Commemorating the death of Vincent van Gogh 125 years ago, the theme of the van Gogh Year 2015 will be “125 years of inspiration”. The technique: Several ‘patrons', also called ‘templates' were made from the original work. ‘Patrons’ are negatives, which are carved from an ultra thin metal foil. The “Maïtre Coloriste” decided, having made an analysis of the composition, how many ‘patrons’ were needed. Subsequently, these were placed in a particular order and position on the paper, after which the paint was applied, using different brushes, sponges and tampons. Nowadays stencil techniques have become popular for graffiti using spray paint, as for instance the British artist Bansky. |

| We make our ‘patrons’ from ultra fine plastic material, which are placed on the paper and colored by hand, using brushes and gouache paints of the finest quality. Some forms we use, are abstractions from the studies we made last year in Auvers-sur-Oise and Zundert during our project www. backpackersartgallery.nl, others are directly inspired by the paintings of Vincent van Gogh. We tried to reduce them to their most direct and essential expression. We have used the pochoir technique, once only used for reproduction, to make original works of art with simple, abstract forms. |
