Vincent van Ojen - Woodcut, Still life with vases. - Sold

Vincent van Ojen (1960) was the first to graduate from the Den Bosch Art Academy in 1984, creating exclusively color woodcuts. In principle, he taught himself the technique, as no one was making woodcuts at the time, not even his teachers. It is particularly the combination of printmaking and colorism that makes his work unique. Soon after his time at the academy, Vincent was able to make a living from his work. He participated in hundreds of exhibitions, and his works were included in countless collections both at home and abroad. By 2009, he had produced a large oeuvre of nearly 1,000 different woodcuts. Since then, he has primarily created highly abstract oil paintings on canvas. Landscapes and Still Lifes His colorful works mainly depict landscapes and still lifes. These are rendered in abstract compositions in which recognizability remains visible. But ultimately, his aim is to achieve a rhythmically ordered whole of lines, planes, and – bright – colors.
