Regional Art |
| |
| I find art to be an excellent resource. It not only
reflects the society and environment from which it was born, but also
gives an individual voice to each region. This page allows visitors to
this region the opportunity to enjoy not only the beautiful nature this
area has to offer, but also its unique cultural and artistic heritage. |

address, please contact me at

| I'm looking forward to hearing from
you. |
| |
| Art crosses over many mediums. We welcome it all. |

EMILE SNELLEN VAN VOLLENHOVEN
: PEACE OF ART
"Van Vollenhoven is not
only a great artist, but also a brilliant thinker,
a philosopher with the brush. Emile's meditative journeys lead him into
the Depth of Reality. He is meditating the world and materializes his
thoughts within each of his excellent paintings, which are reflections about the
outer and the intangible inner realms of life and existence. The ideas
bringing
forth his paintings seem to be drawn from that infinite Singularity we
call 'Existence', from the 'Eternal Void',
Emile is able to project his mind
into".
( Dr. Friedrich Demolsky, Art Consultant Sanur Bali
- The Bali Sun Newspaper Bali March 2004 )

"Marco Mout has been an international media producer for 10 years.
In 1997 he took to the road on a hi-tech bicycle to tour the world; a
boy's dream. During his travels he discovered his passion for sculpting
wood. His voyage brought him encounters with the most outstanding
woodsculptors worldwide. He worked in Tibet (Labuleng Monastery), in
Florence (Italy), with mastercarvers from Maori (New Zealand) and
Haida-Nation (Canada). Currently living in historic Zutphen, he owns a
medieval tower (de Kruittoren) which functions as a workshop,
course-centre, exhibition room and a special meditation area.
In 2003 Marco organised the widely acclaimed 'Boom in Beeld-Event',
where a mere 30.000 visitors were inspired by the works of 50
professional sculptors in wood. In 2008 the second Event will be held
in the beautiful setting of Castle and Park Rosendael, close to Arnhem.
On Marco Mout a book has been published by Scriptum, titled "Altijd al
iets van plan? Doe het dan!", by author Robbert Coppenhagen".

For more than forty years now,
Hubert Minnebo has been active
as an independent artist. During fifteen years within this period,
he figured as a teacher of fine arts. His first individual exhibition
took place in his home town Ostend in 1958.
During his starting period, Hubert worked mainly as a
painter,
but from 1965 onwards, his career moved more unequivocally
towards sculpting and designing of jewellery. In the beginning,
the materials he used were primarily aluminium and copper;
after a while he preferred to work with bronze, silver and gold.
Minnebo' s sculptures and jewellery are part of
different collections all over the world. |
