NL (Geboren: 1968, Mumbai) Het overkwam vele kunstenaars van zijn generatie: toen Sunil Padwal de wens uitsprak om beeldende kunst te gaan studeren, ontmoedigde zijn vader hem met het schrikbeeld van de zwoegende kunstenaar die met moeite zou overleven. Met dat in gedachte besloot Padwal om het in de toegepaste kunsten te zoeken, een cursus die ironisch genoeg meer met reclame en verpakkingen te maken heeft dan met schilderen. Na een basisstudie te hebben afgerond aan de J. J. School... Read More Read More
Like many artists of his generation, when Sunil Padwal expressed a desire to pursue a degree in fine arts, his father, imagined a struggling artist striving to make a living, and so he dissuaded him.With that in mind Padwal decided to pursue Applied Arts, instead, a course that ironically deals more with advertising and packaging rather than pure painting. After completing foundation course at J. J. School of Fine Art (1986) Padwal pursued a B.F.A at the J. J. Institute... Read More Read More

Pauline Bakker maakt tijdloos werk met een onmiskenbare eigen signatuur. Zij combineert een enigszins klassieke stijl met een moderne vormgeving. Tevens spelen een lage horizon en een spannend perspectief veelal een prominente rol. De juiste toon in haar schilderijen ontstaat alleen al door haar buitengewoon geschilderde luchtpartijen die zij verbindt met strakke vormen. Verstild en contrastrijk isoleert zij bijvoorbeeld een gebouw of een persoon uit de eigen omgeving om dat vervolgens solitair in een vervreemdend landschap te plaatsen. Een mens,...

Staaf (1973) Onder het pseudoniem ‘Staaf’ verwierf de kunstenaar eind jaren tachtig bekendheid met een serie schilderijen van zijn ´oranje alter ego´, eveneens ´Staaf´ genoemd. De serie ontstond naar aanleiding van een reeks ingrijpende gebeurtenissen, die hij in de vorm van een ´geschilderd dagboek´ vastlegde. In de loop der jaren wisselde zijn werk sterk van vorm, karakter en inhoud. De naam ´Staaf´ heeft hij echter tot op heden aangehouden. Tegenwoordig schildert Staaf intuïtiever. Hij weet van tevoren niet waar het schilderij over... Read More Read More
