Jantien de Boer
Touch- 21st Century Oilpainting of a girl floating and reflecting in the water

2019

About the Item

This painting is made by Dutch artist Jantien de Boer (1984, Classical Academy for Painting Groningen) The artist likes to tell a story in her paintings. She freezes the moment that demands her attention. The posing woman who turns her gaze away and turns to herself, alone with her thoughts, is immortalized in that stillness. But she also literally stops the image. In her water paintings, which often take place below the surface of the water, she does not rely on photographs but on film material. She investigates the movement of her models under water. The silence, the peace, the weightlessness and also the resistance that the water evokes. As modern water nymphs, her water-ladies wade, sink and sink through carefully composed underwater worlds. Sometimes the depth is unmistakably dark, sometimes fairy-tale-like with bright waterplants. The paintings by Jantien de Boer create a world of their own, in which reality and fantasy merge. It is theater: intended to create an experience that comes in. With a direct and accurate test she transfers that experience to the canvas. Jantien graduated in 2009 as art historian at the University of Groningen and then went to the Classical Academy for Visual Arts. She completed it in 2013. In her final year she received a scholarship from the Coba de Groot Foundation and a scholarship from the Hoedemaker-Labberté Fund. Since 2014 she has a permanent appointment as a teacher at the Classical Academy. In 2017 Jantien was nominated with no less than two paintings for the 1st Dutch Portrait Award and her work on Soestdijk Palace was shown. Her work can be seen permanently in our gallery. Paintings and sculptures will be shipped for free. We ship in a handmade wooden crate all over the world. Feel free to ask anything about this artist and her works.

"A Candid Moment" Oil Painting by Calvin Lai Featuring Female Portrait
By Calvin Lai
Located in Denver, CO
Calvin Lai's (US based) "A Candid Moment" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a female portrait with her face in profile and contrasted with a blue background. The painting is framed, with overall dimensions of 16 x 13 inches, Artist Bio: Calvin Lai's art is a mixture of medicine, meditation, and personal growth. He found early on that drawing was something he loved, and to make a picture appear lifelike became his goal. Through constantly drawing, his work began to breath, and his fascination with value and perspective led Calvin to become a student of realism. Eventually he moved from where he grew up in Los Angeles to San Francisco. There he studied drawing and printmaking at San Francisco State University. In 2008, he enrolled in the Academy of Art for illustration, but began painting instead. He found that he preferred the fine arts over commercial illustration...
