Information about the artist: Eddy Varekamp was born in 1949 in Amsterdam. He makes paintings, hand-painted ceramics and graphics (stencil prints and linocuts). Eddy Varekamp usually makes cheerful and uncomplicated work. He shows everyday life as a pleasant passage of time. From an interview: “If I worked at a newspaper, I would probably do different work. But who wants a traffic accident hanging on their wall? And so there is a lot of eating in my work. There is often fish on the plate. This animal has a number of advantages: It is easily recognizable. Try drawing a steak on a plate and you'll understand what I mean. And fish never looks ugly, like a cat or a dog. I don't have a message, but my customer often does. For example, he wants to tell his partner that he loves him and that is why he gives him an image of two people lying comfortably in the grass and the sun is shining. We know that it rains a lot in the Netherlands, he doesn't have to tell us that." Literature: Jacobs 1993.
