About the Item

framed dimensions: 19 in. x 16 in. Johannes Boekhoudt is a Dutch artist born on October 20, 1966. In 1973, Boekhoudt immigrated with his parents to Costa Rica, eventually working as a commercial and air ambulance pilot until moving to Texas. He is best known as the artist of crosses, working in many formats, especially large oil on linen and canvas. An inventive creator, he also constructs elemental sculptures out of reclaimed materials such as wood and old clocks. Since the beginning of his career, the core themes of his works have revolved around human rights, social justice, children’s rights, and women’s rights. Boekhoudt addresses atrocities such as child abuse, domestic violence, and organ trafficking, as well as social injustices arising due to worldwide political instability. The unlimited panorama of global crises encouraged him to become a journalistic artist. Documenting those social matters creates an opportunity to empower the younger generation to make a change. Boekhoudt fulfills his humanitarian vision by donating his works to charity auctions and other social nonprofit entities. He currently lives and works in his art studio in Rockwall, TX. Boekhoudt’s work is included in a number of public and private collections both nationally and internationally.
