The two painters, both admirers of the work of René Magritte, influenced each other and sometimes made paintings with the same subject or variations on or from each other's work. His work is counted among the New Figuration, of which he was one of the founders He has a wild, abstract expressionist style, with bright colors. Yet his work also contains elements of De Stijl and Constructivism. His subjects are usually figure representations, nudes and portraits. Freymuth lives and works in Amsterdam.
