Ewoud de Groot
Schilderijen


In zijn schilderijen legt Ewoud het gevoel van ruimte die hij in de natuur aantreft vast. Zijn landschappen, vaak de kust, zijn meestal abstract en opgebouwd uit diverse lagen.
Door ze transparant te houden creëert Ewoud diepte. De dieren, vooral vogels, zijn realistisch en gedetailleerd.
Hoewel de werken altijd snel verkocht zijn krijgt u een indruk van zijn stijl van schilderen. Mocht u belangstelling hebben voor een bepaald soort vogel(s) of een bepaalde maat neem dan contact op met de galerie. Er komen altijd wel weer nieuwe schilderijen binnen.

Ewoud de Groot was born in 1969 in Alkmaar, in the Netherlands and studied at the Kunstacademie Minerva in Groningen. He lives and works in the small North Sea village, Egmond aan Zee but grew up between the North Sea and the Waddensea, a large tidal mud flat system between the North of Holland and the south of Denmark. In the early seventies, his father bought an old Dutch Shrimp cutter and made it into a vessel. They used to go sailing and fishing and collecting mussels with this boat. Under the huge skies and out on the open water, Ewoud was impressed and influenced by his surroundings and choosing wading birds as a subject came naturally to him. His paintings are between realism and abstractism, where the subject is mostly painted in a more traditional manner and the landscape is mostly painted in a more suggestive way. Ewoud likes to play with complementary colours, in other words, the contrast between warm and cold colours as the painting as a whole is more important than the subject itself. In September he had the honour of being selected for the ‘Birds in Art Exhibition’ at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wisconsin, USA.
