 –By Dr. Laura Wilhelm, LauraWil Intercultural Beverly Hills, CA (The Hollywood Times) 10/2/17 – “There is no difference between painting and thinking—both can be rational and emotional at the same time.”–Albrecht Behmel  Are you a fan of Marvel and the arts? Read this: Pop artist Albrecht Behmel will unveil his new series “The Dark Side of MARVELous” for a select crowd at the Héritage Wine Bar located at 467 North Canon Drive in Beverly Hills on Thursday, October 19th from 7-10 p.m. Light refreshments will be served for guests to enjoy along with the artworks and music. Tickets cost $220 and all proceeds from the ticket and art sales will be donated to UNICEF on behalf of earthquake victims in Mexico.
 Among the pieces in Albrecht Behmel’s MARVELous show will be spectacular acrylic and ink renderings of super villains Loki, Moonstone, Mystique, Sabretooth, and Thanos as well as an undisclosed large work about the Black Panther, the show’s centerpiece.
 “I am fascinated by movie villains,” the award-winning German artist, who is also a bestselling writer, says about his work. “Especially the multi-faceted ones!” Behmel is best known for his unique kaleidoscopic style called The Magic of the Swarms and his private art receptions around the world.
 “Art has strong social value. While we unveil new pieces in this beautiful place for people to acquire, we want to be grateful and mindful, given the current catastrophic events the Mexican people have experienced. Albrecht has a genuine philanthropic heart, and we already had the show scheduled, so we offer our international support and brotherhood to people that desperately need help now, through his beautiful art.”
 Nate Moore, producer of the Marvel movies, will be at the event along with some surprise guests! To attend the event, please reserve your spot at www.themagicoftheswarms.com
