Thank you everyone for coming to the opening. It was such a nice day! The wonderful singing performance by Mari Fuji really moved me. With Chiemi Fukumori's dance in unison they were fantastic! Thank you very much! I hope to see your performance again somewhere in the Netherlands or maybe..Japan?
During the opening I talked about the importance of esthetics in my art and the influence of Japanese art and architecture. Furthermore I explained some of my prints taking different approaches. Since I went to Japan last year as Artist in Residence at the Itsukaichi Printstudio I mostly made prints. At the moment I am searching for a more "poetic" way of expressing light by using Japanese pigments. Also I am adding more elements of nature into my paintings. A begin has already been made in the diptych prints 'Shoji Window'.
The day ended with a Workshop Shodo (calligraphy) by Chiemi Fukumori. Enthusiastically she told us about the Japanese characters 'Kanji' and the way of writing. I was surprised to hear about the strokes inside the kanji 'wind' (Japanese: 風) meaning 'worm'.

If you didn't have the chance to come to the opening; my paintings, prints and paper boxes will be in Wunderkammer until the 21st of August. For other questions, please leave a message.

Solo exhibition 'gloss over'

Sunday the 12th of July is the opening of my solo exhibition 'Gloss Over' at Wunderkammer in Amsterdam. 'Gloss Over' can mean to 'make attractive' and even 'to cover up'. Or just something that leaves a glossy shine.
I am inspired by Japanese culture, the architecture and landscape. Though I suspect that Japanese culture and architecture aren't two separate matters. I would like to refer to the essay "In praise of shadows' by Junichiro Tanizaki.
At Wunderkammer I will show my latest linocut and woodcut prints. The square shape is derived from the latticework of the Japanese shojiscreen (the shojiscreen can be seen in my previous woodcut prints also at Wunderkammer). Furthermore there will be paper light-objects and paintings, one of which will be shown for the first time.
Looking out of the windows in Japan in 2014, the view of the mountains was 'disrupted' by electricity cables. This 'cutting through' space and dealing with it on a two dimensional plane has been my subject of study for quite a while.
The things that are around us everyday, but we hardly pay attention to. Things that you find ugly or simply necessary. I think that everything should be beautiful. And to be true, I don't find it hard to imagine.
I hope to see you at the opening!
