Marten Huitsing
Turn to stone - 21st century, figure painting of two women by Marten Huitsing

2017

About the Item

The sympathetic artist got national fame because he beautifully portrayed Mart Smeets in the 'Sterren op de doek' program. Honest, very recognizable and with a narrative painting. Mart Smeets was overwhelmed, praising his comments. Rightly so! From that moment on, Marten Huitsing's work has gained increasing popularity, he is an annually returning artist on the renowned PAN and he can hardly cope with the demand for new work. The new work that the artist has made for this exhibition shows that there is always a balanced composition. In the collection there is one painting that is directly an ode to an older master, both often with Marten Huitsing. He did that before. In this case an ode to the French painter William Bougeureau. Other years there was also an ode to the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi. This shows how the work of Huitsing is rooted in the history of painting. The balanced composition always contains one or a few figures, in a landscape or environment. The composition, the posture and the colors in the work tell a story. What story determines the viewer. The artist does provide some information. Attributes, beautiful fabrics, an environment, color and light. Buyers of a work by Marten Huitsing told us at the purchase that the purchased work strongly reminded them of growing their own daughters, the attitude of the painted girl, the use of color, choice of clothes. Very special!
