Yesterday I've visited the
PANAMARENKO UNIVERSUM exhibition in the MHKA (modern art museum Antwerp). The Belgian artist Henri Van Herwegen (°Antwerp, 1940) aka
Panamarenko has become world famous with his imaginary sculptures, aeroplanes, balloons, helicopters...
When I saw the space models created by Panamarenko, I had to think at the flying saucers used by the little green men in the erotic cartoons series created by the
French cartoonist Pat Mallet (1939-2012).
I don't know if Panamarenko knows of this cartoons, but there is some resemblance...
