About the Item

Abstract Expressionist oil and acrylic on paper by Dutch artist Joep Goeting. Signed and dated 1972 to the bottom left and presented under glass in a gilt wooden frame. An early and colourful painting by this highly expressive Dutch artist who gave his first exhibition in 1972, the year this work was created. Fields of beautiful colour emerge giving a sense of a landscape but tenuous, not quite within our grasp. Goeting was fascinated by changing nature both natural and man-made. Therefore his paintings seem familiar yet at the same time slightly mysterious. Joep Goeting (The Hague, 1946 - Amsterdam, 29 November 1986) was a Dutch artist, painter, sculptor and ceramicist. Goeting studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in Arnhem, then at the National Academy of Visual Arts in Amsterdam. He lived and worked in The Hague, Arnhem, Amsterdam and in Calabui, a hamlet in Bàscara (Spain). In 1972 he had his first exhibition at Ina Broerse in Amsterdam. In 1974 a stipend was awarded by the CRM. Techniques: drawing, painting, watercolours, gouaches, mixed media and ceramics. His work is part of the collection of, among others, the Haags Gemeentemuseum, Museum Los Angeles and the Institut Néerlandais in Paris. He had many exhibitions, including Amsterdam, The Hague, Paris, Nagoa (Japan), Cologne and New York. The work of Joep Goeting is determined by masked figures and by abstractions of landscapes or spatial 'rooms', in which there are often signs, crossed lines or chessboard motifs. These images seem to come from a mysterious world, from a mythology unknown to us. Goeting conjured up this world from the strange flora and fauna that characterised his earlier work around 1973: wondrous insects and plants that fly and thrive in surreal landscapes, white ceramic reliefs from which a silent moss-like flora grows upwards, perforated in various places with pinpricks, like old white Delft colanders; earthenware sculptures that are reminiscent of tree trunks with fungus-like shapes or ending in a crown of fairy-tale leaves, in which strange animals and even masks are hidden. Goeting loved nature and especially its source, the earth. From his Catalan studio he looked out over the fields, which had been given a structure by man and which changed shape every time they were worked. He was fascinated by this, by the colour, by the shape, by the changeable. Goeting also worked on nature and transformed it into something else. No imitation, but like the farmers he cultivated what people saw adding to the original without overexploiting it. However southern his work may seem, Goeting's way of working was different. He worked intuitively, emotionally and expressively. First he created chaos, a skin with different materials, which is why his gouaches and paintings can sometimes be better called painted collages. Then he brought order to that confusing field, he cleared it up, so that an image would emerge, which may or may not be further developed. There is a certain dualism, or rather two-poleness in Goeting's work: it has to do with nature and culture, with north and south, with feeling and reason, with action and contemplation, closed and open, dark and light. That dualism makes the work intriguing and because of that tensions arise.
