Neo- Classisme landschappen en stillevens op
de wijze van de 16de en 17de Eeuwse Vlaamse en Nederlandse meesters geschilderd.
Hierbij worden verscheidene lagen (soms tot 7)olieverf over elkaar gelegd.
Zeer tijdrovend, maar het resultaat is subliem, het werk krijgt alzo veel meer diepte.

Geboren in Eindhoven, Nederland, september 1945.
Hij studeerde aan de Nederlandse Kunstnijverheid school te Eindhoven en
volgde daarna in de jaren 80 en 90 lessen bij de gerenomeerde Nederlandse kunstenaar
Cornelis Le Mair.
In 1989behaalde hij het diploma MASTER ARTIST - STILLEVENS
aan de Academie van Schone Kunsten te Antwerpen .
Na een verhuis naar Nieuw Zeeland, verhuisde deze kunstenaar tenslotte naar
Syndney(Australië), waar hij nu nog steeds woont.

Werken in prive collecties zowel in Australie als in oa. Hong Kong, Zuid-Africa en Nederland.

Elk kunstwerk is een meesterwerk en getuigt van vakmanschap !

~~~~~~~~

Painter of magnificent neo-Classic landscapes
and sumptuous still life's in the manner of
the sixteenth and seventeenth century Dutch and Flemish old masters.

Born in Eindhoven , the Netherlands , September 1945.

A student at the Dutch "Kunstnijverheid" school in Eindhoven in the 1960's .
Jos continued his "indepth" studies in the 1970's and 1980's under
the tutelage of the renowned living Dutch artist Cornelis Le Mair.
This association led to Jos receiving the highly coveted diploma of
" Master Artist - Still Life" from the Academy of Fine Arts , Antwerp , Belgium , in 1989.
The collaboration continued with visits by Cornelis Le Mair to the
artist's studios in New Zealand and Sydney , Australia .

During the 1960's and 70's Jos researched the techniques used
and perfected by the Dutch Old Masters.
A long forgotten technique originally developed by the Van Eyck brothers in the 15 th century,
This involves the application of successive oil glaze layers between
layers of paint This gives incredible depth to the finished work.
An arduous, not to mention hazardous technique,
Jos uses this painting style to perfection in many of his still-life paintings.
During this very time consuming process the Artist,
completely repaints a scene four, five or sometimes even six times.
It is because of this, that Jos's annual output
of his sumptuous detailed still-life's is very limited.

In search of warmer climatic conditions
Jos moved from his native country, The Netherlands, to New Zealand in 1973.
Then in 1986 he moved to Sydney Australia to settle.

A lifetime of training, study, experience and the creation
of exquisite masterpieces has earned Jos an enviable international reputation.
His work is much sought after and in demand, hanging
in public and private collections in Australia , New Zealand , Hong Kong ,
Japan , North and South America , the United Kingdom ,
several of the European Countries and South Africa .
