New Renaissance Artist Henk Fakkeldij
Stimulating the senses, spoiling the mind.
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. 😀
What a great surprise to see the exhibition of Joost Stokhof on the ferry to Amsterdam Noord.
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.
An exhibition in a stable and former blacksmith. Two Friesian artist. One painted the studio of the deceased artist Zoltan, that had turned into an interesting mess.
Summer! Look at my garden: Donec vir aestate flowerer(l) and the Varia dominae aesthetic flowerer. Very exclusive plants.
New works presented. Big thanks to all the beautiful people and organizations who cooperated in this project!
I portrait the residents of Amsterdam-North and their ancestors. Dutch, Surinam, Maroccan, Turkish, Chinese and ++. A mix of cultures! ❤️🎶☀️👍🏼
With Friend and director Tjepke Zijlstra from Luim film. He gave me the assignment to deliver visuals for his experimental film/installation; Crash.
I focus on the energie and flashbacks de main character has when he left the car after been in a severe crash! We stand in front of the visual research that should finally become a graphic score. It is very abstract.
As research I did a.o. an interview with a person who had been clinical dead two times.
Do you have a sort of experience like that?
It’s been quit a while since I was an active mail-art artist. I worked in Other Books And So with Ulises Carrión (his picture on the wall of my studio) and had my share of books, stamps, exhibitions etc.
These questions came in my mind: what is the meaning of mail art nowadays. Esp. in relation to all the communication we already have?
What does it do to for you?
Are there big players?
How does it work today?
How does mail art relate to other artforms?
Inspired by a horrible picture I found while doing research for the WWI project.
The singing ringing tree, teedeleedee. For my baby. I need an adventure. Titels of the works now in the collection of Akzo Nobel .
Great to have the curator Augusti of Akzo Nobel over. They have a interest in my latest work. My Re-tweets, based on tweets.
A series of my watercolors on the ground. At the back my work for the graphic exhibition, a huge monotype.
