Description

Lithograph in frame, dim. 30x40 cm, title: Step by Step, no. 429/500 Biography Jean-Paul Marsman, born in Nijmegen, is a remarkable Dutch artist who lives and works in Veldhoven. His work is bought by, among others: collectors, galleries, museums and companies. His work is intense and full, a conversation or a discussion and one of the few artists who dares to work in more than 1 style. On the one hand there is his colorful figurative work with graffiti influences that rubs against Pop Art. Expressionist work in which image and text are equally important and reinforce each other. Reflecting the artist's rich imagination, this work is inspired by everyday events, with his graphic advertising background evident in his work. On the other hand, there is his hushed hyper-realistic work. In which the classical craft of the 17th century painting techniques forms the monumental and timeless character of his compositions. These works are characterized by the refined detail and the layering of colors, which make the works true masterpieces. Two extremes in painting style, but inextricably linked. His work in both styles is also characterized by contrasts in subjects.
