AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Onno de Graaf conjures images from the tangible environment in which he chooses to live. He makes simple, yet ingenious tales about animals and machines, about water and fire, and about air and earth.

Onno De Graaf creates his own world in which anything is possible: a cat rises up and transforms into a helicopter and a fish becomes a submarine or a can of sardines. The animals play the roles assigned to them by the artist, without wilfulness. What stands out in Onno de Graaf's work is its spontaneous character. He uses a visual language that is recognizable and, improvisationally, makes the things that personally amuse him.

Onno de Graaf uses only one technique: the monoprint. Layer by layer, on glass, his images come into being; they grow like trees, carefully seeking their way to develop in the most optimal manner. With every print, the image is reexamined and analyzed, certain parts must disappear to make room for new ideas. The Japanese paper on which Onno de Graaf prints his works can sometimes barely bear the burden of the thick layers of paint. Other times a drawing may consist of just a few strong lines with only a single touch of color.
