Information about the artist:
Jan Hendrik Christiaan ('Bob') van Blommestein (The Hague, July 24, 1943 – Amsterdam, July 6, 2018) was a Dutch watercolorist, graphic artist, illustrator and painter.
-Education: He trained at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.
-Style: (Magical) Realism.
Bob van Blommestein became known for his book covers, illustrations and still lifes. He created the majority of the covers for the Bruna Fantasy & Horror series (FeH). He also taught drawing, visual arts and art history at the Barlaeus Gymnasium in Amsterdam for 40 years and was a guest lecturer at the KABK in The Hague.
Initially, Bob van Blommestein mainly painted oil portraits on wood. He later opted for magical realism, although he developed his own unique style. From 1972 he exhibited in galleries, art dealers and at fairs such as the PAN in Amsterdam.
From 1992 he focused on watercolor painting. What was striking was the great precision with which he painted sea animals and other natural products and the use of chiaroscuro - highlighting the contrasts between light and dark.
In 2010, a retrospective of his watercolors was published, entitled Natura Morta Mobile.
