Friends, Barbara Houwers

This medium sized painting is about men, teamwork and above all: about people inspiring eachother through friendship and cooperation. Man with his luggage, talents and “little suitcases” filled with the present and the past continues to be a subject in the work of Barbara Houwers. It also appears to be a metaphor for many subtopics. For that reason Houwers’s work has also been purchased by many collector’s, companies and institutions. This canvas is an attractive piece in the private or corporate interior, leaving much to the imagination of the viewer. About the technique: Expressionist Barbara Houwers painted this subject in vivid bright colours, with spontanious brushstrokes and palet knife traces on the canvas. Houwers paints on the cutting edge of figuration and abstraction. Her technique is striking, with strong lines and expressive gestures. She starts each painting with thin transparent surfaces and creates the main characters in the depiction with strong lines and expressive gestures, Then layer after layer she accomplishes subtle and harmonic color and paint tones. Her paintings can be characterized by their extraordinary transparency. By means of palet knives, structures and a pasty and dynamic use of paint are created. In the last phase she sketches by means of lines the final touches until the composition has reached the right balance. Materials: On first quality linen the painting is streched on a wooden frame, back-stapled and is a ready to hang piece. The edges are painted, so a frame will not be needed. The schipment is in heavvy protecting materials and a wooden crate. www.barbarahouwers.

making wishes, marjan jaspers

Wondering what animals have for rituals I presume they dream like we do.. In this 'serious' painting a white-rabbit looks up in the sky and sees the falling star. He is daydreaming of the future-wishes he has.The child in me make me paint this surrealistic subject. I hope this painting will make you smile and may be at the same time you will appreciate the style of painting. It is important to have a bit of humor in contemporary art..

Two kings one party, Chantal van Houten

D E F O R M S E R I E S 2 0 1 6 / 2 0 1 7 Everything changes around us over the years as we do.. moments of reconsideration and learning points. Over the years I hope that people learn that it’s of no importance how you look, where you are from or what you do for a living. The only thing of importance (from my own perspective) is truthfulness to yourself, and being able to give and share in life and being surrounded by the people that you want to be surrounded by. And also please accept people how there are and don’t judge all the time it’s so easy… See it as a challenge to learn more about something or someone before the judgement comes. So a mix of old and new, figures with a certain emotional load and will tell a colorful (for a change ;-) beautiful new insight. That’s what I’m trying to achieve with these series.

Woven in Time, Gerard 't Hart

The works of Gerard 't Hart confront the observer with an active fascination of the miraculous variety on which the relationship between human beings, nature and culture in this world can be observed. Many canvases form a passionate ode to his testimony. Recent works show abstract, lucid formation of colour in which space and mass seem to coalesce easily. He is inspired by his travels.

When a Horse Appears, Bart Bogers

This Painting is made by Rohan Kumara. Title: When a Horse Appears What I`ve been told. When a horse appears it shows a personal drive, passion and appetite for freedome. It shows a strong motivation that carries one through life. https://www.instagram.com/kumararohan/ Rohan Kumara is an Abstract Expressionist Artist. He puts his feelings in his paintings for himself, hopefully also to inspire other people: “He experienced that we all need love and respect in this world. Sometimes, this can be very difficult to recieve. Through the years, He fel into the darkness a couple of times and at times he felt liberated. When things get tough, it`s hard to keep the game going. Running away is an easier way out, but it does not fix your problems at all. Sometimes you have to stay around long enough for luck to find you. He did a lot of thinking and a lot of dreaming. He always dreamed that he was going to do something special in this world. Something special that may be different and can inspire people. Turning negative into positive. That is how he was able to make art.“

Stories echo still, Wokkel Drp

From the land beneath the sea stories are buried in different layers of soil. A black shadow fills the sky I would like to invite you to look at my complete (or at least part) bodie of work. They hold a strong relation to one and other. They start out in 1997 at the return of the human spirit to nature, the destruction we brought the impact we had. The forgiveness it bares. To evolve into a spiritual journey through time, space, theories, facts, philosophy. To explore past present and future. All pieces hold the mirror to our fears, anxieties, darkness, serenity, hate, love hopes and dreams....
