Petrus Theodorus Immink was a painter, graphic artist, screen printer and watercolorist. When he was 37, he moved to the Zaan region. He captured that North Holland landscape many times. But it did not stop at the Zaans-Waterland landscape. He traveled a lot and made sketches and paintings of landscapes everywhere: Greek temples, American mountain landscapes, deserts, abandoned villages in the Spanish plains, nudes, interiors and pub and sports scenes. Also special are the works with a magical realist slant.
PA van Wigcheren, art reviewer for the Nieuwe Noordhollandse Courant, about Immink: “A passionate artist who tries to reduce the landscape to its essence in his work – painting, watercolouring, screen printing and collages. I have called Immink a master of omission. thus indicating that he eliminates all kinds of details in his work and only depicts the main points in powerful surfaces, without losing the recognizability of the landscapes he captured. The artist's powerful drive radiates in all works. In terms of color, often very sparse, again reduced to the most necessary, but sometimes also very explosive, without ever becoming obtrusive and harsh.”
