"Nature
and Imagination"
It is remarkable to see that the
Dutch Painter, Ton Dubbeldam, often chooses themes that beautifully come
together with his impressionistic and pointillist techniques.
There is a certain atmosphere about his canvasses, which will give you
the feelings of a 17th century landscape painting. You will notice
his specific use of light and dark shades, the depth, the high skies,
the wilderness and the far horizons, which are not disrupted by
buildings or trees. The angle from which Ton Dubbeldam views his
subjects are far from traditional. Horizons will sometimes be very
high up and and views, the water and sky are strongly accented.
On Canvasses where nature plays a
leading role, we can only be observers. This is mostly seen in his
paintings, where the person will look away, for instance; a lady at the
pier who is staring from under her hat at the sea and completely forgets
everything around her.
Dubbeldam's paintings in oil,
combined with dry pastel, and sometimes by using spotting and dripping
techniques will make you associate his work with various art forms and
different periods of time.
An important factor in Dubbeldam's
work is the use of light and dark shades, showing a clear luminous
quality. He creates surprising, unexpected perspectives, letting
nature take over and resulting in a totally captivating painting.
Ton Dubbeldam was born in Holland in
1957. he comes from a very artistic family; his father a musician
and his grandfather a painter. Ton studied six years to become an
art teacher, but decided to paint full time when his own artwork began
selling throughout Europe.
