Try to find information and a portrait of Chris de Bueger and you will have a difficult time ahead. Because of a publication i bought some years ago ( piece of oil painting on the cover) i started to search fo the artist. No portraits , no text, just some abstract paintings and  apiec of canvas ( painting) on the cover of the blue book.

There is only way to find the maker of this book and paintings and that is study the pages and photographs. Paintings are nice abstract paintings and certainly worth viewing and possibly even collecting. and yes…..on one of the photographs there was the signature of the maker. First i read de Buger, but thanks to Google i found that it had te be Chris de Bueger and now the book is availabe at www.ftn-book.com.

Jean Bilquin (1938)

I do not know what to say. Is Henk Visch the dutch equivalent of Jean Bilquin or is it the other way around? Certain is that both artists are inspired by the same objects and surroundings.

Another influence must have been the sculptures by Brancusi because a returning object is the portrait sculpture Brancusi has made in several versions.

But there is much more to discover in the works by Jean Bilquin. When you leaf through the catalogue which was published on the occasion of the Kunsthal exhibition ( 2008 ). You really feel that you are discovering an artist. An artist who is inspired by nature and people. Both subjects combining in a very personal kind of art on larger sized canvasses. This is the kind of work which always attracts me and which i want to discover further after i have visited the exhibition. The catalogue ( available at www.ftn-boooks.com) shows exactly why these works have a rare quality. The catalogue has several fold out pages which make the scale of these large paintings somewhat visible.
