For the third consecutive season, the Amelander Musea and the Amelander Kunstenaars are collaborating on the exhibition "Zomer Vol Kunst" (Summer Full of Art) at the Amelander Cultuurmuseum in Nes. This year, the museum's exhibition has been expanded to include new themes such as island traditions and cultural events, alongside a selection of beautiful paintings and graphic artworks from the museum's collections. 

I am delighted to participate once again in the temporary group show of the Amelander Kunstenaars at the museum with my piece "Downstairs XIII" (aka the "Sewing Girl in Anchers Hus"). I am also proud to have contributed to the organisation of the show and to have taken part in the new interior design and arrangements for the permanent exhibitions at the museum.

You'll Get Over It

  What could possibly happen? Something tragic, I assume. I am sure you can imagine dozens of situations where this setting could be possible. Regret, revelation, anger, shock, despair, compassion, support, consolation, reassurance, forgiveness, unbelief, doubt, fear... All of these might apply to the people in this painting. And all these are actually expressed with hands. And there will be nothing of these when you think those hands away, I'm afraid.   This is another small one in my series Hands' Private Life. I painted it all prima with my limited palette of Burnt sienna, Ultramarine blue, Yellow ochre, Cadmium red and Titanium white. As reference, I used the photographs Paul and myself took of me and my hands, in four different settings.    While thinking about how to name this piece, with my music on, the Legacy by PSB suddenly started to playback. The lyrics were so true, my mood was quite down, and the title was chosen. (And first I was thinking of calli...
