GALLERY HELEEN HOBELMAN presents International Contemporary Realism.

<body> LOUISA BETTERIDGE Louisa’s passion for painting eventually overcame her love for creating movie sets as an art director. Her past training as a graphic artist still had the tactile magic of pens and paper in the days before the seductive corruption of talent by computers. This year she followed her heart and in a short few months in her studio has created a portfolio of wonderful oil paintings of striking women. The sheer scale of her large canvasses and the nuances of colour which seem to permeate from below the surface of the skin of her subjects, has first time viewers gasping with surprised admiration - every time. This is why she prefers working with oil paint, it allows the depth of perception and transparent luminescence which Leonardo Da Vinci first perfected. The surprising and exciting thing is how much every new painting seems so much better than the previous one. Louisa’s talent is already creating a demand which makes it difficult to accumulate paintings for her coming exhibition. <p>GALLERY HELEEN HOBELMAN presents International Contemporary Realism.

He mainly paints still lives in a clear light realistic style in which the game of light and colour form an important motive. Among others he paints objects of use and consumable objects. These objects can be portrayed quite well in thin layers of oil paint. The objects that are used for the still life are painted life-size so these objects determine the size of the painting. The combination of these aspects in the still life radiates a comforting image Wim Mast de Gooijer Wim Mast de Gooijer was born in Huizum in the North of The Netherlands. Looking back at his youth says Mast de Gooijer `My mother would have liked to see me go to conservatorium or dramaschool`. However the future would be different. A career in Hotelmanagement drove him and his family to Australia in 1976, drawing and painting being a way of relaxation from his busy live. After a successful exhibition he turned his back to the hotelbusiness and committed himself to the arts and trying to give his works a `face` that would be different. First face every day objects Many of the recognizable and often at first face every day objects that Mast de Gooijer puts on canvas reveal a detailed attention for weathering…..In 1988, after a long illness, he and his family returned to the Netherlands. Throught the friendship with the Australian artist Graeme Roche, Mast de Gooijer was confronted with the works of Jeffrey Smart and Paul Delvaux. Realistic objects Wim Mast de Gooijer´s works distinguish themselves by the composition of realistic objects in a realistic environment. As a whole the choice and striking combination of the objects usualy makes it look unreal but identifiable. It displays an acceptable reality which is best called Fictive Realisme. With that Wim Mast de Gooijer has succesfully presented a new trend in art. Guy De Jaegher Guy De Jaegher (1944 Kortrijk, West-Flanders), fine artist who elaborates his pictures in a finely realistic manner with a great technical craftsmanship. He attended classes at the Academy of Arts at Kortrijk from childhood on; subsequently he studied graphic Arts at the Sint-Lucas Instituut at Doornik. However, as for fine- and miniature painting, which he considers to be one of the most exacting forms of painting, he is completely self-educated. Virtuoso at back glass painting He works in oils, mainly on panel and he is a virtuoso at back glass painting (oils applied on the back side of a glass plate). The still lives are the outcome of traditional craftsmanship, of love of the profession, much patience and precision and they required a learning process of many years. He mounts the picture with half-transparent layers of oil colours and by doing so he creates an ambience of timelessness and transience. The oft particularly bright intensity of colours applied in his paintings is much striking, just like in the Flemish Masters. To the artist, colours and atmosphere are just as important as the minute details which are open for inspection by the meticulous spectator. The subtlety of this method makes it most time-consuming and labour-intensive. Besides the still lives de Jaegher also paints flemish landscapes, tinged with magic, both on panel and on glass every now and then. Medieval artistic crafts Although his vigorous style draws on the foundations of the medieval artistic crafts and of the expertise and technique of the Masters of the sixteenth and seventeenth century like Jan van Eyck, Floris van Dijck, Pieter Claesz and Willem Kalf, this out and out fine painter composed a remarkable body of work, expressing a most personal view and a corresponding method which result into a contemporary touch. De Jaegher participated in several group exhibitions. He was awarded the Golden Palms of the MAEKV (European Arts Merit) in 1985 and he was silver medallist in 1983 and 1986. He holds an entry in the Belgian Artists dictionary PIRON, in Artists and Galleries 2006 of Belgium and he was entered into the Lexicon of the Artists of West-Flanders and into the biographical lexicon of www.arto.be. From the Flanders press Along with the precision with which de Jaegher paints the subject up to the smallest details, it is the colour and the atmosphere that are the greatest trumps in this creative work. De Jaegher is a contemporary photographer with the brush of a master of the sixteenth century.

Jonker was born in 1972 in Bergum in the province of Friesland in the Netherlands. As a boy, he drew much and with great enjoyment. This "falling in love" with the pencil and the brush continued, even after studying Economics. From 1991 to 1993, he studied Illustration. He continued his study of art at the academy of arts, "Minerva," Groningen, from 1993 to 1995. Technical side of the art of painting Following this period of education, Sietse Jonker concentrated on the technical side of the art of painting and on the history of art. It was a time of muddling through; reading many books and visiting museums and galleries. This process continues to this present day. At this moment Sietse Jonker lives and works in Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. Roman Reisinger Roman Reisinger decided 3 years ago to dedicate his live to the paint after he had worked for 12 years as a graphic designer. Maybe the biggest reason for his decision was: total freedom in individual creativity. This liberty give's him now the possibility to work 7 days a week on paintings off which you can see here some examples. Old masters off the golden century The work of Roman is especially inspired by the "old" masters off the golden century, but also the present painters of realism have his attention. Undisputed there is also a prominent role for impressionism and that is the reason why these two go hand in hand in the paintings without disturbance. This all in search for painting with "heart, soul and with love" but of course also "difficulty, interest, quality and knowledge". Great success Unfortunately on account of great success, we can't give you any certainty on availability of one or more paintings that you have seen here, so inquire about things quickly! All paintings have there own self-made frames but can be bought of course without.
