Gemeentemuseum 03 (2014)

The Gemeentemuseum at The Hague, Netherlands is one of the leading museums in the world with the biggest Mondriaan collection (among others ‘Victory Boogie Woogie’, admired by Barrack Obama at the spot) I felt doing a series turning Berlage’s architecture into cubism. This is one of them.

Gemeentemuseum 02 (2014)

The second one of the series, turning to abstraction already. Still a lot of atmospheric depth and perspectives.

Gemeentemuseum 01 (2014)

The first of the ‘Gemeentemuseum series’. This one still is in the recondo mode, investigating what I could do with the subject. I had a vague idea of cubism because there’s a lot in it and the building itself is a complex of cubes. A kind of ode to Mondriaan or would that be too corny?

Abstract Fruits (2013)

cubistic still life oil painting

A search for capturing a still life in my kind of cubism. For this one I looked closely to Cézanne.

Cubistic nude 05 (2013) (sold)

Cubistic nude pastel drawing

One I did as a commission. It’s a combination of straight planes and round forms putting the stress on the model’s movements.

Cubist nude 02 (2013)

An abstract cubist depiction of a nude figure seen from the back, composed of interlocking geometric facets in red, pink, blue, and green, painted in oil on linen.

This oil painting ‘Cubist Nude 02 (2013) is a study after movement. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s ‘nu descendant un escalier No 2’.

Cubistic nude 01 (2013) (sold)

Cubistic nude oil painting

One of the early paintings in a distint different cubist style I was searching for. It was my first sales on Saatchiart and my type of cubism has developed into a variety I call ’roundism’.

Cubistic woman (2011)

cubistic nude oil painting

A mixture between expressionism, pointillism and cubism, done by strong complementary constrasts.

Cubistic woman (2010)

Cubistic nude oil painting

This oil painting ‘Cubist Woman (2010) probably is the first painting I made in this style. However, it looks more like stained glass than cubism, I think.
