DELFT BLUES
DELFT BLUES ART SPECIAL ABOUT THE ARTISTS
PAULIEN LETHEN, artist and director of Holland Tunnel
Gallery, lived on the Greek island of Paros and in Kyoto, Japan, before she
settled in New York in 1982. She
still spends several months each year on Paros. Her paintings on paper, wood and metal reflect the different worlds of Paros, Japan and
New York. Light, shadow and movement are returning elements in Lethen’s bold, strong
and colorful compositions. In the Delft Blues Art Special she will show
a new series of works on paper and ceramics, inspired by the blue and white
pottery that she collected in Japan and in her home country
The Netherlands. In
1997 she founded the Holland Tunnel Gallery in Brooklyn NY that has gained
worldwide recognition as a microcosm of international and local talent. In 2000
she opened the summer extension of Holland Tunnel Gallery on Paros. www.hollandtunnelgallery.com
JAN
MULDER lives in Utrecht (NL) and spends part of the year on Paros, Greece, and
in New York. His work combines the vivid energy of New York, the Mediterranean colors
of Paros and the Dutch light reflected in the canal below his studio in
Utrecht. Poems provide themes and result in poetical translations in paint of
the condition humaine, like Rilkes
‘Am Rande der Nacht’ and Celans ‘Nachtbaum’. Jan Mulder exhibits in The
Netherlands, New York, Greece, Spain, Germany and Japan.
