Toon Tieland (1919-2006) has always said that he is not influenced by anything or anyone, but simply paints what he sees. Certain stylistic features of Tieland's work can also be seen in the work of other painters. For example, Gauguin also applies strong contour lines around his color areas in order to create a sharp demarcation.
And it is precisely this application of contours that makes Toon Tieland's painting so specific. The primitivism that Gauguin introduced into modern art also characterizes Tieland's paintings.
Naive expressionism is therefore perhaps a good indication for the atmospheric characteristic painting of Tieland. The old city center and the countryside of Flanders are Tieland's most important subjects. Beautiful deserted winter landscapes, colorful skies, poplars.
