This is called "woman with towel"
She is drying her back
I have made this because i like to play with shapes and...
I have tried to keep it as abstract as possible.
My name is Erik Renssen, I live in Broek in Waterland...
I have a wife and two kids and I am a painter.
I like to struggle with a piece but it also has to have some spontaneousness.
It must represent strength, it has to burn into your memory when you leave it... That's important.
I try to confuse the mind...
that's the essence of my work, and it has to have some humour!
Always Jazz, I always play Oscar Peterson or Miles Davis when I work.
it has a certain rhythm that's nice to paint on, it may sound silly but I enjoy that!
I'm swinging around!
Sometimes when I plan to paint a nude...
while drawing, I sometimes see something new in the picture...
this may illustrate the creation process.
This work behind me for example...
I'm working on that at the moment..
I was drawing it with charcoal...
then I added some figures...
wich turned out to be a bed baluster...
So, that's when i decided to make it a nude on a bed!
So while working you discover things that you don't know of yourself.
In my work I try to surprise people...
with strange shapes or strange colours...
people may even be shocked by what they see.
Yes, I like women. Can't get enough watching them, that's for sure!
You have to put it on the canvas in one stroke, that's the power of this work...
painting with a fast, direct stroke.
Manytimes I am surprised what comes out of my hands...
when I'm painting it feels like mysterious things happen...
Where does it come from? I have no idea!
While I'm working and I'm in the right flow, I loose all sense of time.
I am litterally in the picture myself!
I'm inspired by ordinary things...
the things around me in the workshop, no matter how simple..
and when I see the children play, I could easily make something nice from it.
even the dog running around, it doesn't matter! Just simple things.
Like this canvas here, I like to work at it because...
it's long, big, exiting, erotic, it has it all.
