Title: Renssen. La Joie de Peindre 1984-2009
Description: The painter Erik Renssen (1960) lives and works in Broek in Waterland, The Netherlands. He is self-taught, schooled by his own discerning look and the mastery of some great predecessors. His oeuvre consists of mostly large-sized canvases with strong and colourful compositions. The artist's studio is dominated by portraits, still lifes and nudes. In a continuous exploration new solutions are found time and again for classical subjects. A permanent source is the work of Picasso. The field of tension between Renssen and his great source of inspiration is fertile ground for an entirely unique form and vision.
