Dordrecht Art Walk

DO YOU LOVE ART AND ANTIQUES? Along the ‘Kunstrondje Dordt’ [Dordt Art Walk] there are many tempting antique and curio shops, galleries and art dealers’, antiquarian bookshops and unusual ateliers. On the first Sunday of every month they open extra for you from 12 a.m.-5 p.m.! A free booklet with addresses and walking route is available from the VVV and those participating in the ‘Art Walk’.

Frans Koppelaar

Frans Koppelaar is aiming for atmosphere. Since the 80-s he depicts landscapes and cityscapes on canvas. Frans masters the, for every painter indispensable, "technique of watching". A number of paintings are done "en plein air". Swiftness combined with a bold brush-stroke is essential because of the ever changing light. Works that are created in the studio are often more elaborate and are composed of various layers.

Especially for this exhibition a series of four Dordrecht cityscapes is included in the collection.

Joop Nijmeijer

Joop Nijmeijer started painting at a young age. Since 1987 he is active as a full time visual artist. He is best known for his still-life paintings. The well-balanced compositions are placed against a vivid background. Old objects but also modern materials are put on canvas in bold brush-strokes. Living nature is often present in the form of a flower or a branch with fruits.
