ACTUAL EXPOSITION | PAUL HUF

Paul Huf was ‚the figurehead‘ of Dutch photography for many years. He portrayed many famous Dutch people, but also became known for his advertising and fashion photography. Huf’s photos are glamorous and have an almost un-Dutch allure.

Paul Huf started as a photographer at the theater company Comedia in 1946. He made staged studio images, glamor portraits, advertising campaigns and glossy fashion reports. In the 1950s, Huf became known for portraying the then Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard. The photos in the decades-long advertising campaign Craftsmanship is Mastery of the beer brand Grolsch were also by him. His series of sixty color record covers for classical music, commissioned by Philips in 1954, was legendary. Huf also made films, including a documentary portrait of painter Carel Willink (1975).

Huf won a gold medal at the Venice Biennales of 1957 and 1965.

In 2000, the Rijksmuseum decided to name a photography acquisition fund after him, the Paul Huf Fund.

Since 2002, the Grote Paul has been awarded annually to a photographer who, according to his own peers, is the best top photographer of that year. The Great Paul is a tribute to Paul Huf. In 2002, the first Grand Paul was awarded to Huf himself.

PAST EXPOSITION | DONALD VAN SCHILT

Dutch artist Donald van Schilt has a passion for American muscle cars, typography, tattoos and icons from the past. He brings these fascinations together in his art. His work consists of semi-abstract compositions in which different images and materials are mixed. The result: mixed media collages with a raw urban look.

His collages come to life with the help of augmented reality. This addition gives depth to his work, allowing you as a viewer to virtually explore the different layers.

PAST EXPOSITION | ALBERTO RAMIREZ

PAST EXPOSITION | TWAN VAN DE VORSTENBOSCH

Twan van de Vorstenbosch was born in 1963 in Noord-Brabant (the Netherlands). Twan painted everything he saw at a young age. Without any training in drawing or painting, he evolved his own style and learned to use new materials. Encouraged by his parents, Twan developed into a driven artist.

His current work exudes ‘challenge’, both in form and content and has a cultural influence. The power in his work is due to the daring composition of image, color and material. His very varied themes, combined with his technique, ensure a balanced work with beautiful details. Twan describes his work as ‘Free Art Styling’.

Twan tells his story with his paintings. That is important to him. Like everything that he painted is original and artisan. Sometimes he seeks cooperation with his son Marvin (born in 1993). Designing, experimenting and painting together is becoming more common. Marvin, in turn, is encouraged by Twan to develop creativity.

PAST EXPOSITION | PATRICIA MEIJERS

Born and raised in the green hills of Limburg. In 1993 I completed the training to graphic/illustrative designer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht. Against this background, I am now working as a communications consultant. And in my spare time I paint.

Painting for me is an inner path acting the outer. I work with acrylic paint quickly and dynamically or in a precisely controlled and gentle way on the canvas. I use brushes, palette knives but also my fingers to create a lively work. This creates a play of power, tone, color and depth. My form language can be described as an abstract figurative style

PAST EXPOSITION | LILIAN VAN STEKELENBURG

The work of Lilian van Stekelenburg is colorful, fanciful, cheerful and appealing. Lilian is an Eindhoven multidisciplinary designer. Her prints and patterns are instantly recognizable. Designer, artist, stylist, collector: it all applies to Lilian van Stekelenburg (1966). Despite this extensive range of work over the past twenty years, Lilian has a very own style developed with a strong graphic impact.

Lilian received real fame with her flashy packing paper with icons of Eindhoven and the Eindhoven dress. “I like everything : so my work is not to to be summarized in one word. I’m Interior, product and graphic designer, stylist, collector, screen printer and artist. I can’t stand routine and regularity so this is for me the perfect combination.“, says van Stekelenburg.

Lilian finds inspiration in literally everything around her. Travel, magazines, packaging, internet, history, lyrics, ads, movies, books, comics, museums, graffiti, designs, pin-ups, tattoos, pop culture: everything serves as inspiration.

PAST EXPOSITION | GEORGE HEIDWEILER

The work of George Heidweiller is essentially pluriform – in form, content and technique. From his classical back-ground, Heidweiller studied painting and graphic design at the Royal Academy in the Hague, he examines all possible techniques that a painting could master. You would be best to approach the art piece as an engineering collage.

Heidweiller combines gyclee, screen printing, oil paint, goldleaf and collage in a work. Despite the expressive fragmentation in his work, Heidweillers visual language is bright. He uses icons of Western culture, pin-up’s, torrero’s, spacemen, chevrolets and the skyline of New York with in-corporated advertising items such as Coca-Cola, but without the usual exhibitionism.

PAST EXPOSITION | JEAN-PAUL MARSMAN

On the one hand, there are colourful figurative works with graffiti-influences that rubs against Pop Art. Expressionist work in which image and text are equally important and re-inforce one another. This work reflects the rich imagination of the artist and comes from inspiration of everyday events, which clearly shows his graphic advertising background.

On the other hand, there are muted hyper realistic works. In which the classic craft of the 17th century the monumental painting techniques showcases the timeless nature of his compositions. These works are characterized by the refined detail and the layering of colours, that create true masterpieces.
