Ton Dubbeldam
The Biography of Ton Dubbeldam
It is remarkable to see that the Dutch painter, Ton
Dubbeldam, often chooses themes that beautifully come together with his
impressionistic and pointillist techniques.
There is a certain
atmosphere about his canvasses, which will give you the feeling of a 17th
century landscape painting. You will notice his specific use of light and dark
shades, the depth, the high skies, the wideness, the far horizons, which are not
disrupted by buildings or trees.
The angle from which Ton
Dubbeldam views his subjects are far from traditional. Horizons will sometimes
be very high up and sometimes they will be almost at the bottom of the painting.
Through these unique views, the water and sky are strongly
accented.
On canvasses where nature plays a leading role, we can only
be observers. This is mostly to be seen in his paintings, where the person will
look away, for instance; a lady at the pier who is staring from under her hat at
the sea and completely forgets everything around her.
Dubbeldam's
paintings in oil, combined with dry pastel, and sometimes by using Spotting and
dripping techniques will make you associate his work with various art forms and
different periods of time.
An important factor in Dubbeldam's work is
the use of light and dark shades,
showing a clear luminosity quality. He
creates surprisingly, unsuspected perspectives, letting nature take over, and
resulting in a totally captivating painting.
Ton Dubbeldam was born
in Holland in 1957. He comes from a very artistic family, his father a musician,
and his grandfather a painter. Ton studied six years to become an art teacher,
but decided to paint full time when his own artwork started selling throughout
Europe.
