Description from the seller
Max Kreijn
The composition consists of simplified forms and a vivid use of color, resulting not so much in a realistic representation, but rather a personal impression of the atmosphere and rhythm of the city. The work reflects Kreijn's fascination with travel and urban cultures.
After several years studying architecture at the Eindhoven University of Technology, Kreijn continued his training in Monumental Art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Subsequently he took lessons under, among others, R.B. Kitaj and David Hockney at the Royal College of Art in London. After his studies he first moved to the island of Ibiza and then to Assisi and Florence, where he devoted himself intensively to painting. For over forty years the artist lived and worked in various countries, including Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Portugal, Thailand, Argentina and Australia. This international background and broad artistic training are reflected in his work, in which architecture, atmosphere and personal experience come together.
Dimensions: 104 x 74 cm
Not framed
