CAMDEN ART GALLERY presents TON BOUDEWIJN

CAMDEN ART GALLERY - London, UK

Abstract Exhibition: TON BOUDEWIJN (Holland)
21st February - 21st March 2009
Preview: Saturday 21st February, 6pm - 9pm


It is with pleasure that we will begin 2009 with the first solo exhibition of the year,
displaying the artwork of the Dutch artist TON BOUDEWIJN.
Born in 1939, Rotterdam / The Netherlands
This artist gives us a demonstration of his high ability and of the creativity of his
works, surprising us with his own characteristic drawings and colors.
In this occasion, the artist presents 17 works on large canvas, giving us the chance to
have a clear vision of the aesthetic and ophthalmic bet of his point of view.
In the fulfilled works weʼll be able to be dazzled by the explicit content where he
evokes the beginning of the earth, with a fine and wise lesson on how to approach
the origin of the world avoiding the obvious. Weʼll also be able to subtly find there a
unique atmosphere of personal feelings.
The artist takes a totally increasing direction for his artworks and his way of
expressing himself, along with his idea of “polychromy”.
The technique used by the artist (acrylic) gives us a good understanding of his
appropriate use of the material that accompanies him in his artistic challenge.
This evolution, instilled by its own process, is reflected in the intensive and
progressive use of primary and complementary colors, supported by an original
internal equilibrium.
He could be said to be a man of own convictions, gifted with an extraordinary and
visionary eye. In his creative perspective, he adapts the principles of mathematics to
make experiments by demolishing volumes and plane surfaces.
Ton Boudewijn approaches the compositions bursting with lines and geometrical
shapes, subtly introducing sensual curves, generating a “dance” in every drawing and
shaping a picture.
The artist delights us with his works of authentic poetry, where the creation shifts us
to a cosmic world of a “dreamy” air.
While the works of the masters dominate the artistic world, this series of pictures
presented by Ton Boudewijn can be easily approached to them.

Ton Boudewijn participated to collective exhibitions at Camden Art Gallery, London,
gaining positive and interesting critics.
He has been represented by Camden Art Gallery at the Art Shopping Carrousel du
Louvre, Paris, in October 2008.
