Jef DIEDEREN (Heerlen 1920 - Amsterdam 2009)
Painter, Graphic artist
Education: Jef Diederen was educated at the secondary applied arts school in Maastricht. He continued his education at the State Academy of Art in Amsterdam. Amsterdam
Jef Diederen was one of the so-called 'Limburg Amsterdammers'. Diederen took part in the group exhibition Amsterdam painters van Nu in 1948 and had his first solo exhibition in 1957. Until 1955 he mostly painted landscape gouaches and drawings. Many works are based on the realistic landscapes from his native South Limburg. Later, Jef Diederen developed more in an abstract direction, but landscapes remained a great inspiration for him. Jef Diederen's art is lyrical-abstract with a friendly and soft appearance, but it does have strong colours. As an idiosyncratic artist, Diederen has never sought permanent affiliation with groups or movements. His oil paintings often had idiosyncratic dimensions and therefore striking. Diederen also made combinations of cloths of various sizes. In addition to his many paintings and works on paper, he also carried out various commissions for wall paintings and stained glass windows. Subjects such as terror and war violence have always had a major influence on Jef Diederen's work. The Second World War and the persecution of Jews, the war in Vietnam, the oppression of Palestinians and Indians were therefore successively reflected in his work. In between, Diederen was also continuously inspired by nature, architecture, dance and music, which resulted in many new colorful works.
