Portrait 14
The 14th portrait of a chair by the backrest. This one is from the first series of nine from 2011. After that it was ‘quiet’ in this area until in 2017 again nine new ones appeared.

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.
Painter’s chair II
Sit back after an intensive painting session: that’s okay! And then you know you are covered in the back by the fruits of your own efforts.
Stranded
After some thinking, such a classic folding beach chair turned out to be very easy to process in a kind of continuous pattern. The ultimate sea/beach colors still remain navy blue and white placed on the sand. Where else? Of course a drop shadow because of the sunny weather.
The drawing immediately reminded me of the beach in Rimini in Italy where most of the beach was claimed by hotels and where their territory was marked by rows of carefully arranged beach chairs. A kind of traffic jam for the sea, Stranded from there.
Sit at Itten
From square to (color)circle. My past at the academy, in which we learned to mix colors quite thoroughly on the basis of Johannes Itten‘s color theory, resulting in a self-designed color range, played up when I was working on this basic drawing. This spatial and at the same time flat shape asked for a colorful interpretation: Sitting at Itten.
Time circle VII
In astronomy time circle is a time space in which a number of phenomena repeat themselves.
A circle of tubular frame chairs on a well-polished tiled floor. On? Just above! The intimate connection of this séance leads to elevation. Isn’t that what we would want in every circle discussion?
Chairman
Chairman plays with the pixel, although in this case the pixel is also a chair seat. When connected to a large area, these pixels can form any image depending on the arrangement of the colors. In this case it is a portrait of the chair man (the undersigned) or Chairman. The president of this chair world.
