May 3 – October 2 | Park Lingezegen | Elst
Participation in the art project The Colorfield Performance.

This art project will take place from May 3rd to October 2nd in Park Lingezegen, Elst, Gelderland Province, the Netherlands. As a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’, this project enjoys great public interest; last year 68,000 visitors came along. The Colorfield Performance manifests itself as a large color field and forms a temporary marker in a special landscape. The project will gradually consist of 500 paintings made by about 470 visual artists from 25 different countries. The arrangement of the panels forms a gigantic ellipse of 144 x 55 meters. The participants will have to make a painting on the spot in one day.

The Colorfield Performance

From April 2023, a hiking trail will be set out on the Wellenseind estate in Lage Mierde, along locations where watercolours were made. The trail is available in the meeting center and restaurant Voor Anker. The book Brabantse Heerlijkheden can also be purchased (€ 22,50), as well as boxes with postcards (€ 10).

Watercolours have sizes 48×36 and 40×30 cm; they are for sale for a fixed price of 200 euros, without frame.

Art in the Clock Building

Art Eindhoven took place on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 February 2023 in the Klokgebouw in Eindhoven. The Klokgebouw is an old Philips factory that exudes the atmosphere of yesteryear. The industrial and nostalgic environment offers Art Eindhoven a suitable backdrop.

At the fair I showed my watercolours (of which an example is on the left) and small sculptures.

As one of ten artists, my graphic work has been nominated for the Dutch Graphic Art Award. My work was rated above average by Jakunst.

The nominated artists

From November 2022, all art on the Tilburg University campus has been documented and placed on the website. Since 1992, a sculpture from me has been standing on the extreme south side of the campus, adjacent to the terrace of the mensa of the Cobbenhagen building. At the time, I was an employee of the university and I signed for the winning design as a result of a competition on the occasion of the institution’s 65th anniversary. The title is related to the discussion about meaning and identity that was being held at the university during those years.

September 2022 – September 2023

From September 2022, the Biblical Museum and Buitenplaats Doornburgh in The Netherlands are organizing an exhibition with the title Exodus, on the way to liberation. It deals with themes such as fleeing, slavery and liberation.

For the time being, 60 works will be selected for the digital exhibition on the website of the Biblical Museum. My participation is with the spatial work: Beyond The Border.

In May a box of 10 picture-postcards with my watercolours from the book Brabantse Heerlijkheden was published by Bekking & Blitz. These postcard-boxes can be purchased in museums, special shops, or with the publisher.  In the meantime a second edition has been published.
