well done
everyone involved to make this happen.

Hi
Antoine

I am looking forward to Expo and to work with
you.
When it comes to the below, I have no time to follow what
people write at Face Book and others, I am very busy painting and
exhibiting all over Europe.

I assume that there are always
some stupid people out there that have nothing better to do with
their time.
If I where you I would not even bother to comment
these idiot, just do what you plan to do and lets make a
successful World Art Expo in June.
You have my Full
Support.

Dear
Antoine,
I'd like to thank you, Jojo, your family and Umbrella
Publishing for the opportunity to be a part of this exciting
event.
I applaud your effort and commitment to World Art
Foundation and the artistic community.
As a struggling and
dedicated artist living at the bottom of the world (Australia),
I've found it is rare to be given an
opportunity like this so
I believe in, and look forward to, the success of the World Art
Expo.
To me it has already been a success in that it has
enabled a network of artists and art lovers to connect and
I'm
impressed by what has been achieved already in such a short time.
I'm thrilled to be involved and want to offer my
support to
help make this idea succeed.

I really appreciate the
graciousness, hard work and dedication that you have shown and
I'm very grateful for your continuing support.
Trust is
crucial to restoring faith in our troubled world and essential to
restoring global confidence in trade and security.
Art and the
World Art Foundation can be a beacon of hope in a cynical world
by showing that trust = hope.
If we don't trust in each other
then humanity is doomed. Keep up the great work Antoine and don't
let the naysayers get you down.

Kind Regards
Jo

Dear
Antoine,
If
you were in East Europe, you would feel like you got the best
reflections about your work.
If you have these kind of enemies
wasting their time on atttacking you, it meens that it is very
strong and positive what you make. Keep on work and smile a
lot!
Hope to meet in June!

Best
regards!

Dear
Antoine,

You have my full support. My wife and
I are making plans to attend and exhibit my art at the "World
Art Expo 09, June 7-14, 2009. Do not be dissuaded by people
like Christian de Bloek with false rumors and gossip. They
have, so far, made no contact with me. If they do I will
tell them to quit harassing us. Who is this man? What
is his agenda?

Blessings,

Here’s
a statement/testimonial on the experiences that I’ve had so
far with World Art Foundation. It’s very important to me to
tell from the beginning that this testimonial is written on my
own initiative. World Art Foundation has never asked me if I
would write something positive about them.

The
thought of writing a positive statement about the World Art
Foundation came to me after having only had positive experiences
with the organisation that simply don’t match what people
say about the World Art Foundation in a chat room and artist
web site I came across after having “googled” World
Art Foundation.

I was introduced to WAF by a
friend on Face Book. I visited their site and decided very
quickly to apply for a subscription.

The
services they offer – and the artists I’m presented
among are just great. It’s an acknowledgement to me to be
represented with artists who are obviously great – that it
self assures me that it’s a place I want to be. After
having applied for a subscription I was contacted by Antoine
Marengo just a couple of days after. He has always answered any
questions I’ve had right away – and had the time to
talk to me on the phone if I found it necessary to have my
questions answered that way.

It
may be the kind of service you should always take for granted,
but it’s the first time I’ve experienced it from an
art organisation!!!

The
service – and the opportunity to exhibit at the World Expo
09 is worth mentioning as well. It´s very
difficult to be in the art world. But I think for a new, unknown
artist it’s even more difficult to get into the
art world as well. So I think it should be seen as an opportunity
for getting “out there” with your art instead of
talking negatively about it. Because for artist-members of World
Art Foundation there’s no participation fee. Which is
absolutely incredible since so many exhibition events and
galleries charge a huge fee for participation? In Europe as well
as the states I’ve been offered to participate in
exhibitions and art fairs with fees ranging from $1000 - $10.000.
That made me doubt whether these organizations and galleries
actually liked my art – or my money?

So
if anybody want to focus on the negative in the art world, why
not go for the kind of organizations and galleries that charge a
huge fee for being an “art promoter” for unknown,
emerging artists, instead of those who don’t!

HI
Antoine!
I think WAF ıs the nonprofit artists
organization that has a chance to make a grate art world. This is
the way artists explore their art and can become stronger.
The
success of the World Expo 09 in California will make WAF the most
important art organization in the world.

In WAF we
are sharing art world wide, this is impotent for art and artist.
We hope 100% success of WAF and all nonprofit art
organization.

I think WAF team is very busy with
their work to make combination. Every good thing had some
obstacle. So don’t worry. All we are with WAF...Carry
on.

Hello,

I
am a proud member of WAF. I am grateful to the
Marengo family members, hardworking organizers of the 2009
exhibit in Orange County, California, who believed in
my talent and will give me the opportunity to show my
art in their event. The WAF idea is very innovative and permits
the exchange of ideas between artists from all corners of the
world. Sadly, there are angry and envious people who enjoy
trying to destroy other people good work ... But I believe
that good thoughts are stronger than negativity. Continue with
your excellent work.

Thank
you again from the bottom of my heart.

Dear
Antoine,

I am very surprised at this story. I
received several letters from Mr. De Block Facebook on and
questioning of my artist friends in Europe.
This is
detrimental to the reputation and for the Word Art Expo 2009. It
would be a serious act that artists are not victims of a
misunderstanding or a movement against the hand of this
individual. Therefore, I was appointed by artists to represent
and I want to participate in the exhibition next June in order to
reassure the concerns and fears of artists. Can you give me a
hotel where I could live a few days to Brea?

Could
we meet Jojo during my stay in order to discuss and visit the
exhibition? I advise you to put in place communication service
for artists.
Who can not wait to see my paintings and
those of other artist friends in your beautiful places of
Brea,

I
would like to express my thanks for giving my nephew Zoltan

Expo. I Am looking forward to meeting you and your great family.
The venue in Orange County California is so exciting we will be
there! I am the spiritual advisor to Mrs. Hilton and I can speak
on her behalf, as well, as I am her personal assistant.

Mrs.
Hilton has expressed her positive support on your great efforts
in supporting artists from all over the globe!
The support in
sponsoring these artists, who would not have been able to expose
their work in this format you are providing, is
priceless!

Hello
Jojo and Antoine,
I have Completely Ignored those negative
attacks. My association with you ,has brought me positive
espouser, great contacts and lot of inquiries about my art.
For the first time since I have been painting, my numerous
Italian Family can see my work. I have received purchase
interest, and more. To those who ask about the false claims, I
answer that I still believe in equal opportunity and freedom of
choice.

Thank
You for giving me opportunity and choice.

Antoine,
I am aware of some what shall we call it misunderstandings. Its
likely that it will change once people see that the Expo is
taking form and artists involved are pleased.

up the good work and have a good week end,

Dear
Jojo,

In this day and age it not often we meet people that
actually say what they do and then do what they say! You
continually exceed my expectations.

Your
commitment, diligence and passion are to be applauded. You
complete all that you promise and much more!. Your ‘Best
of’ magazines are a very creative venue. I greatly
appreciate your features on my gallery and the many fine artists
represented. I have certainly benefited greatly from the well
written feature articles and thank you for your continued
support.

Your
World Art Foundation Project will benefit the artist and those
that collect fine art on many levels. I have no doubt WAF
will be a huge success…like all the projects you create,
develop, produce and bring to fruition.
Jojo, it is
always a pleasure to work with you and I look
forward to supporting your efforts in making the World Art
Foundation a program one which you, the many talented
artists and myself can be equally proud.

Hi
Jojo and Antoine,

I really enjoyed meeting with you last
week; your efforts in building WAF are very impressive. Your
dedication to high principals and the care and treatment of
people is evident.

I remember when you started the Art &
Fashion Group and changed a whole industry, making all of us feel
more positive about ourselves.

I have seen the posts
spearheaded by Christian de Bloek; it is rather amusing to think
that someone has so little to do that they spend their time
trying to discourage others from making the world a better
place. Please pray for these people; they have so little
happiness and obviously they need someone to care about them.
Remember - we had detractors in the beginning of AF&G and
eventually they either joined us or went away to bother someone
else.

I applaud you for staying focused on WAF and
spending your time loving others - including those that
mistakenly mock your efforts. You have a great capacity to stay
positive and everyone that meets you comes away a better
person.

Take care -

Ron

I don't know
if what i say has any pull with any person but Jojo and Antoine
have already started a controversy in the art world
that is as good as it can get. Every time i have a
question they respond and to the point. Thanks again and
looking forward to June at the EXPO
Latch

Antoine,
Let
me add my voice to those who would stand up for you and the great
work you are doing.
You
and your staff have been very attentive and responsive to me
personally. And I for one know what the real cost of what
it is you're providing and can clearly see the obvious value.
So
let's remember the timely and relevant words of Gustave Flaubert,
who wrote, "A man is a critic when he cannot be an artist,
in the same way that a man becomes an informer when he cannot be
a soldier."
While
critics have the ability to sting us, the wounds are superficial
at best, particularly when they have little or no basis to begin
with. The critic's job is too easy. All they need to do is pick
up and cast stones. But artists, and those who foster them, are
doing the very real and often very hard work of creating,
building and presenting works of beauty. I love that you quote
Mother Theresa. Let me add the words of the One she followed, "No
good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit."

Antoine, the fruit doesn't lie, it reveals what kind of
tree is bearing it.
Please keep doing what you're doing
and pay no attention to those to whom no attention is all that's
deserved.
I'm looking forward to having my work represented at
the Expo, and expect the same degree of assistance and attention
that I have received thus far.

My thanks to you and your
staff.

Sincerely,

REPORT
OF SHAHLA ROSA a facebook member of Visionary Art

Dear
facebook friends and those who are members of WAF,

I\'m
writing this letter to assure you all, that, the world Art
Foundation \'s plan for WORLD ART EXPO 09 in California is fully
clear and correct, according to my visit to the locations in the
city of BREA.

I
was invited by Jojo Marengo, to take a tour, of the area on
Saturday, Feb/07/09. I accepted with pleasure, we met in Irvine
and he drove me to the city of Brea, we visited the Embassy
Suites in Brea which was included of the hotel\'s ballroom and
meeting rooms. Our tour continued to the Brea Plaza that included
WAF headquarters, a former two-story bank , also 4 adjacent
buildings with quite large spaces. All these spaces were fully
visible by visitors and eye catchers.

The
most interesting fact is, that we DO NOT HAVE TO HANG OUR
PAINTINGS IN A BOOT, YET ACTUAL GALLERIES, which I personally
prefer and looks more professional. I never accepted to attend a
show if I have to use a boot for my paintings.

The
other important fact is, for the first time in the history of
ART-EXPO\'s, Jojo trying to create an expanded ART_ EXPO in
different locations. There is no doubt that we will have the Expo
on June 11th-15th, mostly in the city of Brea and other parts of
Orange County as well.

I
personally was very impressed with the effort that Jojo &
Antoine put together with this new great Idea, and congratulate
them for doing something different as well as revolutionary.

thank
you all for your attention, and see you all @ ART- EXPO 2009 .

Warm
regards,

it was a pleasure meeting you and your business partners on
Monday. I am glad I got a chance to see the facilities you will
be using for the Expo in June. It should prove to be a first-rate
venue from everything I saw.

Also,
I was impressed to see, first handedly, the support you have from
the art industry leaders and business leaders within Orange

they, and you, have every intention to make this project a huge

Thank
you for your warm hospitality and the privilege to be part of the
presentation evenings. I am very impressed with the quality and
scope of the event. I am also grateful for the opportunity to
meet with many wonderful people - artists, journalists, sponsors
and curators. It was pleasure to meet Jojo Marengo and his son
Antoine, HB Gallery owner Peggy Howell and the team of her
gallery, brilliant artists Torreen West, Adam Scott Rote, Tristan
Schane, Fernanda Natale-Reynolds, Norman Deesing and many
others.
I was pleased to see the results of the WAF team and
the Marengo family. Since I was in California three months ago,
much had been done and the project ceased to be just a vision- it
became a reality. I am vey impressed with the exhibition
pavilions where the Expo 09 will take place. I was very impressed
by the magnitude and size of the area provided for art
exposition. I also visited the home of the future WAF museum.
This bright spacious building can become a great museum created
by the artists and, eventually, become a unique place to hold
future events .

Once again I want to express my
gratitude and admiration of the whole WAF team and personally to
Mr. Marengo for their courage and dedication. What they’re
doing is truly unique. Not surprisingly, there are people who
doubt the reality of the WAF exhibitions. The project really is
like a fairy tale, it's too good to be true. However, it is the
truth and I confirm it. WAF is not a fantasy, these are people
working 24 hours a day, an incredibly creative and well educated.
People, who love the arts, care about the artists and know how to
combine the useful with the pleasant.

Thanks
Antoine for circulating Michael's powerful and a befitting reply
to the 5 unfair opponents to WAF (Christian De Bloek and his ilk)
for their unkind, false and unfounded criticism. Your letter at
places is very harsh but the bloke deserves it. The five have
been spreading rumors and raising all kinds of baseless
questions.

I have been getting info from Michael and
Marengo and I keep on informing members of my various groups, two
of them were: Abstract Art Lovers Group and All Indian Artists in
the World Group. Latest being Shayna Bracha Farber. I am very
proud of Marengo and all of you for doing yeoman service to the
Art community. You all deserve, in fact, highest awards from the
Art World. One day you all will be rewarded. I wish I were part
of your team.

Wish you good luck.

Also,
just a side note - whatever these attacks on the WAF are, don't
allow them to derail your efforts or upset your spirit...you are
doing great work and the big picture will be apparent to all in
time. Leadership can be a challenge, but one worth facing. Also
remember that much of an opponent's power, comes from our
willingness to deplete our own energy by staying engaged with
him.
Best
to you and your family, your work and support are much
appreciated.
