About the Item
The Fountain I is a unique oil on canvas painting by contemporary artist Joachim van der Vlugt, dimensions are 75 × 140 cm (29.5 × 55.1 in).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Joachim van der Vlugt is the epitome of a contemporary artist and yet gets all his inspiration from the classic Dutch masters. He takes the two traditional registers of landscape and portrait and mixes them around. Armed with a paint palette purposely short on colour and somewhat sombre, black and white, brown, beige and blue, Joachim van der Vlugt superposes the layers of paint which enables him to bring the nuances and intensity of light to the fore, and also allowing images and vaporous shapes to slowly appear.
He composes his paintings, all the while adding the layers, by accentuating certain parts but also by integrating geometric shapes or virtually transparent smears which bring together his compositions forming what he calls “an orchestrated chaos.”

Joachim van der Vlugt
Artist Biography Dutch painter Joachim van der Vlugt was born in 1970 and currently lives in Luxembourg. His body of work presents a synergises an inspiration taken from classic Dutch masters combined with his personal contemporary style. He predominantly creates landscape and portrait impressions. Joachim van der Vlugt trained at the academy of fine arts in Maastricht between 1988 and 1993. After studying he established a personal style that reflects a passion for the great masters of Flemish painting. Using a dim palette of sombre black and white, brown beige and often blue tones, the artist’s body of work is characterised by it’s dazzling, mysterious and esoteric aesthetic. Van der Vlugt uses a layering approach to rendering which enables him to bring the nuances and intensity of light to the fore. This also allows images and vaporous shapes to slowly appear. He composes his paintings by accentuating certain parts but also by integrating geometric shapes or virtually transparent smears. Figurative elements ultimately become abstract until the artist achieves what he describes as "an orchestrated chaos."
He is one of the founding members of the Sixthfloor artist's collective in Koerich, Luxembourg.
For over twenty years Joachim van der Vlugt has been exhibiting largely in Europe, in different galleries in Luxembourg, Holland and Germany, as well as in various contemporary art fairs. Artist Statement “For me, painting has a lot to do with introspection and is a very intimate form of expression but it is not isolated. On the contrary, art is the most direct and intense form of communication. Like thesis and antithesis are core to every philosophical discourse I like to explore how different elements interact. Every action I execute while painting provokes a reaction until a certain balance, harmony is achieved.” – Joachim van der Vlugt

- "Echo 1", Pair of Impressionist Style Oil Painting on Canvas, Waterscape DiptychBy Jill HackneyLocated in St. Louis, MO"A native of New Orleans, Jill Hackney studied painting at The Cleveland Institute of Art and Louisiana State University, where she earned her BFA. She is a founding member and twice president of Studio 801, an artists’ cooperative in Baton Rouge. She was also recently selected as a Fellow of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation for her work as President of the NUNU Arts and Culture Collective. Best known for her still life and landscape work, her focus is to show light’s impact on her subjects through layers of vertical and linear strokes. Using the natural texture of the wood on which she paints, each painting is approached with a sense of nostalgia. The end effect is a union of the senses, which awakens feelings of joy, serenity, and peace. Jill currently functions as the Director of International Communications for NUNU Arts and Culture Collective." "Echo 1", Pair of Impressionist...Category

- Neucleus - 21st Century, Contemporary Art, Abstract, Oil Painting, Spray PaintBy Scott NaismithLocated in Barcelona, Catalonia"My recent work now becomes more involved with cloud cover and its effect on light and colour through both its translucent and opaque properties. Clouds are visible masses of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They have the ability to refract and reflect, creating an ever changing perception of light which inspires my use of colour. I am constantly referring to the paradox of a cloud’s perceived weight and its fragility and the relationship between the cool and warm colours created by it. I have become increasingly interested in catching the moment when heavy overcast clears to reveal clear blue sky, a cool colour that complements the warmth it brings. While the most obvious manifestation of light refraction at this time would occur in the form of a rainbow, I will be concerned with accentuating the infinite, more subtle effects. I find myself inspired increasingly by the works of Turner, who created ephemeral atmospheric effects using large washes of liquid paint. Other influences include Henry Matisse, Francis Cadell...Category
