Edward Teeuw (1969)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired by drawing comics as a child, Edward developed a serious passion for painting at the age of 18. Only having one book about Dali and one about Edward Munch as sources of inspiration, he started to experiment with acrylics. \u201cA whole new world opened up to me. I wasn\u2019t obstructed by what other artists already made, because I had no clue about the history of different trends within art. I only had two books about art in my cupboard, everything was new to\u00a0me\u201d.<\/p>\n

This \u201cfree period\u201d, ended when Edward collapsed and lacked the energy to paint. For a while he didn\u2019t get anything done.
\nThanks to a good friend of his, who took him to the studio, he came in touch with painting again and he regained the strength to go on.<\/p>\n

In the meantime Edward developed his own style. For long periods he worked at one theme and he developed his ideas by experimenting ferociously on this one theme.
\nThe starting blocks of his career as an artist; the comics books and a book with Dali’s and Edward Munches work, is still noticeable in his present style. Here and there one can see that he is inspired by Picasso.<\/p>\n

Faces in cubistic style, with a strong link to African art, play a big role in his work. Faces in trees, faces that jump out of telephones and shout in somebody’s ear in Arabic, all this surrealistic madness appears in his work.<\/p>\n
