Surrealism
Wet dream (2009) (sold)
In 2009 my bathroom was finished and I was taking a bath. Due to lavender oil I dreamt away and saw a woman floating towards me.
Elysian fields (2008)
A big surrealistic oil painting. Surrealism – with Salvador Dali as exceptional example – always has drawn my attention.
Love in vain (2008) (sold)
A commissionary piece for someone who loves the blues. Robert Johnson with his guitar walking from the departing train.
Maris (2008) (sold)
A painting I made for my exhibition in 2008 at museum ‘Marishuis’ at Heumen, Gelderland, Nederland.
Flames (2007)
A surreastic oil painting with an ashtray and flowers as cigars. I liked painting the texture of fire so I had to come up with a dark negative space to sett off the light sufficiently.
Grassy Knoll 1 (2007)
The original oil painting on which I based a much larger version. I was fantasizing what would have happened in the days before the assassination of president John F. Kennedy at the very spot (Dealy Plaza).
Grassy knoll 2 (2007) (sold)
A commissionary piece for someone you wanted a bigger version of the one I already painted.
Lust (2007) (sold)
Not a real surrealistic painting but almost ‘alternative realism’. A woman reading the newspapers. One used condom on the floor, half a bottle of wine with two empty glasses. One cup of coffee on bed.
Strelizia (2007)
In my ever struggle with still lifes I wanted to do a styled flower like a Strelizia and put it in a granate shell my grandfather retrieved from a German Flak position at Nijmegen during W.W. II and light it with a maclite mini torch from within the shell.
Secret of the 50s (2007)
A surrealistic piece on Al Zarqawi and a domestic scene on the face of the moon.
Sub rosa (2007) (sold)
Twice it came back to me because of the partner of the purchaser didn’t agree with the vibrator. The third time was a charm.
Scared tomatoes (2007)
A surrealistic still life because, after all, still lifes are very boring and very still in the first place.
