Behind the 'Gaasendam veil' a world is hidden
A painter who has become an indispensable part of contemporary painting. As a precursor of the new impressionism, he has established his name for years. He finds his subjects close to home. His studio, the city or, for example, a station restaurant form an endless source of inspiration for him to capture and record intimate moments. And the sea. He is a master at that. With his well-known ‘Gaasendam veil’ he depicts simple scenes, but behind which a whole world seems to be hidden.
