On the pictures we also show you the artist receiving the flowers on our opening of this exhibition september 3th 2023 in our gallery. We show these pictures to give you an idea of the size and sphere of the painting, the gallery and the artist.
About the artist:
Frank Dekkers, an outdoor painter, but not a "square painter" as we know him. His studio is located "everywhere", or at least outside where this artist is inspired by the landscape. A special way of summarizing leads in his paintings to a very strong and simplified image. These works invite you to walk into the landscape and to keep looking.
A book has been published about Frank Dekkers, which is included when purchasing a painting...

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...

French coast- 21st Century Contemporary Landscape Painting by Rutger Hiemstra
By Rutger Hiemstra
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
In his studio, with large skylights, Rutger Hiemstra works on various subjects: still-lifes, portraits and, for example, large cloudy skies. In addition, he can also be found outside regularly, to make small 'plein-air' paintings.
A few hours of sitting outside and painting a beautiful painting about it, that 'can not be better', according to Hiemstra.
Rutger worked in Denmark, Switzerland, France and England, he also likes working in his own environment and is easily inspired by simple and daily 'things'. His self-tanned garden fence is also a wonderful subject. Inspiration enough, but time too short to draw and paint all the subjects that pass by.
During our introduction to these artist, at the begin of 2017, it became clear how driven Rutger is. His own compiled book of artists that inspires him and of which he carefully studies the work is always within reach in his studio. When leaving, Rutger shows how he builds up his still lifes. A self-molded table top with potatoes 'scattered' on it. This is a while, downstairs in the living room, and here and there things change. Finally, if the composition really suits him, he will paint it.
In his paintings, Rutger shows us how surprising his still-lifes, small, intimate or colorful and of great size can be. The material expression and atmosphere in the work of this artist is particularly well-suited in all formats.
In January 2018 we had a big exhibition with his works, Dutch newspaper 'NRC' wrote an article about his works with the title: Anti-Depressive medication in paint by Rutger Hiemstra, we totally agree. The works of Rutger make you smile!
The article in het NRC: Hiemstra's still life are antidepressants in paint Gallery Bonnard, Nuenen Rutger Hiemstra paints easter eggs, tompoucen or fresh mint in such a way that you think: but of course deserve a painting!
For a child, Easter eggs are sensational. To begin with, they are bigger, if you are smaller. They have a nice shape: just not round. They shine and come in festive colors. And if you wipe off the wrapper there is no real egg, but chocolate. Later you are grown up and you know those things by now. Every year around Easter they are for sale with containers. They lie in front of the house and office. Easter egg? Yes Nice. But nothing special. Until you see them painted by Rutger Hiemstra (1975). He looks childishly at all those colorful glittering unround marbles - and he knows how to share his elation with it in a still life. Hiemstra makes Easter eggs unusual again, just as he also shows tompoucing, a glass of white wine or fresh mint, a pink cake...

18th C, In the Style of the Classicizing Baroque, Biblical, Rebekka and Eliëzer
Located in brussel, BE
Willem Muys was a Dutch, 18th-century painter of history pieces, portraits and cabinet pieces. Above all, he appears to have been active as a painter of ‘wallpaper’. Until the mid-18th century, ‘wallpaper’ was not painted on paper but on coarsely woven linen. Wealthy citizens had their mansions or country estates adorned with ‘wallpaper’ with landscapes, exotic birds or chinoiseries.
Willem Muys mainly painted ‘wallpaper’, which means that few of his works have been preserved. They are hardly represented in public collections. The works of his sons, Nicolaas en Robbert, both painters, are a little less rare. The painting with Rebecca and Eliezer...
