May 1 – August 31

The Colorfield Performance is an art project where you can enjoy paintings in the open air by some 300 artists from 19 different countries. This year, the location is in Groesbeek at the Freedom Museum, in honour of 80 years of freedom. Within one day, artists in small groups will each paint a panel of 1.20 m x 1.20 m. The total of 336 panels has the shape of a large V, which stands for freedom. The artists start on May 1 and the entire art project is finished on August 10. Myself, I painted on May 15. From a raised platform, you have a beautiful view, and you can see the colours interfere under the influence of the light. The address is Wylerbaan 4, Groesbeek. The artworks are also for sale.

For all information, see the website: The Colorfield Performance

KunstRAI has been a leading art fair in the Netherlands for 40 years and a household name in the contemporary art world. Since its inception in 1985, KunstRAI has provided a platform where galleries, artists and collectors come together to present, discover and share art. With a unique focus on both established names and emerging talent, KunstRAI has developed into a diverse and inspiring event accessible to art lovers of all levels. Two small sculptures of mine are on display at the art book publisher Van Spijk including my book Passion for Form and Colour (stand 2).

September 21 – 22 | Art Safari | Hilvarenbeek
September 21 – November 8 | exhibition Cultural Centre Elckerlyc | Excess

During this open studio weekend in the municipality of Hilvarenbeek, art lovers had the opportunity to see the work of over 45 artists. You could take a look in a number of studios and exhibition spaces. You can find the studios and exhibition spaces that participated on the Kunstsafari website. A map with all locations and art routes through the six villages of the municipality could be used. Workshops, music and performances were also organized at various locations. The immense manifestation was a great success.

That weekend, my studio was open between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. I was able to welcome around 100 visitors during these two days.

An exhibition with one work by each participating artist will also run until 8 November 2024 in the Cultural Centre Elckerlyc, with the theme ‘excess’.

In the cultural Center Elckerlyc, Hilvarenbeek, there was an exhibition with photos of the invasion of the Germans, of people in the resistance, of the persecution of the Jews, of people in hiding and of the liberation of Hilvarenbeek and Diessen in October 1944. The exhibition took place in the context of the celebration of 80 years of liberation. In this context, some of my watercolours were on display of locations in the municipality that are related to the war.
