Silkscreen by Nic Jonk from 1981.
With his graphics and oil paintings he shows himself to be a master in depicting feminine beauty.
But also graceful animals such as swans and horses are depicted with seemingly simple lines in a colorful whole. The bright expressionist and especially monumental canvases evoke an association with painters such as Rubens, Renoir and Matisse.
His versatile oeuvre also includes jewelry, ceramics and glass, steel and perspex objects.
His health often played tricks on him, something that is a huge handicap for a sculptor. In the last years of his life, when sculpting became too much for him, it turned out that Nic Jonk was also a talented painter. His ambition conquered everything.
After his death in 1994, his long-cherished plans to expand and renovate the museum and sculpture garden were realized. In 1995, the new museum was opened and has been managed by his son Zeger ever since. His wife Greet and the children also exhibit their work there permanently.
