The Gaze & Degas - Femme au musée

Ink drawing roughly inspired by a The Gaze of a Parisienne Instagram post on the 'Degas à Opera' exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay.

The Gaze of a Parisienne is a website run by Parisians Florence Briat Soulié and Caroline d’Esneval on which twice a week new articles are published in both French and English regarding upcoming events, exhibitions, design, shows, etc., taking place mostly in and around Paris.

New Inky Animals on Hund und Kunst

Artist Petra Hartl from Vienna runs an extensive and interesting blog titled ‘Hund und Kunst’, dedicated to dogs and/in art. After featuring a selection of my ink drawings of dogs in a blog article last year, now my recent works have also been published in a new feature, titled ‘Neue Tusche-Skizzen von Rodney van den Beemd’. I'm again very pleased with the view she takes on them and the effort she did to step into my work and describe it in such an inviting way.

Exhibition Hanging Bookshop Dominicanen

"Hanging around" on a Saturday evening ...

Short film I made of the interior of former church and now Bookshop Dominicanen in Maastricht just after I had completed the hanging of the works on display at my exhibition there. It was quite an experience to stand in this beautiful building all alone on a Saturday evening after closing time.

From 26 August to 13 October I will be exhibiting in the beautiful setting of Bookshop Dominicanen in Maastricht, known as one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world. During that period ten of my paintings, portraits, will be hanging in the priest's chancel of the former Dominican Church. The title of the exhibition is "Recognisability - Distortion - Abstraction".

Beetje "rondhangen" op een zaterdagavond ...

Korte film van het interieur van de voormalige Dominicanerkerk - nu Boekhandel Dominicanen - in Maastricht, net nadat ik de ophanging van de werken voor mijn tentoonstelling daar had voltooid. Het was een bijzondere ervaring om na sluitingstijd op een zaterdagavond alleen in dit prachtige gebouw te staan.

Van 26 augustus t/m 13 oktober exposeer ik in de mooie setting van Boekhandel Dominicanen te Maastricht. Er hangen dan een tiental van mijn schilderijen, in dit geval portretten, in het priesterkoor van de voormalige Dominicanerkerk.

Inky Animals on Hund und Kunst

Artist Petra Hartl from Vienna runs an extensive and interesting blog titled ‘Hund und Kunst’, dedicated to dogs and/in art. My recent ink drawings of dogs and other animals drew her attention and after checking out more of my work she did a feature of it on her blog, titled ‘Inky Animals’. I'm very pleased with the view she takes on it and the effort she did to step into my work and describe it in such a poetic way.

Inky Animals on iGNANT

My ‘Inky Animals’ series has been featured on iGNANT.

‘Inky Animals’ is an ongoing series of expressive ink-drawings aimed at catching form, expression and movement of animals with bold and minimal appliance of ink. They are all drawn/painted with wayward twigs, feathers, leafs and other unconventional drawing tools which compared to conventional drawing tools like fountain pen or brush leaves far less control over the flow of the ink, leading to a broad variation in the thickness of lines and also the occasional blob of ink.

iGNANT is an award-winning online magazine featuring the finest in art, design, photography and architecture.
