Jon EISELIN (Pietermaritzburg 1958 – ?? 2021)

Jon Eiselin was a painter who worked in Amsterdam. His work evolved from figurative representations to abstract compositions. A stay on the South African coast near Durban prompted him to choose water as his central subject. The sea, waves, river currents, reflections, and swimming pools inspired him to create paintings in which movement and color play an important role. He worked with oil paint on canvas, among other materials, and made preliminary sketches. His abstract compositions have no fixed center and suggest that the image extends beyond the edges of the canvas.
