Soho Virtual Art Gallery
Georg Janusjewski is from Vianna Austria and has traveled extensivley throughout Europe and America in search of spiritual perfection. He has found much of what he is looking for right under his own tree in a suburb of Vianna Austria where he continues his creative output.

Georg has done a variety of art over the last 30 years, including painting, sculpture, music, and acting. His song about Codo, an extraterrestrial that visits earth to bring a message of peace, became a big popular music hit in Austria in the 80s. Georg is an endless creator, a person striving to communicate through a variety of artistic medium, and his section of the Soho Virtual Art Gallery is currently in a "work in progress" stage.

Josef's work is ripe with references to nature and ancient tradition. His work in Zaire helped shape his style, as it shares an affinity with tribal works; although Josef's work is original, and he lives in the thoroughly modern city of Vienna Austria. His sculpture is composed of cast iron, wood, and bronze.
