Man with Donkey Painting

Lex Grote starts with an image, a sound, a tension. He devotes himself completely to craftsmanship and an explosion of emotion. He takes action. Follows the dynamics. He builds graphic lines for basics. After which he starts to build spaces. He paints layer on layer, hiding some colours and emphasising other areas. Repeating patterns. He looks, puts away en looks again. "My ideal painting is a power and honoust canvas with emotion and intelligence." Over and over again he makes this interesting journey.
