The series on
these pages contains a vast amount of panels in standard size 18x24 cm.
A wide array of emotions is featured in this investigative project that
was once started as an attempt to master various subtleties in expression
and other facial features. In the course of time this body of work has lost
and gained numerous components, gradually spreading across the walls.
The major part of these
portraits was made for an exhibition that took place in october and november
2015, in which the walls of a gallery space in Utrecht were filled floor
to ceiling with portraits. These portraits are made in various techniques
(oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolour, chalk, charcoal, pencil), on various
surfaces (canvas, canvasboard, wood, hardboard, paper, cardboard), their
common denominator being their size. Each portrait measures 18x24 cm. At
the bottom of this page is an impression of this maddening project.
