Jochem de Graaf - Drie Tulpen

Unique and original work by Jochem de Graaf. Canvas stretched on a wooden stretcher. Side is painted, so a frame is not necessary.
Jochem de Graaf lives and works in Bunschoten. Painting is his great passion and he is a typical example of an autodidact. His way of working and use of materials give a special dimension to his paintings: the relief gives an enormous depth effect. This is further emphasized by the incidence of light and shadow. Jochem has an extensive oeuvre and paints a wide range of subjects. In addition to the (female) figures, he also likes to paint flowers, landscapes and cities/villages. All in his recognizable style. The works of art are sometimes set up with modeling paste and are all made with oil paint on linen canvases. He applies the paint to the canvas with a putty knife, thick brush or spatula. Refinement follows with smaller tools.
