Dirk Bakker paints fascinating figures that are somewhere between people and dolls, often well-known comic strip characters that are placed in the middle of the plane (sometimes floating lonely). Due to the bright and clear colours, Bakker's works at first glance look like performances for children. On closer inspection, they have a double meaning and the viewer is confused.
Dirk Bakker (Alkmaar, 1947-2021) studied at the Vrije Academie in The Hague and at the Ateliers 63 in Haarlem. At the Ateliers 63 he was taught by Ko Westerik.
