Beautiful lithograph by Henk Eikenaar. Eikenaar, Hendricus Gijsbertus. 1945-08-28 (Empel). Painter, draftsman. Active in: Alphen-Chaam (1987). Poetry plays a major role in the work of Henk Eikenaar (28-08-1945, Empel). His paintings mainly present themselves to us as abstract, but often carry within them an image that transcends the visually perceptible, a representation of a visual reality supplemented with the emotional experience of music, poetry and literature, but also with memories, thoughts and fantasies. His paintings are the result of a very personal world of experience. Summer, light and music are among the elements that play a role in Eikenaar's multi-layered, transparent images. 'In my opinion, a painting exists by the grace of the viewer. If he is touched by a painting, it fulfils his intention. A good painting stimulates the imagination, moves, inspires, comforts, activates or brings peace. It opens up the world outside the painting and takes the attentive viewer/observer to a fascinating world in which the unspeakable takes over from reason.' www.henkeikenaar.nl
