Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
I use old instruction photographs as inspiration and try to give them a new meaning. I started with book about bandages, which I inherited from my father and after that I went collecting all kind of instruction books from the beginning of the 20th century. The pics I use somehow have to move me. When painting I try to emphasize that specific feeling. Like the the pictoriallists 'painted' with photographs I like to catch the characteristic imaging features of the pictorialists (such as lightning and grain) in paint.The poor quality of some instructional pictures, with scratches and stains, is (imo) an additional element that contributes to the emotional power of the image.
