About the Item
Wijnand Driessen (Dutch artist)
Osaka in the Rain
50x 40 cm (framed, included in price 58 x 48 cm)
Oil paint on canvas
Artist Wijnand Driessen lives and works in Eindhoven but was born and raised in Nuenen, just a stone’s throw from our gallery.
The artist’s work immediately stands out, not because it is extremely large, but because he is capable of working in extraordinarily small dimensions. His paintings are sometimes only a few centimeters in size. What makes them even more remarkable is that, on these tiny canvases, he paints monumental buildings. At the same time, he is also able to create larger scale works that speak to us just as powerfully.
Wijnand Driessen paints with a loose brushstroke. He works through this stroke until the result is a uniquely free yet realistic representation of what he wants to convey. The reality he depicts is the reality he experienced, not necessarily how things might have been in objective truth. The young artist started as an animation filmmaker. In this field, he contributed to several major productions for companies like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Warner Bros. In many of these productions, hand-painted backgrounds formed the foundation for the final film image. backgrounds where the characters had yet to appear.
Strangely, in 2020, the ‘Corona measures’ became a source of inspiration for Driessen. They resulted in surreal images of completely empty streets in world cities like New York, Paris, and Tokyo.
His love for Japan, which began in 2009 during his frequent visits, is clearly visible in his work. The country and its culture fascinate him, and this fascination is translated artistically. His work draws from his experiences in Japan and his travels through other major world cities, all of which are woven into his paintings.

Rainy - Mitzy Renooy, 21st Century Contemporary Oil Painting of a Woman in Rain
By Mitzy Renooy
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
The artist Mitzy Renooy in this painting shows skating people in a landscape with ice and small traces of snow, trees, heather and leaves. The focus is on the skating children in this painting, they really seem to move. This painting makes an impression due to the simplicity of the brushstrokes and the narrative that is told by artist Mitzy Renooy. The depth she creates with the use of color and composition is beautiful arranged. Mitzy Renooy finds her inspiration, people in their environment, movement and the ryhthm of life, Cuba, traveling. The loose painting style of Renooy developed during the last two years of her study at Academy of Classical Arts in Groningen under the guidance of her mentor Sam Drukker. From a rigidly working potrait painter Mitzy has become an artist with whom a fluid brush stroke, rhythm and dynamism tell a story.
She graduated in Juni 2017, in a very short while she became very populair. Her paintings are already sold in Finland, Belgium, France, Great Britain and of course in Holland. Her series of girls and boys playing with or in water, her series of Cuba and Colombia and now her new serie of winters in Holland...
