Adine Engelman (Rotterdam, August 12, 1937 – Haarlem, December 7, 2015) was a Dutch sculptor, painter and draftsman.
Life and work
Adriaan or Aad Engelman was born as a son of bread baker Antoon Engelman and Adriana Bakker. From around 1969, Engelman went through life as a woman, with the first name Adine.
Engelman was educated at the Academy of Visual Arts and Technical Sciences (1960-1963) in Rotterdam. He continued his studies at the new Academy '63 (1963-1965) in Haarlem and spent the first school year working in a studio led by Ger Lataster. In 1964 he received an academy prize of 500 guilders. He settled in Haarlem that year.
Engelman made geometrically abstract compositions, both on a flat surface and in three dimensions. In 1968 Engelman exhibited with Kiek Bak at Pictura in Groningen. In response, art critic Rommert Boonstra wrote: "Adriaan Engelman is a painter who follows the path of directness. He fills large canvases with colorful, thickly applied surfaces and stripes. The color is the main thing. Recognizable shapes are missing." In 1972, Adine Engelman received a stipend from the Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Social Work. She had solo exhibitions in the Wetering gallery in Amsterdam (1976), in the garden of Beeckestijn in Velsen-Zuid (1978), in the Vleeshal (1981) in Haarlem and the Kunstcentrum Delft (1987). She was a member of the Dutch Circle of Sculptors, De Groep Haarlem and the Professional Association of Visual Artists.
Engelman withdrew from social life at the end of her life. She died at the age of 78 in her house in De Eenhoorn.
