The hand of my father

The hand of my father. First painting finished in 2025.

My father lost his hand due to an exploding hand-grenade on March 14, 1946 while serving the army in Hulten, when young soldiers had to clean the ammunition of WOII without any protection or instructions. He saved the lives of everyone who was set to work there. He never got any credits.

Exhibitions

The fernissages were great and well visited. Kunsttraject is een open air exhibition and about 60 people endured the cold for the beauty of art outside. About 1300+ visitors in Arti et Amititae.
Details of my paintings. Crash was the theme. A visual exploration of how energie could be visualiser after a car crash where film director Tjepke Zijlstra had been in.

Drawing under hypnosis

I scratched this picture into a soft prepared surface under hypnose. I had a record with hypnose instructions made together with prof. Drs. Jan Willem van der Does whom I had invited to do an hypnose art project with me. Oldy but goody. 😀

Studio visit

Claar Griffioen and Paul van den Akker visited me in my studio to have an interview about Frans Franciscus or Frans van den Vooren. They write a book about him and his art.

I was with Frans in Berlin in 1984. Pim my nephew was with him and I met Also Erwin Olaf there. It was a great time of exploration and discussing each others art.

Brunch and talks and showing works

Work from the Berlin time. Morning cock and the opera singer are from Frans. The others are from me.
