Frits Drent - Winter scene. - Sold

Frits Drent was born in Leeuwarden in 1945. From 1964 to 1968, he attended the Minerva Art Academy in Groningen. He currently lives in Goutum and, during his working life, was both a graphic artist and a painter. Drent also had a studio and framing business in Goutum for many years. As a graphic artist, Drent was once commissioned by Pim Fortuyn to measure an etching of Fortuyn. This etching was printed in 1977. During the years Drent lived on the Dokkumer Ee, he painted many skating scenes and summery waterscapes. From 2019 onwards, Drent painted a great deal of water and waves. The reason for this was a recurring dream in which he stood in shallow, wide water while the waves came ever closer to him. This dream became the inspiration for no fewer than thirty paintings.
