A wonderful, large, colorful, yet serene painting with gestural sweeping strokes by Dutch sculptor Nic Jonk. The acrylic paint is thick and dimensional. It is mounted in a black and metallic silver-colored 4.5" wide frame and signed on the front.
This large piece is an original painting by Nic Jonk, a prolific sculptor who also created many print series but fewer paintings. In the 1980s, Nic Jonk shipped it to California from the Netherlands for a show at the University of California Santa Cruz and then gave it to my mother, Coeleen Kiebert, after the show. It is still in her possession and for sale.
Nic's Bio:
Nicolaas (Nic) Jonk (1928-1994) was a highly respected Dutch artist and teacher. A prolific artist producing many paintings, graphic, glass, and ceramic works, he is mainly known for his wonderful monumental figurative and mythologically themed bronze sculptures. His voluptuous and joyful works are in prominent public and private collections internationally.
In 1965 Nic Jonk established a museum and sculpture garden in the expansive grassy dunes of Grootschemer Holland, just north of Amsterdam. Today, 30 of his giant bronzes are displayed in addition to a gallery of his paintings and other works. The property is currently an art and musical concert venue in full operation, open to the public, and really should not be missed.
Beloved in the Netherlands, more than 250 of Nic Jonk’s sculptures are in public spaces. His work is also represented in many private collections and exhibited internationally. A few notable and unique installations are:
‘’Acqua e Sole’’ in San Gimignano, Italy
“Water and Sun” in the city parc Rheine, Germany
“Pacific” in Athens, Greece
“Song at Blue Bay” in the sculpture garden in Curaçao
“Water and Sun" at the Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee
‘’Eve and the Snake ‘’ at the University of California Santa Cruz
“Io and the Cloud in a private sculpture garden Rio Del Mar, California less
