Nature. Reinder Homan gets a big deal of his inspiration from nature. Gnarled tree trunks, mossy bark, jagged branches, the wondlines lines of leaf veins. But also the cultural landscape, preferably drawn by time. Old country houses with old gardens, the sunlight that plays through the trees and conjures up light spots on a forest path. A traditional Dutch city on a river. It fascinates him immensely and he shows how beautiful it is. Reinder draws the beauty of the ordinary. In gossamer lines. [Google translation of Dutch text at http://www.galerievanstrien.nl/kunstenaar.php?kunstenaarnr=223] Reinder Homan (Smilde 1950) received his education at the Minerva Academy in Gronigen and the Jan van Eyckacademie in Maastricht. He won various prizes, including the important Dutch graphics award in 1990. He is an etcher pur sang. From his refined atmospheric landscapes and nature studies, the enormous control of the etching technique is apparent. Homan knows how to capture his subjects in zinc and copper with seemingly playful ease. His subjects are mostly derived from the nature of the area that is dear to him: North Netherlands. He knows the character of the "Frisian forests" and the Groningen Westerkwartier like no other. His work is included in the collections of the Rijks Prenten Kabinet in Amsterdam, Museum Boymans- van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Drents Museum in Assen, the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden, the ING bank, the Gasunie in Groningen and the NAM. Shafts. Reinder regularly has exhibitions in museums and galleries at home and abroad.
