OPEN STUDIO JOS VAN RISWICK AND VINCENT BOELAARTS

In the weekend of saturday the 22nd and sunday the 24th of May 2010, Vincent Boelaarts and Jos van Riswick will open their doors to the public. The fellow artists have moved in to studios in the former building of 'Framy Meubelen' in 'downtown' Nijmegen.

Jos van Riswick paints traditional still life paintings, focusing on light and atmosphere. After having painted in a very realistic style for some years, the artist has sought a more loose touch lately, without loosing a convincing illusionism.

Vincent Boelaarts works in an impressionistic style, combined with strong realistic elements. His works are often built on clear and strong gestures through expressive shapes and areas of color. These forms, often rectangular in shape, take the viewer along in the emotion of the work. In the past 6 months he applied this style to the subject 'Poepende Man'.
