Exhibition Princenhage, august 2020
To celebrate my 70th birthday and the fact that I have been painting for 45 years, the Princenhaags Museum asked me to do this exhibition. I'm going to do it in dialogue with two 19th century masters: Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh. An exhibition under the sign of two mountains in France:
-The Alpilles in the background of Van Gogh's landscapes.

During March and April 2020 I have been working in the AIR In Zunderrt
With the Van Gogh artist-in-residence program, the Vincent van GoghHuis in Zundert wants to follow Vincent’s dream of “the studio of the South”.
Organisation
The guest studio, idyllically situated on the grounds of the Protestant church where Vincent’s father preached, with the sexton’s house and the vegetable garden, offers contemporary artists the opportunity to work in peace for a while. What the guests have in common is that they are inspired in one way or another by the life and work of Vincent van Gogh.
With this link you can virtualy look around in this studio whilst I am working there:
