Kor Onclin - House of jewelry

This painting is not a typical, classical Onclin. Full of colours, abstract, expressive. But different from his older work with a light touch and thin lines. No oil on canvas, but acrylic and ink on paper.

Kor Onclin was born in Leeuwarden in 1918. He spent a large part of his artistic life working in Privas (Ardèche). He was very productive there and won several prizes. The municipality of Privas bought his work and named a square after him.

He returned to the Netherlands at the beginning of the 21st century, where he died in 2003.

His earlier work is related to Cobra. You could call it lyrical-abstract expressionism. His work is regularly exhibited. The most recent major exhibition took place in Paviljoen Obe Leeuwarden.

His work was exhibited at Kunsthandel de Boer shortly before the Second World War. After the Second World War, Onclin studied orthopedagogy and psychology. Until 1978, he worked in The Hague as a psychotherapist and teacher at the Social Academy. In the 1970s, he exhibited in various galleries in the Netherlands. In 1978, Onclin left for France (Privas, Ardèche), to be able to devote himself entirely to painting. From 1981, he exhibited mainly in France. His work has been awarded several times. From the mid-1980s, he exhibited in the Netherlands again.
