Eric Schutte
'Collse Watermolen' (Watermill) - 21st Century Contemporary Landscape Painting

2021

About the Item

This portrait of the famous Dutch Watermill is made by Dutch artist Eric Schutte. The painter painted it, standing in the landscape, en plein air with the watermill (also painted by Vincent van Gogh, see picture) in front of him. Our gallery is placed opposite the house where Vincent van Gogh lived with his parents and made a start as a painter in the middle of Nuenen. The Watermill; 'De Collse Watermolen' is in Nuenen too, and isn't changed at all since the time van Gogh painted it. Now it is painted by Eric Schutte, the same mill but a different approach. The start is exactly the same way, just like van Gogh, standing in front of the mill, en plein air. Eric Schutte lives and works in Ommen, in the North East of the Netherlands . He describes his art, paintings and sculptures, as Modern Conceptual Realism. Conceptual because he likes to tell you something else besides the beauty of his subject. In the series he made for his solo exhibition it is about 'The Moment' (Momentum). The use of fresh colors, broad brushstrokes, an an underlying sketch in magenta, beautiful light makes it all very unique and special. Feel free to ask for additional information about this piece or the artist. We will be happy to help you. The painting is not framed, if you like it to be framed we're able to do that in our own framing workshop. We ship our paintings worldwide for free in a custom made wooden crate, just as you see one on the last picture.

    Introduction to Eric Schutte A publication in the art magazine 'Atelier', made us aware of his work. Very special we found his paintings, square-air paintings where the influences of the weather, the light to a special touch and a very colorful whole. Versatile What we do, when we see an artist's work that appeals to us, is to search for other work. This also applies to Eric. His website taught us that he is very versatile. In addition to paintings, Eric has found a special way of design. With waste plastic, iron and other material he makes the most special installations, commissioned, but also free work. An appointment was made quickly! Eric Schutte lives and works in Ommen, his studio is next to a beautiful mill. At the time of visit it is cold, there is some frozen snow and it is almost dark when I arrive. In the studio it is immediately clear that Eric is busy with everything. Mountains with tubes of oil paint, different donkeys with semi-manufactured paintings, a particularly large pile of waste plastic. Eric is an enthusiastic narrator, besides being an artist, he is a drawing teacher for a few days a week. I can imagine how he knows how to enthuse his students! Eric talks about special assignments that constantly lead to new ideas and new 'free works'. (The free work Eric likes to call 'research'.) For example, a cow, at De Brink in Ommen, produced Eric on behalf of the municipality. He made the cow out of iron. Old iron from all farmers in the immediate vicinity of Ommen. With this old iron he constructed a cow, the iron is particularly visible, but also the cow. Very clever! Environments Eric takes me enthusiastically to his work. The paintings, classical in origin, made with elegant imagination, and the images, beautiful and simple at the same time, and therefore also stimulating to look better. With these paintings Eric is always looking for the edge, during the opening exhibition we have a special work from him. Is it a 6-part, or are it 6 separate paintings of a railway crossing where a train is passing by? Anyway, you keep looking at it. Eric tells about this when I pick up the work: "I see something then, and then I want something with it, and this is it. Yes, otherwise I can not explain it ". Another and special piece during the opening exhibition is also by Eric Schutte. A calf made from almost 2000 yellow ear tags of slaughtered calves and iron. Particularly plastic and very lifelike. Eric Schutte is an artist who makes both conceptual and classical work. Eric himself about this: "The conceptual work consists of a figurative design in which the non-obvious use of materials is part of the imagination. The concept also plays a major role in classical work, but the material (use) is more traditional. I consider making images as a continuous game and research in which the idea and the design are equal and influence each other ". The opening exhibition and the work of Erik that we have kept in stock has been sold for a large part. Particularly enthusiastic and enthusiastic are people who see his work. During the exhibition 'Naar buiten!' We show new work by this special artist. Acrylic paintings made in the snow, outside in the cold. Also a number of works of waste plastic. The artist tells about his painting of a forest made from waste plastic: We make a waste mountain from nature, I make nature from waste again. The work is called biotope, our living environment. Nature, but at the same time, our environment is plastic. If later excavations are made to this time, the main thing that is found will be plastic. We live in the plastic age.
