With the Boxtel artists’ association Kunstlicht 99, we have been able to temporarily occupy a beautiful retail space on the Markt in Boxtel. We have turned it into a real gallery in a short time. 400 m² of art by various members. Many paintings, although I supply most of the 3D work. A lovely place […]
For a week, I will be part of a group of AININ (Artist in Nature International Network) members creating art on site in the Siegfried Line, the German defense line from World War II. In Eilendorf, just ‘behind’ Vaals, twelve artists and I are working for a week to create our own interpretation of the […]
A group exhibition featuring 5 artists centering on trees, held in two wings of Groeneveld Castle in Baarn. Esther van Keulen (ceramics), Jacqueline Laimböck (paintings), Laura van Dijk (visual arts), Wim Schot (drawings and paintings), Nanne Nauta (poems), and Bart Ensing (sculptures and installations) form a beautiful whole. They all feel the urgency regarding […]
New name, new logo. I already registered my business ten years ago. I called it deVerbeelding (the Imagination). Indeed with a small d and capital V, that’s how I wanted it to be. I made a logo of a wood sculpture, a torso made of apple root wood. Logical, because I made wood sculptures. I […]
All members of Kunstcafé Rivierenland were asked to tell something about their artistry, their development, and where they are now. I did it too, it gives a nice insight that I now also share here. How and when did the artist in you arise… and where are you now? In 2003 I was at home […]
Personally I have not noticed much of the kind of lock down. I spend a lot of time outside, have space to live, don’t know people who have become ill. I was struck by the image of elderly, sometimes people with disabilities, who were no longer allowed to receive visitors, or only through the window. […]
The past few days I was working at Care centre Kulenburg. I tied strings in three pear trees, tied them to the ground with pegs, and spoke to more elderly people than I did in years. Saw family members drop by and have conversations, through the gate, shouting at a balcony. And luckily quite a […]
Many elderly people, especially in care centers, cannot leave their home at the moment. I know musicians are playing at care centers, bringing relief to the residents. I am not musical, but I am creative. If the corona virus were not there, I would exhibit now and build installations. Now that is not possible. Or […]
These are strange times. We sit inside or go outside little. All exhibitions have been canceled. No KunstWandelRoute Hummelo, no Art Route Lochem. You can also no longer visit the Eye Candy 25 exhibition at Galerie Anita Ammerlaan in Roozendaal. But virtually you can! I made a video of the exhibition. Well, actually only from […]
A female figure enters the land from the water, in 5 images. The first figure largely under water, heavy, muddy. The following figures become lighter, more transparent. A woman with dress. The latter, on the shore, is the most open and transparent. It is about the relationship between man and nature, about the connection with […]
