AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fons van Laar (born 1959 in Maastricht) is a versatile Dutch artist who has made a distinctive name for himself in both painting and ceramics.

Trained at the Jan van Eyck Academy and the Tehatex in Nijmegen, he masterfully blends Western techniques with cultural influences from Africa, India, and the Orient in his work. His pieces are characterized by intensive colors, tactile materiality, and a deep fascination with traditional pigments—such as those once used by Rembrandt. In his expressive paintings and ceramic objects, Dutch craftsmanship, floral ornaments, and exotic patterns converge, creating a visual bridge between cultures.

The works of Van Laars have been exhibited internationally and are represented in public collections.
