Description from the seller
Jan Sierhuis – Gitana (2014)
Gitana (2014) is an oil painting by Jan Sierhuis in which he captures the passion, movement and rhythm of the Spanish dance and culture. With bold lines, vivid colors and expressive forms he portrays the dynamics of the gypsy dancer, making the work feel almost musical and bringing the energy of the movement to life.
After the war Jan Sierhuis developed into an expressionist painter, influenced among others by Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Together with Appel, Corneille and Lucebert he found himself at the heart of post-war developments in art.
In 1945 Sierhuis was admitted to the evening course at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, which he left after a conflict. In 1947 he was involved with the group of the Experimenters and in 1948 with the CoBrA group, although he was too young to become an official member. Later, in 1962 he co-founded the Amsterdam artists’ group Groep Scorpio.
In the 1950s and 1960s Sierhuis mainly worked abstractly. Afterwards he returned to the human figure and shifted his attention to figurative themes such as dancing figures, portraits and landscapes. He spent many summers in Spain, where his passion for flamenco had a major influence on his work. This dance embodies everything that characterizes his painting: color, emotion, movement and rhythm.
Sierhuis has always walked his own path. Freedom and expressivity form the through line in his oeuvre.
Dimensions without frame: 180 x 100 cm
Viewing is of course possible. In addition we have our own in-house framer, who is celebrating his 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to use this, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
Shipping is possible; we will calculate the shipping costs afterwards based on your place of residence.
