Frank Dekkers
''At Lopikerkapel'', Contemporary Dutch Oil Painting of a Landscape in Spring

2021

About the Item

Frank Dekkers (1961) is a landscape painter par excellence. Full of dedication and diligence he always works on location outdoors, defying the elements. The weather plays an important role in his work: An emerging early winter, heavy summer rain, lightning storms and flaming sunsets form endless sources of inspiration. ''At Lopikerkapel'' is a bright and colorful depiction of a spring-like landscape. A landscape that does not need anything outside itself. This piece has an interesting and playful composition: Frank uses the lively growth of the flowery field to create different lines. Once the work is hanged inside, it gives the impression of an open window to nature. Like 19th century painters as Monet or Renoir he takes his easel, panel and oil paint outside where Frank finds the peace and quiet to create his paintings. Being outside, experiencing the landscape, the passing of the day, is what makes him paint. Dekkers masters many techniques, such as etching, woodcutting, ink drawing and painting in oil. Whatever the technique he uses, his work is always recognizable by his unique signature. He can accurately depict the essence of the landscape, using minimal resources. By reducing his subjects to lines, surfaces, colors and light, he shows us his interpretation of the landscape without it becoming unrecognizable to those who haven’t been there. On the back of every panel Frank notes down the coordinates, the exact spot Frank painted the landscape. Type the coordinates in Google Maps and you can stand where he stood. Frank Dekkers studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in Utrecht (the Netherlands) and was featured in several solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries at home and abroad. The frame is painted by Frank himself in a color that you will also see in all his paintings. It gives every landscape more depth.
