The client saw the works as a digital preview. First one to dark. Second option. Time to consider.
Frans Franciscus
Going through my drawing Diaries as art historians Claar Griffioen an Paul van den Akker are writing about Frans Franciscus. We spend time together in Berlin. I just had finished the Rietveld Academie and Frans was in his last year of Artibus. We were intrigued by the Holy Sebastian. I told Frans More religious stories as he was a Atheist. Me too but was raised as a Catholic.
Cliรซnt visit
Making everything ready for the visit of a client. A great couple who had there house done and have space for a big work. Those are about 200×120 or 150.
The hand of my father. Art Project.
Working on this project about the hand of my father blown away by a grenade right after the war. While cleaning the woods with other young solders. Without any protection or instructions by the Royal Army.
This is one of his old hands that he had kept in his storage.
Eindhoven expo
Two beautiful small expositions, one with little objects. The other about Building a new world. With a.o. Constant Nieuwenhuys, Rob Voerman, Floris Hovers, Gerbrand Burger.
Paleis Het Loo
I had not expected that Paleis Het Loo would be so dark and depressing.
Some nice paintings fought my eye. Gross are the waste paper basket made out of feet of elephants. But yea prince Bernard was above the law.
The gardens had parts that I really liked. From above they looked very open but walking through them give a more intense experience.
G Sus and his cross
Wearing my G Sus beany. See how his cross arises from it. A miracle at the Amstel ๐. Waiting to become holy.
Egyptian mummie portraits
What a stunning exhibition it was at the Historical Museum of Amsterdam.
Lots op portraits of dead people, beautiful expressions and personal signatures.
Loved it.
The Pink Tanker
This beautiful place used to be near the main road but after the introduction of the Metro it had changed into a cultural place. Lots of music and bands perform there.
I wander how it did get its name ๐
On the other side we have the Blue Tanker that is painted Yellow. For the good observer ๐
