A R T I S T O F S U M M E R 2 0 1 8The Dutch artist Redmer Hoekstra was born with a lot of imagination. As a child he made up his own explanations for stuff, how things worked or were being made. At the Art Academy (Zwolle), from which he graduated in 2009, Hoekstra rediscovered this way of thinking and from there a huge drive emerged to draw the images that comes to his mind.
Redmer Hoeskstras preferred media is the Staedtler pigment fineliner, with which he illustrates these emerging fantasies. This allows him to make very refined shadings and tones of grey. He describes a fascination of its directness. What is drawn is definitive, unlike painting which allows correction and refining. www.redmerhoekstra.nl |
