Drawings
Rietveld Refurbished
The somewhat spartan Redblue chair by Rietveld could be handled by an unwitting enthusiastic furniture maker for more comfort. Still, it does rub even if I just draw it. Gerrit Rietveld turning in his grave?
Framing Rietveld
The first Framing Rietveld from 2017 was the reason for a series in 2019. This one preceded the other four, although I didn’t know that at the time. It ended up above the ‘bed’ of the ‘and breakfast’ in B&B-gallery De Kunstpraktijk in Veldhoven, as part of my exhibition there in the summer of 2019. When exhibited as ‘Sleep’, a good night’s sleep guaranteed!

Kitchen chair II
A framed drawings annex luxury bookcase seemed to me a suitable gift for people who made a substantial contribution to my book ‘All in the family‘. I liked that so much that it was the start of a series. The simple kitchen chair as in the kitchen of my parental home combined with a one-burner electric hob.
Paperplane
A frame in the form of a paper airplane, the seat as the seat of the pilot and as the logo of the airline.
Art appreciation
Four of us gathered around an edge. Or is it a list? Yes, a frame that frames a piece of wall that this quartet is looking at. Art appreciation avant la lettre: wall is art.
