Observers: Surrealistic landscape, by Zaanse painter Dick Karman.
Dick Karman, born November 7, 1948, was born and raised in Zaandam. He lived at Mr. Cornelispad and went to school at the Rembrandt School and the Speelman School.
As a child it soon became apparent that he could draw quite well and at the IVO school during Han Koning's drawing lessons he learned to work with Indian ink and washed pen.
Although magical realism remained the main form of expression, Karman also painted landscapes and worked with tempera, which gives the work a classical appearance. The appeal of Magical Realism is that it gives space to the imagination. If you look at the surface of the planet Mars you will see shapes that make you think. A rock could be a pyramid. He also thinks that everyday reality is only part of a much larger reality: sometimes you can catch glimpses of it.
