A year ago from now this work was selected for a new art project in Otterlo, called galerie2020. Each month a different work is on display from a different artist. 12 months, 12 artists. For me the honour to do the the kick-off on 31 december 2019 to be the first on display during the month of January 2020. The vitrine galerie project is curated by Marian Mijnhardt and can be followed on http://www.galerie2020.nl

During the month of January 2020 several visitors came by to look at my work.

‘The Gift’ is a landscape mostly made of wood in combination with a piece of lost driftwoord which I found on the Lido in Venice, some years earlier. A picture I took in the national park The Everglades in Florida USA inspired me and was the starting point for this composition. Other materials I used are eco-line, acryl-paint and lacquer, green tule and an old coaster to make this composition. To me it represents the reminiscence of different places that you visit during traveling and about making connections between those very different parts of the world. It is about dreaming a world and how you can make your own interpretation of a composed world and reality you have actually seen. In this case a travel to Venice and Florida ended up in a landscape with a more Asian feel to it. To me that is ‘The Gift’

Later that year the work was sold and has found a new home where it is appreciated very much.

Rhododendron

Art, Collage, Contemporary, photograpy

These photo collages are a study of form and an inspiration for sculptural works. I have a fascination for the shapes, size and rhythm of these beautiful rhododendrons. To me they can also be enjoyed just for what they are. One of many important structures of bedding that shape the environment which we live in or spaces we pass through, especially parks. By using these photo’s in a collage manner of working, I was able to move them just the way I wanted. Will be continued….

These cut-out works on paper came as a result of a longing to bring simple forms and shapes together with a more picturesque background, cluster together as one group of forms in an imaginaire landscape. They could be a border of plants or architectural buildings or big stones.

The Sun Has Shone That Day

Geen categorie, Photo

Versie 3

This Picture is taken om the big busy square in front of the Museo d’ Art Contemporani    (MACBA) in Barcelona, sort of hidden in the area of El Raval. There were a few things going on when I came out of my museum visit, a girl eating a little snack, a school class playing outside, people crossing and in front of the entrance of the building there were these two guys playing with a skateboard. The sun was so bright that this situation in mostly black and white, due to the white sunny building and there clothes made me decide to shoot a serie of pictures of the two. I didn’t do anything about the setting of the models, they were talking and walking and suddenly, as if they didn’t want to participate in my photo shooting, they stopped doing what they did… I pressed the camera button. Together they made the image. The sun shone that day.

Last saturday it was given the second price at the yearly organised competition for the Christine Award at the Nieuwe Akademie Utrecht. My contribution was discussed and judged by a jury excisting of o.a. Jan Teun van Rees ( kunstenaar/docent fotoacademie)  en Ilona Plaum ( fotograaf/kunstenares)

I am truly proud of the result.

More Dune Landscape

Geen categorie

Here are more of my studies on how to compose a dune landscape with just one image as a basis. I tried different approaches in painting, drawing, using pieces of newspaper, tape. Using different colors. Most of the works have several layers and became a landscape over a period of 2 months of making decisions of what to keep in the picture and what not. The painting on canvas in orange and yellow became a 2 piece work with an extension of a boxing glove as an element of a imaginary part of a landscape. Will be continued…
