BIOGRAPHY:
Tony Krikhaar grew up in the rural east of The Netherlands. As a young artist in the 1960-ies he lived in the very heart of urban London. Wherever he went, Tony produced his memorable expressionist cityscapes depicting the excitement of London waking up to its post-war potential. Yet, Tony's childhood
experience of wide skies and unspoilt nature and above all, the very essence of the sun streaked, windswept expanses of countryside observed by the adult Tony in Somerset, Norfolk and France, left an abiding impression.
Whilst living and working in the often barren environment of central London, Tony has time and again sought and succeeded in encapsulating in oils the peace and beauty of rural landscapes surrounding him when away from the city.
He has found his own route, painting through landscape, portrait, the setting sun, and the female nude. He is minimalist in his approach, but very confident in his expression. Tony seems to ignore convention, to reach out into the possible rather than probable. To deliver his interpretation, it has vitality,
originality, challenge and beauty.His new work consists of two paintings combined. One is painted on panel, the other on the reverse of cast Perspex. The two panels are combined close together, other times he leaves a small gap to emphasise the space between them.
The effect is contemporary and the way his paintings are constructed frameless.
Although Tony has exhibited world-wide in Galleries and at Art-fairs (see exhibitions) he has an large and growing international following, which enables him through curators to organise successfully exhibitions at his home.
