WINTER EN PLEIN AIR

>One month art project.
Normally I work En Plein Air in the summer. This is a winter experiment. I make outdoor studies of light, movement, growth and changes. Representing the inner life with nature images and situations. As inspiration for my future abstract artworks made of recycled plexiglass and on canvas.

THE TIME SPIRIT
ONLINE EXPOSITION, SMALL PAINTING

  • 9 – 30 Oct.
  • 28 Sept. until 8 Oct. Vips preview

The Zeitgeist
Sub-theme of my art, which is generally about our movement through life. Strong changes shake up the emotions. With an image of nature, figures and abstractions I translate it into all kinds of works of art. Often large, but also small.

Searched 9 small canvases together, for what I thought fit the current time. Also some new ones. About vision, about what disappears and what still is. About condensing situations and communication, whispering.

During the time I couldn’t exhibit because of the corona measures, I held serveral open days in my studio. Online by webcam via WhatsApp videocalls and Zoom. Also physically as soon as that was possible again, by appointment.

I also participated several times in the Online Open Ateliers with a group of Dutch artists from Sweden, France, Portugal, Greece and the Netherlands. The public could visit the workshops live via the Jitsimeet app.

Since then I have webcam presentations from the studio as an extra service.
