Ardy Struwer, also known as Eduard Arnaud Strüwer, is a Swedish-Indonesian-Dutch artist who grew up in the former Dutch East Indies and in the Netherlands. He received his education at the Royal Academy in The Hague and as a guest student at the printmaking department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. He has spent extended periods of time working in cities such as New York and Paris, where he currently resides. Strüwer’s art, including both paintings and lithographs, is characterized by a vibrant expressiveness, often with a touch of surrealism, with the recurring theme of the female form. Strüwer himself has described his style as “sensual surrealism” and “postmodern flower power”. His work is featured in various private and museum collections, such as the Peter Stuyvesant collection, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Gemeente Museum in The Hague.
www.ftn-books.com has currently some prints by Struwer from the Any Art collection available.
