About Pieter Alewijns: 'You almost automatically link the name Pieter Alewijns to etchings. Preferably hand colored etchings. The Eindhoven artist has already developed a predilection for this time-honoured technique at the academy in Den Bosch, and he has always remained faithful to it. unconditionally. It is not without reason that he was an artist-collaborator at Graphic Atelier Daglicht for many years. For years he helped turn etchings and draw screen prints. Even in the time when Galerie Peninsula still existed, which was co-run by Alewijns, a large part of the exhibitors consisted of graphic artists. Alewijns (1954) has a weakness for aesthetics. Content is important, yes, but priority was and still is given to matters such as composition, color and structure. Look at the hundreds of prints and collages he has made over the past decades and you feel: this is nice work, where colors and shapes are combined almost perfectly, but elements sometimes also grind fine. And – you are a romantic or you are not – this visual language is combined with stories that seem to be borrowed from mythical tales, legends or fairy tales. The etchings and collages are therefore populated by non-existent human figures and animals (many birds) in fantasized landscapes'. (Source: ed.nl) Pick up is preferred in Eindhoven.
