ART FOR KIDS HAVING CANCER - DIDILLON PAINTS WITH VIP

He once walked for Kirsten Dunst 300 miles from San Francisco to L.A. and donated her his WALK OF FLAME. One year later, he made a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago through Belgium and the Netherlands to France in order to collect donations for amnesty international and its fight against female genital mutilation and for the rights of women in the Third World. Now wants the artist Christophe Didillon to create paintings together with prominent persons in order to sale the paintings by auction. Finally, the auction proceeds will be given to a society that advocates the interests of children

and juveniles suffering from cancer.
Didillon: "My idealism comes from an experience in my own childhood. The brother of my classmate had leukaemia, and it took a long period until he died. Every day I could see this boy, when I visited my classmate. But one day, he had gone… This experience deeply engraved on my memory."
Even though it is a serious theme, I try to help in a cheerful way. Just a few days ago, I distributed my flyer on the Croisette at the Film Festival in Cannes, wearing a SPIDER-MAN costume, because I would like to create a painting together with Kirsten Dunst, a Hollywood actress. Admittedly, I felt a little bit nuts to act as SPIDER-MAN and to walk over the Croisette for hours and hours every day of the Festival in order to inform the public about my painting project. However, what else could I do? As an artist, you need sometimes to appear very colourful and shrill in order to get attention and acknowledgement for your idea. Otherwise, there is no one who takes you with your idea seriously. I don't want to get told by people for the rest of my life, "Your idea to do paintings for children with cancer sounds very nice, but you aren't famous enough for a meeting with me!"
As me was told in the meantime, Kirsten received information about my desire. She appreciates my efforts for the suffering children, but she is too busy for a painter meeting with me in the moment. "Maybe later on…"
I accept Kirsten's answer and search for an alternative prominent painter. Fortunately, my painting project is not dependent upon one certain person, and I already received an alternative promise by another prominent representative of the movie world. At present, I want to observe secrecy about the name of this person, until all things will be settled definitely. Simultaneous, I try to inspire further prominent persons to participate my painting project. Of course, I would work together with less celebrated persons as well. Indeed, as more prominent a painting partner is, as more offers for the paintings can we expect at a sale by auction!"
Christophe Didillon likes to answer every question referring to his project. The resolute action artist and painter asks everybody, who gets information about his action art: "Please, support my idea! If you would like to create a painting with me or know someone else, don't hesitate to inform them and me!"
