WorksStatementCVCOLLECTIONSVIDEOPressWorksStatement Existential polarities such as love and loss, classical and contemporary, youth and maturity, transience and eternity also characterize the work of Dutch artist Suzanne Jongmans.

WorksStatementCVWorksStatement Wim Claessen Wie op het eerste gezicht kijkt naar het werk van Wim Claessen, ziet landschappen die een eigen sfeer kennen en die bijna ongekend zijn door het bijzondere licht- en kleurgebruik. De werken kunnen daardoor bevreemdend aandoen, maar ook zit die bevreemding in de verstildheid van het geheel. Het heeft iets mystieks dat…
