One of Columbia’s finest restaurants, Rosso
Trattoria Italia at Trenholm Plaza, presents with if ART Gallery a body of work
by Dutch painter Kees Salentijn, who is represented by if ART. The reception
for the exhibition, now on view, is Monday, April 14, 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
Amsterdam
native and resident Salentijn (b. 1947) is among The Netherlands’ most
prominent painters. The initial inspiration leading to his mature style came
from post-war American art and from Spanish painters such as Tapies, Antonio
Saura, and later Millares. Salentijn developed a personal style that combined
the expressionist, painterly swath with smaller but equally expressionist marks
that are quick and slightly nervous but sure. Combining vigorous painting with
often-childlike imagery, Salentijn’s work eventually placed him in the Northern
European, post-war CoBrA tradition of strongly expressionist, abstracted art
that containes representational elements. Salentijn’s increased use of
figuration in the 1990s confirmed this link. His work is in several European
museums. In addition to the 1982 Chicago Art Fair, his work has been
represented at major European art fairs, including Art Fair Basel, TEFAF
Maastricht, Kunstmesse Cologne and KunstRAI Amsterdam.
