TON HARING
Ton Haring has been active as an artist in the professional field since 1994.
His main styles are surrealism and magic realism. He finds inspiration in nature, science,arts, life etc. There is a lot of attention for detail in his work. The techniques are quite similar as the techniques used by painters during the middle ages, a time period when attention to detail was important. The most important tools of trade are brushes for painting, pencils, ink and digital stuff.
At this moment he is actively involved in collaboration projects especially the Exquisite Corpse drawings. Ton is also very active in music. Playing different instruments like basguitar, guitar, synthesizers and doundouns [West African Percussion]. Currently he is a member of Dundunba Dordt and Drainair. Barafoli and Dunumba Dordt is specialised in West African music. Drainair is a project with Pascal Smeels. They use modern techniques to produce music in various styles.

DRAWINGS
EXQUISITE CORPSES
These are a few examples of Exquisite Corpse collaborations with  Martin de Diego​, Rodney Gee and Bernard Dumaine
The Exquisite Corpse is a game invented by the surrealists in the first part of the 20th century. For example: One person makes half a drawing and covers it in such a way that only a small strip of the drawing is visible. The next person starts with that strip to complete the drawing, to uncover it only when the drawing is completed so that the final result will be a surprise.
