Kees van der Spek
‘De boevenvanger. (2021)‘
This artwork is made in the Emotional character trades of the icon.
Layers of courage and love,
Deepest layers of life experience breathing through the skin of the paper…
With, in de portrait– His kind, gentle sweet side– on the left; the light side.
And with his shadowside on the left, Extreme courage, and not being afraid of the shadowside of life.
Pure joy in creation, layer by layer, through the drawing process,
to reveal that depth, to let his character breathe upon paper. Not Drawing from just ‘a moment,’ but like a travel through multiple moments in life. ✍🏻🔥❤️
Pure character, of this very kind kind.
