About the Item

Yvonne Heemskerk Judith Oil and bitumen on canvas 120 x 180 cm This painting shows the most important things in the works of Dutch painter Yvonne Heemskerk, female strength and the love for the material. Painted with oils and bitumen to give the layers a kind of roughness that she wants to have for showing what fire does. The artist herself explains about this work: Sharing my process and deeper feelings about my painting Judith. My first painting shown with my new found medium… tar(bitumen)!! The roughness of the material is the starter of it all. Underneath all these colors there is this wild, rough untamed sticky basic, that tries to get a grip on you, you have to find a way to work with it….take it or leave it!! Also a big part of the story about what happened before Judith did her thing with Holofernes. For me the tar is not “just a medium”, it is an important part of this story, but also about life itself. Many times in life we have to build up again or on top of things that shattered our lives, made us feel lost or deeply sad. We can’t close our eyes for these things that live in our shadow, they are part of what and who we are, how we grow out of it!l I am so thankful for everything that happened in my life, the happy but also the darker times, it made me to what I am today🖤 Many thanks to all the people that entered my life and made me find my path🖤 With her technique, which is loose on the one hand and very accurate on the other, Heemskerk knows how to express the power of women in a particularly striking way. Her use of color in, for example, the skin of her figures also contributes to this. It should also be mentioned that some of her works are surprisingly large in size, so you literally won't just pass them by! We will be happy to answer your questions about this work or send you additional information. We ship our art for free in a custom made wooden crate.

Thee girl in the old House - 21st Century Contemporary Oil Painting of a girl
By Marten Huitsing
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
Marten Huitsing The girl in the old house 70 x 45 cm ( frame is include, with frame the size is 80 x 55 cm) Oil on wood panel The paintings of this artist have been part of the collection of Galerie Bonnard since his graduation (2010) at the Classical Academy of Groningen. Huitsing has quickly become successful, his style, craftsmanship and choice of subject appeals to many people. Yet Marten, he says, does not want to repeat himself. He is always looking for the way of painting that suits him at that moment. The sympathetic artist got national fame because he beautifully portrayed a famous Dutch TV presentator Mart Smeets in the 'Paint the stars' program. Honest, very recognizable and with a narrative painting. Mart Smeets was overwhelmed, praising his comments. Rightly so! From that moment. Marten Huitsing's work has gained increasing popularity, he is an annually returning artist at the renowned PAN and he can hardly cope with the demand for new work. The work that the artist has made for our gallery 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...
