Tjebbe Beekman: Paintings

Dutch painter Tjebbe Beekman's oeuvre is composed of large paintings of rough urban landscapes and interiors. They are characteristically layered and include a multitude of materials: Beekman works in acrylic paint, but also incorporates rope, iron wire and sand in his works. His dynamic compositions are balanced and carefully composed on the basis of photographs; his chaotic images bring rhythm, structure and order to a neglected and bankrupt world. His work has become increasingly complex in recent years, its visual idiom and colour palette linked to the work of Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso and Max Beckman. Beekman Paintings is the first monograph on Tjebbe Beekman. The book is based on 90 of his works. This richly illustrated publication, designed by Irma Boom and with textual contributions by Hans den Hartog Jager, provides an indispensable overview of the 20-year oeuvre of one of the most important Dutch artists of his generation.
