Jan Hein van Rooy - Litho. Titel, Erf van G. - Sold

JAN HEIN VAN ROOY Born: 1940, Voorburg. Jan Hein van Rooy studied at the evening academy of the KABK in Arnhem and the Svenska Grafiska Sellskapet in Stockholm. Since 1992, Van Rooy has been collecting pigment-rich earths in the interior of Spain for the preparation of casein paint that gives all the color to the landscapes he creates there. He usually works on paper that is glued on linen, marouflaged. Drawings made in nature sometimes serve as the basis for a later lithography or larger workpiece. He also draws in the field with drypoint on aluminum plates that are later printed in edition (maximum 3), or as a mono print used with other technique(s). His inhospitable landscapes often seem abstract, but remain very realistic for the discerning reader through the representation of underlying geological structures. Van Rooy's landscapes take possession of you: 'paisaje irrestisible', irresistible landscape. Jan Hein van Rooy has exhibited in many galleries and museums at home and abroad (Spain, Sweden, Belgium, France, Poland, the Czech Republic and the US. His work is in the collections of Municipal Museums (The Hague, Nijmegen, Arnhem, Apeldoorn, and Eindhoven), provinces (Varmland, Hainaut, Granada, Noord Brabant, and Gelderland.), of the Rijksdienst Beeldende Kunst, Amsterdam, SBK Gelderland in Arnhem, the Krabbedans Eindhoven, the Department of Aesthetic Design PTT, The Hague, the Canisius Hospital of the University Nijmegen, and in many private collections.
