In 1970, living in the city of Leeuwarden, capital of the province of Frisia (Friesland) of the Netherlands I almost incidentally got into printmaking. I met an artists, Frits Drent, who made beautiful dry points. His work was totally unfashionable, figurative, atmospheric and stimulated me to try the technique. By luck I found an old fashioned leather press which with some improvisation could be used to print dry points, etchings and lino cuts. I was ready to go into the graphic arts.
Frisian landscape. Dry point, 17.5 x 16 cm, 1973, edition 2/15.
Printed on a leather press using mostly studio made ink. The subject is inspired on the Frisian country side: flat, water, skies, windy. Threatened Land. Dry point 19.5 x 16 cm, 1973, 2nd print of 2nd state. Also printed in black. The subject is the looming destruction of our natural environment. The landscape itself is inspired by the dune landscape at the Dutch seaside. Wired. Drypoint. 1972, home made ink on (found) copperplate, 8.5 x 6 cm. Edition: 10/11 |
In 1975 I departed from the Netherlands to start a new life now as full time artist in Zambia. In Zambia there was no shop where you could by all these beautiful materials you use in the fine arts. But there was linoleum. That is how I got into lino cuts.
